Harmony
There used to be a time when I was shining like a sun when I saw you, when you were here,
When you were my present and my everything, when you simply cared.
Now that you’re gone and given to all others and all circumstances
I find myself alone with Bach.
I need no angels, no pity, no muses, I’m just me with myself and my solitude.
Bach, my old friend, was right writing his music knowing
That all sound and thing in life has a purpose.
So just like him I bow my head in humility and quiet under the hand of the same Creator
Of the harmony of body, sound, mind and soul.

Nocturne
night falls again on us
unspoken silence
tenderness never imagined
in the rhythm of
your heart chasing mine
no, I won’t write any poems
I’m a nobody
I’ll just let the music of our souls
dance around
in lost attics
on rainy windows
we are one

“Tell me, if I would catch you someday
and kiss the sole of your foot,
you would limp a little bit afterwards, isn’t it,
in fear not to crush my kiss?… “

Live With A Smile
I cannot say that life was simple,
So far it was complicated like hell.
I wish it was simple, black and white
But it was made out of a million shades of blue
Of answers that never came and countless sleepless nights.
Today I open wide the windows of my soul,
Let the rain wash away my sorrows and
Breath the color from the bloom outside.
I embrace the spring and continue to live
Today, with passion and a smile.

Good Night World
I’ve always been in love with Lipatti. Maybe many of you have no idea who he is. I will say “is” even though he is in heaven. For me he is and always will be the most brilliant pianist I’ve ever heard. He is Romanian, his music is amazing, unequaled so far. A beautiful man, very intelligent, passionate, talented and calm. A man that carries in the tip of his fingers and in his soul divine grace.
As I step into the night I listen to Lipatti again.
May your night be calm and your dreams be sweet.
Good night.
