One Big Unicorn

One big unicorn, strong and free,
thought he was happy as he could be.

Then three little kittens came around,
and turned his whole life upside down.

They made him laugh, they made him cry.
He never should have said goodbye.

And now he knows he could never part,
from those three little kittens that changed his heart.

Sleepy Kittens

Three little kittens loved to play,
they had fun in the sun all day.
Then their mother came out and said,
"Time for kittens to go to bed."

Three little kittens started to bawl,
"Mommy, we're not tired at all."
Their mother smiled and said with a purr,
"Fine, but at least you should brush you fur."

Three little kittens with fur all brushed said,
"We can't sleep, we feel too rushed!"
Their mother replied, with a voice like silk,
"Fine, but at least you should drink your milk."

Three little kittens, with milk all gone,
rubbed their eyes and started to yawn.
"We can't sleep, we can't even try."
Then their mother sang a lullaby.

"Good night kittens, close your eyes.
Sleep in peace until you rise.
Though while you sleep, we are apart,
Your mommy loves you with all her heart."

Warm Heart

For a moment I though I could forget you.
For a moment I thought I could still the loneliness in my heart.
I thought the past could no longer haunt me, nor hurt me.
How wrong I was.


For the past, no matter how distant, is as much a part of me as life itself.
And you are part of that life.
You are so much a part of me, of my dreams, my youth, and my ambitions that in all my tasks I can't help remembering you.
Many little delights and things remind me of you.


Yes, I came. And would my pride mock my real feelings?
Would the love song, the sweet and lovely smile on your face, be lost among the deepening shadows?


I have wanted to be alone. I thought I could make myself forget you in silence and in songs...


And yet I remembered. For who could forget the memory of the once lovely, the once beautiful, the once happy world such as ours?


I came because the song that I kept through the years is waiting to be sung. I cannot sing it without you. The song when sung alone will lose the essence of its tune, because you and I had been one.


I have wanted this misery to end, because it is part of my restlessness.


Can't you understand?
Can't you divine the depth and the tenderness of my feelings towards you?
Yes, can't you see how I suffer in this even darkness without you?


You went away because you mistook my silence for indifference.
But silence, my dear, is the language of my heart.
How could I essay the intensity of my love when silence speaks a more eloquent tone?
But perhaps, you didn't understand....


Remember, I came, because the gnawing loneliness is there and will not be lost until the music is sung, until the poem is heard, until silence is understood.....until you come to me again.


For you alone can blend music and memory into one consuming ecstasy.
YOU ALONE....
