ILUZIJA
Trazili smo se po tuđim zalutalim osmesima
blesavo razvučenim i praznim...
Jurili po ranjivim slikama bledih uspomena,
otrovnom dahu sosptvene setve...
Upijali bezvezne reči u nemim odjecima
zamorno tupim i neprolaznim...
I snili uzdah zenice, oblik i miris kolena...
San koji uzleće iznad kletve...

Ne, nisi ti iluzija... Tako nešto ne postoji.
U iluziju veruju samo izgubljene duše.
U svakoj dozi nemira koja bojom telo žesti
oživljavaju dubine što te videše i čuše
kako izranjaš iz svemira
kroz paučinu svesti...

Izgubljeni trenuci slažu se u memljive kule
otežalih eona vremena...
Ustalasani se oblici stapaju s okolinom
i prelivaju poslednje kapi...
I one što su sve videle, i one što su čule
posrću pod teretom bremena...
Hoće li se bar jedna obojiti svojom silinom
pre no što se stopi, ishlapi...?

Ne, nije sve iluzija... Tako nesto ne postoji.
U iluziju veruju samo umorni i stari.
U svakoj senci trajanja nazirem nešto o tebi
što mi zenice boji i ćutanje osmehom zari
dok te u moru kajanja
nalazim negde u sebi...

Vau

White Rose

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

- J B O'Reilly

The Knight of the Rose



I dreamed I saw a garden
A lady, she stood there
Green and white were her garments
A red rose in her hair
I said to her, "My lady
What do you do in here?"
She smiled and said, "Where would I be
But watching o'er my dear?
But watching o'er my dear, my love
But watching o'er my dear
She smiled and said where would I be
But watching o'er my dear?"


She gently took my hand then
Her glove was all white lace
And though we walked through garden paths
Her small feet left no trace
More lovely than the roses
More stately than the trees
And bloom and bough reached out to her
And danced upon the breeze...

We rested on a hanging bough
Secrets she revealed
Of a land where summer always shines
And wounded hearts are healed
Where sorrow never lingers
And nothing causes pain
Where heart's desire is heart's delight
Forever and again...

We walked again and mists arose
Her hand was cold in mine
When suddenly my mind was filled
With all I'd left behind
I cried, "Where do you lead me?"
Her eyes filled with despair
And softly then she disappeared
Into the fragranced air...

And so now I wander all alone
And never can find rest
For she took all my heart's content
Laid fire within my breast
No beauty can be rich now
Nor music can seem fair
Until I find my lady with
The red rose in her hair...

The red rose in her hair, my love...

My Love

My love is like an ocean
It goes down so deep
My love is like a rose
Whose beauty you want to keep.

My love is like a river
That will never end
My love is like a dove
With a beautiful message to send.

My love is like a song
That goes on and on forever
My love is like a prisoner
It's to you that I surrender.

please someday
please sometime i'm hoping
but hoping's not enough
maybe dreaming or make believing
that she'll come my way
this time i'm movin
through the hard times
through the good times
i'll be there through it all
there's not a doubt in my mind
i may be crazy
it's amazing
the harder that i try i still cant get it right
until the bitter end
until the end of time
until the sun goes down into the lonely night
absent minded maybe for other things
this time it's different i'll think of you not me
you think i'm joking i'm talkin seriously
but are you certain the one for you is me
or is this just another lead on
until the bitter end
until the end of time
until the sun goes down into the lonely night
absent minded maybe for other things
this time it's different i'll think of you not me
(nothing to gain and nothing to lose)
(you played with my mind but i still want you)
(nothing to gain and nothing to lose)
(you played with my mind but i still want you)
until the bitter end
until the end of time
until the sun goes down into the lonely night
absent minded maybe for other things
this time it's different i'll think of you not me

I knew I was waiting for someone
I did not know it was you
Then one day along you came
I guess you were waiting for me too

We knew what we had was special
One of a kind, strong and true
It began as friendship
And then it grew

Now I cannot imagine life without you
It would be bleak and empty and cold
With you my future is full of promise
And together we shall grow old

I pledge you this day my heart and my soul
In front of our family and friends
My feelings for you will grow each day
And my love for you knows no end.
