Poem I : Back in Time.

 My first poetry entry in seven years.

A time of my life where there was plenty of tears.

A time when I fought my worst nightmares and fears.

When I watched, day by day, a new piece of memory die and disappear.


During all these days, never had my heart beat that fast again.

Those were the final days of the agony of a life-time love. 

Why let me love that much, if it was in vain? 

That`s all I wonder from the blue skies above. 


As days were passing by, never was for me a time to rest.

I gave it all, my life, my joy, my dreams, my ev'ry single breath.

Now it`s all gone, not even pain makes it`s living in my chest.


There`s just fragments of a joyful romance to revive.

at least my friendly pain gave me something to strife.

today I gaze the emptiness of love, I face the lack of sorrow.

like there is a time for new beginnings, another chance, a new tomorrow.


I can easily recall my gold teenage years.

By the time I never even had my very first kiss;

therefore, no sweetness of warm lips I'd have these chains to fight, to dismiss.

And, for my fortune and despair, I would either had not found truly bliss!


Blessed the days when lonelyness used to burn like fire,

and live true love was my only one desire.

to stare at your shiny eyes, the vision of love I most admire.


To find my lady and share with her all of my dreams;

to understand love, and taste by myself what it means.


Ho, would you please come back, sunny days of hope,

warm times before I was left alone in those everlasting cold rains!

come, and let me feel like a teenage dope,

'cause I know some of those part of me still remains!


here I lay, day-dreaming, in my numb play-pretend,

wondering if  it is someone out there who still understands.

what the tenderness is in a simple gesture of holding hands;

if love waits to show us joy and delight, why deny his entrance?

Awake I stand still in my bed,  as my feelings enhance.  

Happiness so close to mine, yet so far to embrace!

I wish uppon a star, when to start that romance?

 I've searched for  love all my life. I just need one last chance!


Walking down the streets, I seek fo thee everywhere, 

to follow your footsteps is all that I really care.

For you are the brightest star in my sky, and so marvellous is thou flare,

that special light of grace I never get tired to stare.

And to stop this search for you, my love, is a task my heart never would dare. 


For now, I must leave this writing and get some rest.

There comes one more day without you, my ultimate test!

Just know that I`ll be there with you all the time.

No matter how distant we are, I feel you already mine. 


I can wait for you one more day, one more night.

I have all my faith put into you. 

I can handle another day with my heart beating tight.
