I wrote this today, and gone back to it a few times to reedit, but, all in all, it's in the creativity that we all should be living, rather than in the let-downs of life. You see, there's always an up-side to creativity; you're always on the up, seeing life half full or half empty, depending which way you advance through it.

"If I could be stepping on notes,
I'd be stepping on destiny!

If I could step on stones,
I would step on you...

But I can't; I'm trapped in love,
I can't see the above,
For it is too low!

Yes I can!... I say it to myself!
Wouldn't I like to shout it for everyone:
"A horizon is never too low
  if I could envision it half full
        as I travel
         from love to life!"

If I could be travelling on
 from one job interview to another,
I'd be keeping on the fluff,
Hugging every cloud,
Plucking out the rough
       from every diamond I'd meet!

If I could be singing on and on,
I'd be smiling right now!

If I could sing,
From all worries, I'd be drained;
I'd be drawn to picking in every other smile,
Should I be living inside a song!

But I can't; I'm trapped in life,
I can't see the above,
For it is too low!

Yes I can!... I say it to myself!
Wouldn't I like to shout it for everyone:
"A horizon is never too low
  if I could envision it half full
        as I travel
         from life back in the arms of love!"

If I could be stepping out of the shoes of love,
I would never be stepped on again!

If I am that stepping stone,
Then, please, step on me...

If I could be leaning on a rainbow every day of my life,
I would never be lied to again!

Should I be stepping on notes,
Then, hear me,
      watch me again,
      walk up with me time and again
       and you shall never be steeping any lower
              than life itself ever again!!

Yes, I can! I can break out of love,
For the best is never beyond
           what I can or cannot see!

Yes I can!... I say it to myself!
Wouldn't I like to shout it for everyone:
"A horizon is never too low
  if I could envision it half empty,
 As I travel
   from love back to life,
   back to love, then into my lover's arms again,
   then back to reality, back to life,
   just to be ready for love...
... In the end, it's all life, is it not?!?!

Just let me have my life and love shot
For I see those two through a glass
         that's half full at times,
 
  At others, half empty!"

I’ve been working on a new netvibes Universe! You can enter it from here.

Looking forward to your visit, your considerations and your comments about it!
All the best from me.

 On New Year's eve, I wrote the first poem/song of 2008. The following is a poem I wrote this week.

"January's over,
But you just begin
 to unfold like a flower,
Petal after petal,
You are sprouting wings!

One angelic moment after another,
You react so tender,
Yet your palms,
Those strong props with an added calm,
Quite like a flower,
                          So you support me,
                While blossoming unlike any other!!

You step up onto February,
You stand against its winds,
You vow to get to Spring
 just by being a wondrous spring yourself!

You venture through the stars,
You come down with the rain,
You vie for the best ray of the sun,
While thinking of me and my dying self…

January's over,
But I just begin
 to unfold like a flower,
Petal after petal,
I am sprouting wings!

One angelic moment after another,
I react so tender,
Yet my arms,
Those strong props with an added psalm,
Quite like a flower,
                          So I support you,
                 While rhyming with no other!!

I am coming out of the slumber,
(I am coming out of December),
I stood against its winds,
(I stood against its winter ends),
I vowed to get to Spring
 just by believing in a wondrous spring like yourself!

I am venturing through the stars,
Coming down with the rain,
I vie for the best ray of the sun,
While thinking of you and your rising self…

I meet you in midair,
I dance with you, getting lost in your flair!

We leap through time and reasons,
We land with love on other seasons!

I'm taking a stand:
I'll stand by you,
            I have decided!!

At this website, I'm currently working on a mystery. It is inspired by my will to be creative, though also by a poem about violins and the Gaelic language.

"Sip a readable drop and stay tuned!"

A chosen emotion is frozen in tension,

Once a notable intention hits motion.

Afflicted in pain once on the move,

You're bound to be affected by its groove.

You may not be able to dance,

But you would definitely put up a stance,

For having an emotion is one thing,

Yet letting it known outwardly is another.

Yea, holding an emotion inwardly

 does not always fit for "The Outwards Daily!"

Speaking out is good,

Holding it in is fine.

Thinking out loud is strange.

Laying it out on the table is the norm.

A standard devotion is a call with the ocean;

At once a session with the action is established.

Distinct in its vocation, while on the move,

The wind weighs in with its groove.

You may be able to wiggle your way

 through the wind, through the day,

        Even throw your weight...

And you may surely dig in with some play,

Though the nature ultimately outweighs you,

When you try and hit it with a thesis of daisies!

Hey, thinking ahead or even instantly

 is surely the digging of "The Eagle's Outstaying",

                                                  incidentally!

So, plan ahead and conquer diligently,

For that's what it takes

 to be swinging your way out of "The World's Accidents Daily!"

Storming out is bad,

Holding back is worse.

Sharing in on the play is within range,

For it is from there that you could outsmart!

What's not fit for "The Outwards Daily",

Could be posted on the dotted line.

What's the thinking behind "The Eagle's Outstaying",

Could tip off who digs, who drives…

                  You Are!

And who's mending "The World's Accidents Daily?"

This could be our diligent driver

                        in two words:

                              I Am!

 I am letting you in on a little of the lyrics of the 3 songs featured on my newest  Flash player on the main profile page of my other musical profile here on my space :-)

Special note: in order to hear the new songs, please pause the other flash player further down this page that automatically lets you hear another song of mine.

 Let me know how you like it :-) Thanks!

From "My Burning Light"

"Never hand over all the lights,

You will need a candle, sweet candlelight!

You would make a joke, you will make me laugh,

You would write me something

     I could never forget about!

You would sing out loud,

You could make me proud of saving my life for you!!

For you're my burning candlelight,

Yes you're my burning work of art

                painted on my heart!!

You're like a beacon I'm looking up to!

You're just a step away from Heaven,

And I am your muse!!!

     That's quite a fuse to sing about!!

That's what I remember you told me;

That's how I remember you hallowed me…

You've always taken over all the lights,

Because, for me, you burned the brightest...

         (Sweet bright star,

          Never tell me who you are!

          Always go the distance,

          Always shine an instance,

          Then go back and dim and track

           every beat and thing and thought,

          So our love could remain a fact!)"

From "1 by 1 life moments"

My heart's not the sun,
And I'm not anyone's son,
You don't know how it hurts me
                to say those things out loud!!
 
I haven't hurt anyone,
And no one heard from me…
One by one my life's moments are yet to shine,
I hold them in my mind's dresser drawer,
And it's stressing me out!
 
 
I'm just the one in a million,
Yet, unlike the flowers in a field,
I'm not a minion,
I have dominion over my life seeds!
 
I'm just one added together
 with the tears in a letter
  that I sent out through a song
                          once before!
 
 
Once again I like to sprinkle words 
 on the pavement that I walk,
And I seem to get nowhere,
For I'm never used to talking
                       about my words...
 
 
So many think I've made it,
But I've never made it past my door,
It feels as if I'm crawling on the floor,
Accumulating every burden just to prove who I am!!
 
 
 
I'm just the one in a million,
Yet, unlike the flowers in a field,
I'm not a minion,
I have dominion over my life seeds!
 
I'm just one added together
 with the tears in a letter
  that I sent out through a song
                          once before!
 
..."
 
 
From "Did you know"
 
 
Hey ya there!
What's up! What's new?
Did you get my letter to you?
Did you think I was as truthful as before,
The first time we'd met on the shore?
 
D'you remember I wrote on the sand,
Did you think I wrote it from the heart?
Did you know I loved you
    the first time my eyes were set on you?
But do you have your heart till set on mine??
 
 
 
The world is talking about you,
             Oh, oh, oh!!
I couldn't help but notice
      You! You!! You!!!
You were everywhere,
Everyone had your name,
You were making the fairs
 everywhere that I was going!
 
The globe's measured according to you!
               Oh, oh, oh!! 
               Oh, oh, oh!!
I couldn't help but sleep with
      You! You!! You!!!
I was logging my trips,
I was blogging about you,
I was longing for you!!"

I saw green in her eyes...
Red in my head appeared!
My heart carried on,
And no more blue as its refill,
'Cause I felt
       I was ready to head out!
 
 
The sky looked so white,
Pale in comparison to her blackness!
We've had our transparencies...
Was so easy to see...
For once we'd started talking,
It felt as if we colored the room like the sea...
 
 
 
Words are bare meanings,
Feelings bear no colorings,
All whilst we give each other bear hugs!
 
Thoughts are life's refills,
Senses are life's infields,
All whilst we happen to find, 
                                 field,
                                  fold 
                 that precious diamond in us
                         called the heart,
            Just for someone to find it
                                        feel it,
                                     and hold it!!
 
 
 
The green sea in her
                complemented 
                             the blue sea in me,
Conversations were indigo,
Contemplations were on the go…
For, no matter what the wind threw 
                               transparently through,
We had a great time!!
 
 
 
The leaves went their brownish ways,
Yet our words never seared,
As we talked so sincere
 about what we've been through,
            what we've shared,
             and what in the world would expect us,
As we'd let us both experience the tan
    under the eternal yellow lifespan!
 
 
 
 
Call the heart!
                    Call her art!!
'Cause life moves us in its circles,
But we're moved by diamonds!!
 
Cold, though, it may be,
               It's in your heart I long to be!!
 
'Cause we're moved by diamonds;
As life moves us in circles!!
 
 
 
Words are bare meanings,
Feelings bear no colorings,
All whilst we give each other bear hugs!
 
Thoughts are life's refills,
Senses are life's infields,
All whilst we happen to find, 
                                 field,
                                  fold 
                 that precious diamond in us
                         called the heart,
            Just for someone to find it
                                        feel it,
                                     and hold it!!

I've been doing some gathering up of links that are most useful.

On the Winter Aroma page there are some fun, educational and informative links, plus the Christmas special. I have to say that I prefer less the drinks there, and more of the music. Funny how I coupled up Chayanne with Cheyenne or how I like the 2 different styles of Marie and Marie and so on. The background photo is of the town of Aschaffenburg, Germany.

On the Summer Aroma page there seems to be a special aura of summer with the radio, the webcams (pointing to summer-feel sites) and the smiles even. You will have to go to the Winter Aroma site to find how the weather is like, but you can also view what time it is while on the page, *lol*. By the way, don't worry, I like language challanges and Dutch is not one of my top languages, but I also thought is nice to place "Vad ar clockan" in Swedish on the Wintery page.. :-) The background photo is of Isla Margarita, Venezuela.

As on both sites it is striking to view the Spiritual links, it is quite evident that I'm a Christ follower, God's follower, therefore whatever is on those two sites, and with whatever goes on in the world, the more anyone puts their trust in God, the better their days will be, whether in the summer or in the winter. So, it is always good to have my heart at ease, at peace, at home, sort of speak. The motivation is there.. are you? Let me know!

Cheerios!

  If you live on this Earth, you have to read this!

For quite a long, long time people underestimate each other, fight one another and curse each other's brains out, without thinking effectively and efficiently towards themselves. Nefariously, we have been looking down on us, ignoring what we could achieve when coming together, shunning out the inspiration breeze that we all breathe here on Earth.

How could we fail to recognize who we are and who we could become? Discoveries come with a lot of speed these days, technology and medical science the same, but the issues of peace, after such a long, long time has not been resolved.

So many wars, so much hate, so much disgrace! There could be so much freedom, so much happiness, so much grace!!

If you so happen that you are looking in a mirror today, accept no exception, for you are an awesome person! If you so happen that you are looking at another person today or tomorrow, do not expect a prejudice to conquer you, for if that person looks with the same happiness, the same grace and with a particular free spirited gift, then it is obvious everyone should love one another and not dismiss each other like so many times it happens!

Should you not like someone right away, give them time to grow on you, or learn their trade, you might enjoy a certain percentage of what they do or what they sound like from a distance. Should you decide to take on new heights, impress yourself with someone you never ever could have thought you'd run into, because there might spring an inspiration from that individual at some point in your life.

Wars and hate only divide nations, whereas peace and love unite people with different values, from different backgrounds and of various shapes and sizes.

The most important thing is: there cannot be good and bad coming from the same God, therefore, you must overcome the obstacles and the shadows and the doubts keeping you down, and always look up, look up at how peaceful the sky is, how free it is, how Heaven could one day be as peaceful and as full of love as God is.

 Death is not of God, same as doubts, they are not coming from Him, it is us who begin to have those doubts once the bad spirit or things kick in!

 Love is of God, so why are we not following His example and love one another, as well as appreciate each other without hurting ourselves time after time without any rhyme, without any reason, season after season!?!
