Under Heaven

We came here
under heaven
the two of us
like a pair of eyes
 
We have time
under heaven
in the meantime
we are still here
 
You and me
you and me
you and me
and our wide bed
to give love
 
Night and day
night and day
night and day
and the smile apologizes
that he is lazy
 
We came here...
 
The two of us are one
the two of us are one
the two of us are one
one perfect and round
perfect and strong
 
Come we will give
come we will give
come we will give
i will allow you to give
to give to me to give to you
 
We came here...
 
And despite the gap
and despite the pain
and despite the sorrow
i love
and love
and love...
 

The Woman Who Is With Me

The woman who is with me does not insist
on washing her body in a sacred pool1
'She is not for you', my mother mumbles
and my father says she is as thin as a skeleton
but she is more real than all of us
it is love like in the times from before we were born
only i know
 
The woman who is with me does not insist
that i pick another rose for her every night
 
The woman who is with me is a fruit of heaven
in my soul like a string she quivers
my friends make eyes at her
and my enemies raise their hands in defeat2
she will envelop me in softness and fragrance
and afterwards will warm my body with hers
and i whisper to her
 
The woman who is with me is a fruit of heaven
slipping over my face like water over stone
 
To the woman who is with me all of me is addicted
and she also sowed in the fields that i plowed
in the morning i awake only to her
in the darkness i search for her lips
i am hers now and all that was for me
the friends, the dogs, the 'hook-ups', the games
on all I gave up
poor Juanito...
 
To the woman who is with me all of me is addicted
but do not reveal to her what i have said
do not reveal to her what i have said
slipping over my face like water over stone

The Ring of Gold

This is maybe
because we blew up and we fought to answer
we already did not want to put on
the promise of the gold ring
i saw in it only burden and untruth
 
and maybe
it is because we took a ferry to the islands
it was very very nice for us
a vibrant space opened up around us
i learned that it is possible without disappointing
 
my love, surely it does not have to be
that we will fall again into the same mistakes
go with me into the coming days
between the kindnesses and the flaws
 
and maybe
the accounts that fell between there and here
are a dangerous game
and the desire knows and draws closer
the promise of the gold ring
 
my love, surely it does not have to be
that we will fall again into the same mistakes
go with me the coming days
between the kindnesses and flaws
 

Only One Path/The Only Way

Why is the blue so dark today and why is the sun beating on my back?
 
Why do tears cover my cheeks and why is everything so dry around me?
 
Why is a bird singing somewhere and there is no one to see and hear?
 
Why does the stream flow so far away leaving wilderness behind it?
 
Because there isn’t only one path in the world
 
Because there are no principles in the world
 
Because we are running towards tomorrow
 
And we do not have solutions
 
Why is the dog on its four legs and why does no one understand it’s language?
 
Why is an owl only awake at night and why does no one know it’s path?
 
Why does a man build his own house and not the house of his friends?
 
Why am I myself, myself, myself and you are on your own from now on?
 
Because there isn’t only one path in the world
 
Because there are no principles in the world
 
Because we are running towards tomorrow
 
And we do not have solutions
