When I Think Of You

When I think of you, 
I feel the rainbow against the 
grey and purple sky, 
I feel the bright and shiny 
twinkling stars up so high, 
I feel the soft clouds 
wondering above the sea, 
I feel the sweet coolness 
of the mid-winter breeze, 
I feel the morning mist 
in the early autumn days, 
I feel the sweet laughter 
on a pretty little girl's face, 
I feel the fragrance of the 
fresh flowers, 
the precious gift of god, 
the spring season, 
I feel the sweet love within my 
heart to carry on.

Color of Love

If love had the color, 
i wonder what it would be? 
Would it be deep purple 
like amethyst? 
Or aquamarine blue? 
Or maybe pale pink 
like rose quartz? 
I don't know! 
All I know is that 
love is the feeling 
we all experience 
sometime in our life. 
We feel that deepest 
joy within our soul. 
Maybe it has all the 
colors, like a rainbow, 
That's why it makes us 
feel so euphoric and happy. 
 

Untitled

When the white and 
silent snow 
falls softly on earth, 
It seems my soul 
awakens from a rebirth, 
Through its tranquility 
my heart gains 
the solitude, 
then slowly and slowly 
my spirit attains its 
complete beauty.
