The Viking

                                                                              With one thought in mind

This world belongs to me

He was a free man

She was a free woman

They were free as warriors

Their integrity to their mission

Was more important than their body

And so they conquered land

Traded

Sailed

They originated

From Iceland, Norway

Sweden, Denmark

Finland

And so set sail to America

Long before Columbus ever did

They traded with the Arabic world

Went to Mediterranean countries

And sailed the long rivers of Russia

All the way to Kurdistan

They ruled the Baltic

They conquered the British Isles

And gave name to Normandy

They were one with the forces 

And the gods of nature

They were masters 

In building an empire

But didn't understand yet

How to sustain one

For a longer time

Just like there are warriors

There are still Vikings around

They do have long hair as men

But not necessarily so

And as women with long hair 

But not necessarily so 

A Viking is he who is fearless

And true to his mission in life

A Viking is she who is fearless

And true to her mission in life

Vikings are immortal!

Walking up to the stars


You can
Go to the left
Go to the right
Or get yourself into the ground

Or you can
Go to the right
While you liked the left
Or go to the left
With a desire for the right


Or for excitement
Go to the basement of life
Down and down you go
Darker and darker even so


Until
In a moment supreme
There shows up
One more direction to go


You can actually
Walk up to the stars
You have seen
The step by step

Message from a Winter Spirit

Some people wonder
How we survive
Dressed as in summer
While it is freezing winter
Snow, ice, blizzards
The answer is simple
We are not your kind
We are spirits
And are ourselves
Able to survive
Way below
In minus degrees
Laws like gravity
Aging and temperature
Don't apply to us
If you really look
And then listen
You can communicate
With us
We are around
We see you
And we add
Sparkle to life
Merry Christmas !

Mother and child

           ___


God blesses the child
Whose mother is called
Truth


The Evening Star shines bright
Just like the Morning Star
Between day and night


With the world so large
And the body so small
Mom is a safe heaven


God has blessed the mother
Whose child is
Truth

Puerto Rico

Bring me to the Wealthy Harbor
With sails full of wind
I need to hear that music again
Which is the rhythm of my heart


Puerto Rico
Make me dance
Salsa, salsa, salsa
Me corazon


Sail to the Wealthy Harbor
For another day
You can't stop that music
'Cause it is the rhythm of your heart


Puerto Rico
Make me dance
Salsa, salsa, salsa
Te corazon

Guardian Angel





Each and every time
When people are taken into the sky
All that is left for them
To have
Is the interior of the plane
Endless sky
And the embodiment
Of a guardian angel
With
Confidence
Compassion
And skilled communication
I put my life in your hands
And I give you in return
Admiration
Bring me home
Put my feet back on the ground
Again
Guardian angel

Un nouveau siècle

From the open window
Comes piano music of Satie
And fills the street
The Eiffel tower is halfway built
The best breakfast there is
Café au lait and a croissant

The air is filled
With creation, creation, creation
In the minds of the Paris people
Imagination, imagination
And l’amour is an art


Wouldn’t you like
To take a ride again
On this new invention
Called voiture Renault
I still do love your horses

Paris, c’est pas une ville
Nor a city or a town
It’s a dream
We had
And came true

Emperor of Quiet Winds

I am The Emperor of Quiet Winds
Caretaker of forgotten Dreams
While you sleep at night 
I roam the endless Bounderies

You are free to reign in my Empire
Sit down in the Chair
And rule with Fantasy
For just a moment that last Forever

Let me visit the Kingdom of your Soul
See your Land of Dreams and Vision
That makes me feel at Home
As Emperor of Quiet Winds

I do not feel any Fear
Neither do I feel your Fear
I trust You
While Quiet Winds roam

Floating upstream

Victorious is the one
Who disagrees by

Going against the stream
Following a dream

A boring career to keep

Following like a sheep
And go down the drain
No words to explain

No, for excitement is
An advise with no amiss
To float upstream and so
Some place to go
Where happiness is !

Walking dream



He is that kind of a fellow
Who turns the hearts
Of all the senoritas
Upside down

When they see
That glance in his eyes
They fall for him
Never to recover again

To them he is
A walking dream
Now trying to get him
Into their lives

Once he gives them a word
The fire goes even higher
Their dream now
Starts running

Take care of your life
You walking dream
Holding those senoritas lives
In your hands

Don't make them feel
You are the only one
Because the fact is
They are not the only ones either

May evening

The grass

Is smelling newborn fresh

After a warm day

There is activity 

In the air

Reets smell sweet

And I am watching

The sky

Waiting for the stars

To come out

Taytu RaUkuu

Taytu, that's my name
The daughter of Ra
I, Princess of the Kingdom
Of the Big River in West Africa


A lion awaits you at my door
But fear not
I speak the language
Of the king of animals
And so can speak with them all


My feet are touching
Mother Earth
All of the day
And I believe
Laughter is the best
Medicine of all


Taytu, you know
Is my name
Our continent is raising
We are the birthground
Of rhythm
And of soul


I watch the eagle fly
And the sky
I know when rain is coming
Days ahead
And when my sister
Is on the way miles afar


Take care of my lion cub
While I make you tea
With sugar reed
Real sweet
Play with it now
Or it will run away


Taytu is my name
If it is needed
I can climb the top
Of the highest hill
To see
If my land is at peace


Fear not
For wild animals
In the night
I know hours ahead
When they have planned
To go down their path


Taytu that means
I can teach you simple life

I can show you a dance
And how to be a friend
I am the Princess
Of the Land of the Big River
In West Africa

Goddess

Heal the minute scars
I have on my mind
With each song you sing
Through your voice



Make me whole again
After each battle in life
Through the soothing radiance
Of your divine face



It seems to me
You walked from the temples of Greece
The sanctuary of Southern Italy
The mountains of Aztlan
And the valleys of Japan



Heal me
Through the blessing that you are
With the songs you sing
Through the healing that you bring

Look.  Don't worry.


This TV
Makes you feel
Like a little man

That bad news
Makes you feel
You've got to worry

And it spreads
Like a virus
Amongst the people

What you gonna do?
Be like a monkey
Sitting in apathy?

You've got to
Look
Don't worry
Simple

Look around you
Just look 
And soon enough
You don't worry
And you will be
Exactly
Happy!

Woman in a man's hat 

                                              She is telling stories

On a Saturday afternoon

While he listens

With all of his heart

And she is a woman

In a man's hat

And she listens

With all her heart

To the rain pouring down

With sunshine in the sky

While she is a woman

Holding his hand

She laid herself down

Into soft coloured pillows

And the rain listens

To the silence in her thoughts

Because she is a woman

In a man's heart

Life is good

The way it is

And she smiles

While she knows

That she is this woman

In a man's hat

Amore eterno

Love can take a flight

Beyond any bounderies

Not just during the night

But in every second of your life

To the point that time

Is loosing it's grip

And your affinity

Is filling up the whole universe

It's at that point

You know

You stroke amore eterno

No barriers

No reservations

No limitations

It hit what is called

Forever

May I wish you

Amore eterno

And your life
Taking a flight

Destiny

I wish
I could tell you
Your destiny
But I will never
Be able to
Because I am not you

When the moon falls 






When the moon falls 
Children dance, children dance
When the moon falls 

And when the moon falls down
Let's play
In the garden
With
That
Big
Fat
Ball
When the moon did fall

And children dance
Children dance

Hope never dies

A thought, an idea, a dream 
Never dies
As long as you keep
Putting life into it

Hope is for what I can see
Nothing more
Nothing less
Than a dream
You once made

Remember now
Dreams come true
When you say so
When you think so
It will come true

It is Mr.Time
Who can turn you
Into one desperate desire
Until the last bit of hope
Slips out of your hands

No need to believe
All is lost
Because
When you put life again
Into your dream
It will come true
If not now
Or tomorrow
One day it will
And
As long as you believe it will
It will be faster
Than you ever believed.

Princess Love

Be ready
If you are the man
Of her dreams

You will dance
And laugh
And feel her touch
To your soul

Are you ready
For Princess Love

Who I am


I am the rider
Of a falling star
And the dream
Come true


I am the maker
Of three miracles
That saved others
And no one knows about


I am the poet
That read
People's minds
And touch their hearts


I am your friend
Even though
You don't know me
Yet

Sade

Everything
A woman has to give
Is inside of you





Mother Earth's daughter
Your love is king
Cherish the day
Viewing life from afar

Singing
In poetry
Writing 
In rhythm
Dreaming 
In melody
Dancing
Her song






Everything
A woman has to give
Is expressed by you
