Wishing

 

I wish I could be a bird

That would fly in the sky

Passing too many miles

All over the world

And looking from above

To the most beautiful things

That makes you happy

I wish to do that

Without saying a word

Like other birds

 

 

Missing You

 

I wish you were here

In this beautiful day

To watch you

And come close to you

Ask you something

Not everything

Just one thing

But forget it

I'll keep quiet

I'll just close my eyes

And find you in my world

Where you can hold me tight

And won't say a word

 

 

I Didn’t Know

 

You flew like a bird

And I didn’t know

I looked through my window

Nights and days

Just to see you

And smile

To make me understand

That you are still here

But I heard from the wind

That you headed for somewhere

And you’ll be back

With you the sunshine

Because you really know

That you are friend of mine

 

 

Rain & Sunshine

 

The sky is blind

And it is crying

With the tears of summertime

 

Everything is getting wet

 

But after a while

The sky changed its mind

And decided to send some sunshine

To the other side

Where the friends are

 

 

The Breeze

 

Outside

I’m sitting by myself

In a white chair

Looking at the blue sky

Following the birds that fly

And when I close my eyes

I feel the breeze of summer time

Embracing my face

Like the waves embrace the sea

And feeding my soul

My world within me

 

 

 

Season’s Oath

 

From the old time

The spring gave the word

When time will come

It will go away

With beautiful flowers

And it did so

Year after year

Even the summer time followed

The oath of a friend

When it was ready

Left in the end

And the rainy days of autumn

Also preparing to leave

Calling for the winter

Because of the PROMISE they saying

Can you believe

 

 

The beat

 

My heart is beating

With the same rhythm

Like the music

It’s going slow

Sometimes fast

But it never stops

 

 

Colors of Life

 

If the sea wasn’t blue

It couldn’t be a sea

And the nature with beautiful flowers

Couldn’t have its beauty

Without different colors

Even when winter comes

With ice and cold

If the snow wasn’t white

We could feel bored

That’s why colors fill us

With joy and happiness

And keep us away from sadness

Always gives life to everything

And never takes anything.

 

 

How much do we love this world

 

Like in garden

With beautiful flowers

We see this world

In different colors

It doesn’t matter

What colors the flower has

It’s just to smell it

It is the same with the world

Instead of garden

And people

Instead of flowers

Do you really know

How much do we love this world

When we meet people

Like you, like him, like her

It doesn’t matter the color

Just a good heart

And true friend

 

 

1%

 

The dream is like water

When you are thirsty

Or like bread when you are hungry

Like the snow when you feel hot

Or the sun when you feel cold

And like nature when you feel bored

But all this can be 99% lie or illusion

And I won’t have confusion

From 100% of everything

I’ll keep 1% of something

My dreams

 

 

Sounds of Waterfalls

 

Whenever I get up

On the wrong side of the bed

And the loneliness is my companion

At the first minutes of frankness day

I forget about desperate moments

Right after I open my window

Silence

I feel so easily

The sounds of waterfalls in me

Animating my hopes

With wonderful noise

From the nature’s choice

I’ll wait…the nightfall

Then together,

We will fly like birds

Exploring the unknown

 

With no words

 

 

Baby…

 

She is a flower that blossoms

In your soul

And in front of your eyes

You’ll feel the power of love

Parents’ Love

 

 

Just Another Day

 

Just another day goes by

Easily like when you close your eyes

Faster than when the wind blows

And you embrace it tenderly

The coming sunrise

With wonderful dreams

And hopes

That the next day

You’ll enjoy every minute of your time

And feeling the sunbeam

Through your heart

In the coldest time

Being happy and ready

Handing this day over

To the blessing night

And shining stars

In the endless sky

 

 

Let Me Be the Air

 

In the deepest greenwood

Where is dark from the trees

And much more darker

For their leaves

I’ll use my efforts

To find a nest

And there

I’ll hide my dreams

That nobody could see

I’ll try to be a bird

To fly away from the freshness night

And moonlight

Far away from any event

That future can bring to me

Because to sing in this season I can’t

So let me be just the air

And I’ll blow everywhere

 

 

Blubbered Little Friend

 

Where is your childish smile

In that little face?

What has this unmerciful time done to you?

Instead of warm bed and good dreams

I see you there, in the coldest night

I find you here, where is no light

When I look at you

With tears welled in your eyes

Burn my heart

And my soul

Because I cannot do more

 

How to understand

That you are alone

In this big world

Let me wipe away

Those innocent tears

Running down your cheeks

Never a hello from nobody

No cheers for New Year

Give me both your hands

And have this friendly love that I feel

 

 

Where Is the Line?!

 

When you see the star sparkle

It’s unforgettable that splendor in the sky

You would love to reach it

And hold it

It’s impossible

Even for a moment of your time

But you won’t give up

You’ll try to go that far

And find the pathway

That makes visions survive

Just imagine and make a chain of words

Which will be the circle of possibilities

And in the middle of it

You will be a dream

That flies to high like a free bird

With the winner’s song

Because somehow and someway

You achieved to be a part

Of that beauty above

 

 

Angels

 

Once

We were counting our steps desperately

On the edge of the abyss

When the dreams were terrified

For a moment it was no hand

A strong hand to cradle

The happy colors of life

We were blind

Because they stole the sunlight

And… that evil spirit

Swallowed the white hope

Pieces by pieces

Unmercifully spread around

The storm of misery

For you and me

But the Angels that watched from above

LEND A HAND and we flied together

Exhausted… but still alive…

We survived…

 

 

Go Gently

 

Like in autumn

When the leaves fell down

Go smooth with a time

Don’t be sad

Even when it’s cloudy

And you feel that’s going to rain

Remember go gently

It’s no need to explain

When you walk out

Just close your eyes and imagine

It’s all white and it’s freezing

And you see flakes everywhere

Please go gently it’s icy

Or you won’t get anywhere.

 

 

With You

 

Every day

When the sunshine wakes me up

And whispers to me a sweet word

I know…

It will be a good morning

And there won’t be left a place for longing

For moments without you

I’ll live with flowers

For some hours

Until I see you here

With you I have no fear

In the deepest night

I’ll feel all right

Sometimes I hate the sun

Because you take my dream

And run

But when I open my eyes

For my surprise

A note from you

I’ll be here again

Because I love you

 

 

Feeling Wonderful

 

With a hope of tomorrow

I’m living today

The moments

Which time granted for me

Enjoying the stars

Deep in the quiet thoughts

Searching for the right answer

Is it me that shines

With beautiful light

That I took on the sly

From the moonlight

Or I’m feeling wonderful

With my world that lives in me

I’m thinking…

Nice feeling…

Everything is bright

This summer night

 

 

Snow Moments  

 

In a corner of my life

Where my inside world resides

I looked back

And revived again

The happy moments we had once

But now disappeared

Like snowflakes in my hand

Now

Without yours

Not anymore

Melting the snow moments

With our games

And the warmth of our hearts

Why

Everything that we built

We tore apart

 

 

Smell of the Rain

 

It’s raining

And I am all wet

But I can’t change my clothes yet

Maybe I don’t want to

Even if I could

Because I like

The smell of the rain.

 

 

Blessed By the Stars

 

Like a flower

A soul always flourishes

In their hearts

Embracing with care

Each minute of your being

Even through the fights

They love you unconditionally

And you feel all right

No matter how old you’ll be

Or how far you’ll fly

In that blue sky

You’ll always shine

Because

You are godsend star

Blessed with parents’ love

 

 

Just a Pantomime

 

Sleeping for so long

In the desert

No oasis, no hope

I forgot the way

How to climb there

And feed my spirit

With nectar of time

Somehow…

Your eyes

Candled the world inside me

And opened the door

Of the forgotten castle

With treasured histories

It was no voice

Just a pantomime

But the chain of words

That flied around

Inspired the will

As  a mirror

Regain the reflection

To move on…

Towards eternity

 

 

Twilight Zone

 

Somewhere deep in my dream

A wide opened field

My eyes sparkling with joy

In that world

Where nobody can steal

The colored moments

I enjoyed

With no fear

Nobody was awaken

Just me and the silence

In my twilight zone

I saw you

There at the windmill

In blue

 

 

Three Stars

 

 (Dedicated to Brothers Bytyqi)

 

The ocean

Between life and hope

You flew

With strong wings

Faster than the wind

In this end

Where bravery never died

For centuries

When everything was breaking apart

Even the world of a little child

You felt anger in your hearts

And flew here to the land

Where eagles grow

In every season

To bring colors of life

 

Tell me

Who stole your dreams

And gave them to hungry wolves

Never gave back to whom belong

Now

The silent nights of two sides

Embrace

Stars that shines in legend

Living within us

Today and forever

 

 

 River of thoughts

 

As a river

The thoughts flows perpetually

Every minute of my being

I’m a good sailor

Even when the storms begin

Disturbing the quiet sea

Wanting to scare the day

And chase the seagulls

I’m strong than ever

With a wavelet

Which cradles the dreams

Keeps my spirit alive

Always shed some light

In the deepest night

I’m not alone

With beautiful colors of sunrise

I paint the world

With love and hope

Because

Every new day

Is a gift from above

 

  

 Nature’s Symphony 

 

Inspired

By the beautiful season

I’m walking through the wind

Disheveling my hair

With a mother’s care

For a moment

I look around and see

Everything is dancing with me

With the summer melody

Even the trunk of that tree

The oldest member

Of nature’s family

It’s part of this symphony

And

Being member of this view

It’s so wonderful

Because

As my dreams blossom

I see through the line

If we search the pathway

We are never alone

 

 

 The unforgettable waltz

 

Flying easily

With those light wings

In a garden with beautiful flowers

You breathe with happy colors

Here is the queen

Which I have always seen

And I am

Your guardian angel

Following the steps of the unforgettable waltz

From your corner to mine

Right here in my hands

I’m waiting for you to stop by

And hold you for a while

I’ll say Hi

Even I won’t get a reply

Because I know

As a dream you’ll disappear

But hoping to come back again

In this wonderful day

I would give up anything in the world

If you could say me a world

 

 

So beautifully blue

 

My dream

Your love is

Embracing tenderly

The quiet sea

Blissful and blue

Flying in the endless sky

And coming back so easily

In our hearts

Everything is blue

In this serenity

Your eyes, my eyes

Even our dream

So wonderful

So beautifully blue

 

 

If the dreams fly away

 

Be silent like the night

When in your arms

I’ll fall asleep

 

Then like a child

You’ll hold me tight

I’ll listen to your heart

Is it beating as mine?

 

If the dreams fly away

And they’ll never come back

In our castle

In our nest

Remember

The moments that we had

And the time we’ve spent

 

Please don’t forget

 

 

I was here

 

When the sun

Was my daily friend

In the summertime

All the kids enjoyed it

Everything was so green

As far as the eyes can see

I was here

Even with rainy days

And falling leaves

I was here

 

 

But for a moment

I flew

I was there up in the sky

 

You were here my friend

 

 

Bottle of champagne

 

In this beautiful day

You came

And opened your heart

Like a bottle of champagne

 

With the sound

Of two glasses in our hands

We celebrate

The death of a secret

 

The bloom of something new

This season
