There will be a day
When light will shine
Freedom will laugh
And Peace,will settle on every body\'s chest
Up high
~~~~
If I find the true essence of love
In my finger tips
Like a ray of sun
That is peeking from the windowsill
I will open all of my senses
To a fascinating journey
Around love and trust
~~~~
Anxiety
Tiredness
Depression
Worries
Despair
And the feeling of abandonment
Are the shadowy disguise of broken hopes
~~~~
Hold the moon in your thoughts
Whenever you are alone
In the darkness
~~~~
My lips were pursed as flower buds
My eyes closed in a moment of sinking
Into his eyes
My skin felt warm with his touch
When I saw myself laying next to him
On a garden bench
His hair on my face
My hands on his shoulders
His lips closed on mine
And the intense rhythms of my heart
So tender
Suddenly
I opened my eyes with a sparkle of virtue
And suppressed all his greed into his soul
That I am a “woman”
A woman of her own rights
A woman to be cherished and to be loved
Not only to be kissed and fantasized
