Love Hystory - Act I

Love Hystory - Act I


I am never gonna leave you, he promised her
We will always be together, forever
Love
Flowers
Hearts
Kisses
Two souls in unison

Together
Against time
Against aging
Away from the noise of the world
On a beach
Alone, together, for ever

Protected
Free
Committed to each other, forever
Till the end of time and beyond

Never say never
Forever is too long
Love is an emotion
Devotion in a vacuum?

Daily realities
Enemies of love
Time passes by in cruel steps
Human nature against love
Love against the odds
Love against the rain

I am never gonna leave you, he had promised her
We will always be together, forever, she had said
Love they felt, genuine
Flowers need water
Hearts can be broken
Kisses cannot pay the rent
Two souls in unison
On a cold wintery beach

Winter
Cold
Body heat, together, against the cold
Against the big chill
The world outside
Reality kicks hard
The bubble is genuine, but how long can it last?

The externalities
Cruel daily realities
Erosion
Confusion
Together, running against time
Together, holding on against the wind
Sheltering each other against the rain

The chill factor
The windshield factor
The breeze
The freeze
The squeeze


The economic reactor
The bred and the butter
The cries of the baby
New realities
New pressures
The beach is deserted

On the road
Hiking for bread
Riding on hope
The rope still holds
The love persists

Love
What a precious emotion
For such a cheap world
Where survival is so expensive

Lust
Can it last?
Emotion for devotion
Devotion to an emotion
Against fear

The love is always there
The lovers are gone
The parents are in
The baby needs

Where is the love?
Crying for milk
Bills, blown in
No time for thrills

The love is dead
The baby lives
The lovers turned to survivors
The survivors to knights
Protecting of precious flower of the love

Sacrifices are needed
Trade offs emerge
The two are three
They are not free
Committed to the fruit of love
But what about the love?

Forever
Against time
In spite of the days
Sun, rain, wind, heat
Nature

Is love natural?
Is love for ever?
Can emotions outgrow their fruits
Emotions sacrificed in the temple of life

Where is the love?
Growing!
A life of its own
Where are the lovers?
Maturing

Where is the love?
I am never gonna leave you, he had promised her
We will always be together, forever, she had pledged
Love, honest
The fruit of love has taken a life of its own
Hearts
Kisses
Two souls in unison protecting their love

Guardians of the fruit
Warriors of daily chores
Fighting in the world markets
For milk, bred and butter

Beautiful days Stormy nights

"beautiful days, stormy nights, sunshine is here, maturity is near"
An allegorical commentary, based on a poem of mine, that refers to the dynamics of this first decade of the 21st century!


August 2005

There they stood, outworn winners
There they stood, proud losers
There we were, a vicious crowd
To the crowd the spoils

There they fought, desperate gladiators
There they thought, intellectual princes
There they felt, the winds of the ocean
There they met, the messenger of the king

Knights they were, in shiny armour
Nights passed many, then countless days
Princes they were, full of noble intentions
Days passed many, then countless nights

Children they were, of noble ancestors
Centuries passed many, then short decades
Adults they were, full of ambitious ventures
Quarters passed many, then short Mondays

Beautiful days, Stormy nights
Sunshine is here, maturity is near

Global Relaxation

Relax, the winds are dying down
Feel the change
Anticipate the sun
Prepare for the rain

Endure the pain
Conserve the joy
Enjoy the lust while it lasts
Cry for all the summers lost

Winter is coming
It always comes
Year after year
This is the year of the Globe

Welcome to the Spa
We've been waiting for you
Or someone like you
Enjoy the stay, the pool is that way
