For two stars are born, filled with love & transcending light, Perfect in every way... Perfect in every sense... They fly together transcending time... Giving their hearts as they touch other lives...
Feeling the powerful strength that the sharing of Love, conveys. For their love is so pure that all who see Feel as if they have been touched by two angels of love, For each person touched by their love is given new life & destined to transcend far all of time. For time is nothing when we start to feel alive..... For you have brought me back to life.... Even if the burden of hardships makes me want to fall and fail.... This love...These two shiny stars...guide our paths and those of others in light. Love is unconditional, and can lift up even the hardest of hardships, If one only allows it to be in their life... For it is the true gift of life, giving hope & a guiding light that is so divine... Let it shine all over you.....light without and light within... Let it be your shining guide, for it is nothing but Love. Trust yourself and trust your heart...your soul talks to you, of a blinding light. The angels embrace you, they won’t leave you...let them take you...in their arms.

My Soul….You Go On
Tell me where they hide, when they don’t show up... If it is a secret, I don’t ask much more, Just tell me that. For my dreams talk to me...almost every night... For they show me things, I try to figure out. Maybe, I have turned blind, for I cannot finish to understand, What they really want to tell me, What the gods want me to find. Tell me how they feel...when I don’t feel anything, I just ask them to show me, how I can do it...How to go on...how to find light. When seems there is not a single ship... Waiting for me on this shore. Feels as if they were trying to guide me, Feels they spread their wings and took my
hand... As if I had no choice but to follow them... As if it were easy...and just had to hold on. Seems all things in life are like this... Just hold on.....there is happiness to reach... There is joy just within sight.... There is Love...just within your grasp. No one is blind as I can see... You are just what you really want to be; You are all light, inside and outside... Why not letting it shine... When it is craving to live, To be seen...to shine so bright? The stars are witnesses of time....of the miseries of man... What has happened to all such miseries? They have just passed by. They have disappeared in time, they have been forgotten, Just left behind... The same will happen to this your soul ache... The same destiny to your present despair...And seemingly endless pain. You will not feel the sorrow going... You will just feel a sudden relief... One day without notice, just feeling lighter... For Love works without your being warned. You will understand it is acting, For your light will shine brighter... You will see what is meant to be seen, But that seemingly endless pain prevented you from sensing. Your soul will feel lighter, Your heart will shed tears of happiness The angels you will be able to see... Who never hid, just waiting for your eyes to be opened. The ship will arrive to this your shore... It has always been there...it is the love of your friends. It is my love; it is my entire soul...
Giving you my strengths...for you to go on. By: Adriana
The Light Within
Your words & voice are what feed my heart, You are the light that shines so bright within me, Each day I long to see you, To feel that love that we share, You are my hope & reason to be, You are perfection, even in your times of need, When you feel joy it vibrates the heavens, Giving a spark of life to those in need,
For your soul & heart are truly divine, You are what make my light shine so bright, Your love is what radiates, & guides my way, You are the giver of hope, When I thought there was none to be, That is why my heart will always belong to thee, And my love will always shine through you, As you have done for me. By: Andrew

My Angel
When I look a pawn you I see what true beauty is, You are perfect in every way, Your heart is so pure, That one weeps tears of joy, Your voice is that of an angel, That brings the hardest of souls to there knees, For your soft spoken words fills them with harmony, And gives there souls new life, Your inner beauty is an endless sea of splendor, Full of fiery passion, That knows no limit, Given so freely to those you love,
The sun moon and stars are just a glimmer of light, For your soul shines with such brilliance, Filling are hearts with light, And guiding our way. You are the true state of perfection, For no other can compare, Such beauty and love, For you are my true angels! And one that is truly Divine! By: Andrew
Love & Hope
Have I lost all hopes...or is this heavy feeling inside... What the blinding expectation means...of things not real In my eyes yet... It is but time that heals, & opens the eyes, Hope & love are always there, just crying out to be heard, Love cries in despair, knowing that most people Just don’t care... Hope is there by her side... Reminding her of her beauty and the strengths she has. I am the star that guides your way, Waiting to embrace that love that shines From within your heart, & ever pulsating the fabric of time;
But Love feels sometimes it is hard...she wants to see that light That Hope talks about... And believe a broken heart, is as easily to heal if you just trust your might. Love is the key, shared by two souls that can mend even the broken of hearts, Hope is the trust that we give to each other, For our love to prevail... Love can teach you the best of things...and pass tests of life With the help of Hope.... Open your eyes and see...what they both can teach... For life is to hope, but love is eternal, & will take you to heights that only true love knows, That shines with such radiance that it is divine. Divine as two bodies and one soul, two hearts beyond lives... Being over and over again...just One... Shining ever brighter as their love unfolds, So let our love and hope that shines for all to see, Be your guiding light when in times of need... Because life will put you through hardships, and you might feel you die... Because it is easy to let yourself fall...and not wanting to stand up. We will be that light and love to help you back up, And guide you with the same love that the two of us share, For you all are precious in every way and part of our lives each and every day. For you don’t have to be afraid, For you can’t imagine the mighty power that to you, we can invest.... For you just open you heart and soul...and you will see... What true love can make you feel. By: Adriana & Andrew
It Is Running Through My Fingers
It is running through my fingers‌ It is water...just my life... It seems not to mind...while I am here... With an open heart and a craving mind. I try not to think...what to feel... It is simply the same... How can I see...what there is within...
If I do my best...yet...it is well concealed. I am getting tired...the sun has gone...the moon is there... As always....my sister....my love... She cannot leave me...we are just one... I won’t abandon her...I cannot try. I have given myself away...one and a thousand times... Blessed what loves me and surrounds... Managing this for too long...an eternity it seems, by now. I must listen to my soul and fly...for my spirit lays oppressed... I cannot expect to find it... If I stay here, and close my eyes. Let me find it...my sister, guide me... I beg you, tears running through my heart... Help me gather up my broken heart pieces... And get my wondering soul...my true Love, my Life...back.

Dreaming of a Shooting Star
Dreaming of a full moon nite, And a warm soft gentle breeze, Embracing the one that I love, As the moon, & stars shine down upon us, Kindling our hearts & fueling our love, Just waiting for the first shooting star to make a wish, That this nite will last forever, & our love sealed for all eternity, With our kiss the heavens shine bright, The moon & stars illuminate us with their light, The inner glow within pulsates, as time stands still, The beat of our hearts is as one, Our breath is in harmony,
As we look into each other’s eyes, We see our love reflected within each other, And for the first time we see, That our souls are as one, Pulsating with each passionate kiss, I do not wish to let go, As tears start to glisten, & fall gently down, For I know soon I will awake, And my heart will yearn to be back in your arms, Wishing upon that shooting star, That this dream will become alive, And you'll be there in my arms with the moon & stars. By: Andrew
A Timeless Feeling That Is Filled With Love
A timeless feeling that is filled with love, Enjoying each moment that I get to spend with you, For you are like the sun & moon, bringing light into my life & opening my heart to endless possibilities‌
The moon and stars accompany our hours as the sun just watches us dream.... The end of days will see our souls reviving, staying together, as daring Time. For our companionship & love transcends the boundaries of time, For each passing second our love grows stronger & pulls us even closer to each other, For time is but a moment, & our love is forever eternal. As eternal as the spirits of nature...eternal as light and darkness.... I can just wonder at the beauty of such emotions, for they seem to be like nothing else. Maybe there’s just need to get free, from those feelings that tie us to the ground... To listen to the voice of the soul and spread our wings and love. To let go & truly believe is all that one must do, for it is there just waiting for you. Listen to your soul and break those chains that bind & embrace that love which is so pure & true, And let it lift you to such heights that you never want to let go, For love is there & it is meant to be shared for all eternity with the one you hold so dear. But fears hold me, grab my hands...they want me to stay....not to fly high. They know once I am gone, I will never go back....but it is my choice, To be with you, or else leave love behind. It is hard...my heart aches, you can feel it beating...you know it well. It is there with fear, from previous pains in time....trying to heal...trying to trust Love again. I feel your heart each and every day, growing stronger, & beating with new life, And I will be there for you every step of the way, for I made my choice to be with you & share each moment of our lives and write a new chapter in time, One that is filled with love & happiness, one that will transcend the limits of time. I listen to the wind...you know what he tells me...? He says: "Open your heart, leave pains and fears behind!" I sigh and hold my breath.... It aches just to think, that I can be hurt again. I know your love is pure...I can feel it in every step... Yes, there are things that are better not to try to understand, For you are every second with me, in the distance, holding my hand. Listen to the wind, & listen to your heart & soul, For they will lead you to a place that you never dreamed you’d see again, and life
will start anew! By: Andrew & Adriana
May I Ask Your Permission
May I ask your permission...to ask a favor from you? You look upon the stars and feel the magick of life... Mine and your soul are there...hanging on with light... Blinding light that guides your steps... If you are brave and decide to open your eyes, So blinding it seems to hurt...but it is not pain.... Just the strong feeling....of giving yourself away. For you will feel relieved once you get to see... That there’s no need to fight alone....for I am here for you... If only, as another soul...I know... Fighting also....to find its way home. For my strengths also fail me, and I seem to stop to breathe.... But then I feel the burning heat of my sisters and brothers` love.... And once again...the force of life. We have met in other lives...of that I am so sure...
So please, my beloved heart...trust...and feel the pain, yes... But be brave and don’t let it, in your heart dwell... Look upon the sky and tell me...if what you witness is not life... Give yourself away and see...that, in the end....Love can only win. You, my beloved soul...my hanging star... May your spirit grow wings...take you away in dreams, And with me dare, to open your eyes, and feel the magick of life.

A Spirit Born To Shine
A spirit born to shine, Collecting those who have lost there way, Giving to them, a spark of life filled w/ love & light to guide there way, You surely must be an angel, For your radiance is truly divine, And your heart so pure, That the heavens weep, bathing you in their tears, For they see themselves in you,
A reflection of magnificence, & inner beauty, Giving so freely to those in need You truly are Angel from above For words can not describe the emotions that you bring, Filling our lives with such inner peace And sowing our hearts with love and joy, It is as if time stood still and all our sorrows disappeared And all that was left was a light so pure, You truly are an angel from above, But must of all a spirit born to shine! By: Andrew
I Will Wait For You till the End of Time
I will wait for you till the end of time, & my love for you will be even that much stronger... For you are that light that shines so brightly within me, Growing as you grow & filling both of our lives with a pure love. Because time will have passed by, and new stars will have been born... Yet your love will be there alive...making me realize and ask my own heart... "Why didn’t you listen? How could you doubt?" In those times my love will lift you up and show you the way, For you know deep down inside you that our love is meant to be... For you are my life & the air I breathe, you are the only one for me... & I will wait on thee for all of eternity if need be. For the Earth cries out your name and leads me back to you.... Guides me through my times of grief...to the light inside your being. For it is just one shiny star, your and my light within... For it is there and without....pulling our souls together through time. As each day pass, you see the beauty that is within you, & opening your eyes to what is before you, For you are never alone I'm always there inside your heart, Just waiting for the day that we have both always wanted to be.
I open my eyes, because your love leaves me no choice... What am I supposed to do, if you are there all the time, reminding me that I can? For I know I am not alone...your heart beats fast and warm to the rhythm of my heart... And when the struggle gets unbearable, and my soul seems to leave me, Yours is there to bring me...again back to Life. When the time is right & the moon is full, & the stars shine bright & just the two of us with the heavens above to bare witness to this night, I will take your hand on bended knee & ask you to be my wife for all eternity. By: Andrew & Adriana
If I Were To Tell You‌
If I were to tell you...how my soul is feeling now... I am sure you would not say, it is a surprise to you. I feel my spirit lighter...I feel I can reach out and live... The Earth is talking to me; I can feel it in the wind. To have witnessed & seen the changes within you Has been the greatest gifts that one could ever ask for, & to hear it & feel it is even more beautiful than one could ever imagine, You have become a picture of true beauty, & the wind & earth sing your praise each & every day. They talk to me of heartbeats; of sincere whispers every night... I trust what they have told me, as it is your soul giving itself away in light To walk with you in that vibrant light by my side, Knowing that our hearts beat as one, & to know that our souls cannot long to be apart, For your heart & soul complete me in every way,
Leaves me in a state of bliss, & one that I wish to share each & every day with you, The travel of our souls has started...for them to live as one. Every day they fly in joy, as the wind desperately tries to help. I know they will help us; our Mother is guiding and keeping us safe, Our hearts are lighting the way, left in darkness by the past and the pains. Each new day we reach new heights; the wind lifts us up & blows our pasts behind, & sings to us of the beautiful memories ahead, For our Mother has prepared for us a life of eternal happiness & love. A love that has lived many lives....that has survived the passing of time... There is little place for doubts, there is only one heartbeat and two hearts. The gods and goddesses have taken our hands, The first steps have been cast in darkness...but the next ones have taken us to be witnesses, Of the immensity of this Love. For this Love is sacred & true, Blessed by the gods & goddesses & given unto us to be their eternal flame, One that will last beyond the end of time, for our hearts beat as one, Our souls are sealed in a love that is eternal & true that will forever shine as one Through all eternity. By: Adriana & Andrew
This Seems To Be What It Comes
This seems to be what it comes, After many lives of feeling myself, Of feeling it all... Says the fallen angel, As she reaches the ground... No loving looks, No sorry's for being hurt, Only demanding eyes, Loneliness around and more spaces to fill. What if I just stay, and don’t think of the fall? What if they don’t care, when it comes the end?
I am not complaining, Says the angel with an empty heart... I am just reflecting, on human’s nature, Trying to understand What they all want. Is it never-ending love? Or is it just a fake life? What if after all, they end up empty, Just like my crying soul? Nothing is waiting out there, says the angel in despair... You just try, with all your might, to find... The happiness that for sure, Must dwell inside you... Somewhere, in disguise. By: Adriana
The Yearning of the Soul
A moon lit sky all filled with mystery &; wonder, Oh how does the soul yearn to swim amongst the stars, shining ever so bright. With each passing second, I hear the soft whispers calling me to join them, To dance within there magnificence &; glory, but alas my heart belongs to the moon &; all her beauty &; mystery. For one could not want more, than her cryptic embrace, For twilight soul am I, ever roaming within her magnificence. Shrouded by her cloak of darkness &; illuminated by her brilliance, Her love &; pain are mine to bear, but in the end I still must return, &; walk once more with in a place were all is not so bright, oh how does my heart weep. To dance amongst the star for just a little while longer could not hurt. For there is no sorrow, or pain, just a distant dream full of love. Why deny such a moment as this, for they are far in between.
And I must confess I do not wish to leave! But I must for my place is In between both worlds &; always to yearn for that moment such as this! By: Andrew
I have found you
I am grateful to the Gods for I have found you... For my eyes have seen your blinding light. The stars have been able to guide me, Guided themselves by your loving heart. Destiny calls, and choices to be made, The stars have guided my steps through many twists of fate, The Gods have blessed & shown me the way & filled me with inner light & hopes, that one day we will share our destiny together. Guess that destiny is written in the sky, Together with the hopes of our hearts... Even if our lives have just now crossed their paths... It feels right to think...our souls have merged in one far too many times, in the past. The past has come and gone, I look to the future now
Wonder what it has in store, for our souls have travelled many lifetimes, How long have they known? But I know that our future will be bright, For it must be we have travelled many lifetimes, to get to this moment in time, Where destiny is there just waiting for us. You know what dwells inside my soul, You know what fears and pains have marked my heart. There is little in me you do not know...how can it be, you are so deep inside these feelings of mine? Many lifetimes we have travelled indeed....the signals are written on the Earth... She is calling out to us; she just wants us to pay attention, to listen to our heartbeats... To open our wings, and together fly. There isn't a moment each day that I don't listen to your heart beats & hope & pray that what has been shown , will come to be, To open our wings & fly together would truly be heaven on earth, And our hearts would truly beat as one. Two hearts...just one single beat, two souls merging together in time... There is no way; to get away from this...destiny has talked, We cannot close our eyes and not feel. Many a twist of fate... as many lives as stars in the sky... There is no way to get away from this.... It is your spirit and mine...sharing the same breathe.
BY Andrew & Adriana
If I Close My Eyes
If I close my eyes, I can see their shapes far ahead... The shapes of those who wait, for me to trust myself.... They see me in the dark....wait with patience...about you, never doubt. In the dark & in the light I know you will never doubt, For we are here always beside you & in your heart, We are the whispers in the wind, & a soft gentle rain that touches you with loving warmth, & to know you is to know what true virtue is... What heart beats really mean. You are there in the night, when nature falls asleep... When creatures dwelling down on earth, come out to embrace you and play. You don’t have to think so much, there is no time for thoughts to wonder.... They are there to grab your hand, and help you to freely breathe. With each beat you feel new life flowing within you, Your breath is as a gentle breeze as you take my hand... All thoughts become as one, for you awake from the slumber that you have been in & you start to feel alive again with each rhythmic beat of our hearts, As they become one beating to a new vision of life. I can see the pictures in the wind, pictures of the present as it is.... There is no doubt regarding what I see, they are there still holding my hands.
For I feel alive yes, as I have never felt before...for they awake me from the slumber I have been in... Grab my thoughts about the past, and force me to give in. We are the visions of life that you want, Our hearts beat in time for we know your passion to be alive & free from the past that has no place in this time, We lift you up & place you on high & give to you the love that you deserve, For you have become the life that runs through our veins, and feeds our hearts with a love That is so pure & divine. Humbly I have no choice but to give in, to such an almost hurting gesture of true Love, That love that’s born from the ashes of times, running in the veins of your being in love. The feeling of trust gains ground...as fears start to lose the fight... As I find it impossible not to grab the hands, of those who wait patiently for me, In the dark, as well as in the light. We will shower you with rose petals, & bath you in the finest oils & give to you a love that is unconditional & true for you are Goddess that has found her reign, & to be within thine presence is as to swim in an endless sea of love, For you have always been that light & love that has burned within us, Now it is your time to shine, & be the Goddess that you were always meant to be. I shine for the love you give is as strong as my soul’s light... I know there is nothing to fear, if you hold m in your arms and keep me safe. I know you talk to me through the wind; I know your heart beats together with the Earth’s breathe... The Goddess within me commands me to give in; to the Love you surrender... To your unconditional, everlasting light that guides my path. By: Adriana & Andrew
Awake
Lost have been the days when I saw your moon, Shine with no flaws in my sky, The day came when I saw it was not your own light But mine that casted such glow over you. The days have come that I have seen the truth, The love once in your eyes has gone wild... I cannot find it there anymore... You are not yourself, you are someone else. My heart is trying to forget, how much my own light Was able to shine in the past, My eyes have been blurred by years of many tears... That have casted a veil over my heart. There is nothing to do now about it, As we cannot change the pains and mistakes Of the days that have passed. There is only a need to look at the present,
As the future is still hidden in the dark. Maybe the only thing that talks me of truths Is my soul in my dreams, patiently waiting for me to wake up. For me to stop lingering in broken heart’s thoughts... For me to leave tears aside and stand up and fight. For the light of one’s soul never dies, Even after death of the body, it flies free over time... How would I believe then, there is nothing for me beyond all this pain? There is more to find, There are bright and mighty wishes to fulfill, and promises made to my heart to comply. I can’t let it down; we have undergone many vigils, daydreaming of joys out of sight, It trusts me and my soul’s will; it knows there is Happiness and Love, Waiting patiently for me to wake up and live, and again love. By: Adriana
A Night’s Sky
Look into the night sky and tell me what you see, Do you see the heavens light with such beauty and mystery? Mirrored in an endless sea of splendor, Just beckoning you to get lost in there illustrious embrace, Can you feel that desire burning in side you? As a kindling flame starts to grow, And passions start to ignite, As you fall deeper into there embrace, And your mind becomes at peace, As your heart starts to beat, To a pulse of inner desire that is so unbelievable, That you dare not release, For you know it's just a fleeting moment of what's yet to come,
As you slowly drift away into a state of pure bliss, And you realize that you have become one with the Heavens, As your passion pulsates like a new born star, For now you have become one with the moon and stars So tell me what do you see when you look into the night sky, Do you see the one you love calling to you, For it is only your hearts desire that you will find in that endless sea of such beauty! By: Andrew
ONE SOUL
A distant dream coming into reality, Many years have I longed to see your face & to feel your love, My heart yearns for the day when you completely let me in to your life, & take a chance on this new found love that has been there... For many life times, & found once more. Words have become almost useless since we found each other, Since we let our hearts and souls talk.... The gods are whispering through the wind to your ears.... Desperately, they ask me to listen as well. It is a feeling that one can't even express in words, to feel two hearts & souls in such heavenly communion, It is as if we have always been as one, for the love is pure & the feelings true, I can hear the heaven’s winds speaking of a love that is so divine, Gently telling us it is our time to be as one. For they seem to call each other, Our souls which have shared this sky since ancient times.... And the necessity to take your hand once more in this life, And look into your eyes, feel your light and trust.
When you look into these eyes you will see a love that is so true, A trust that is pure & only for you, & a light that burns & shines Ever brighter as we come closer & closer to each other, I would give everything for you till my very last breath, which is my love for you For you are my heart & soul. For the cries of the hearts have unveiled... What there had to be suffered and lived. Only time was able to open your eyes and mine, For us to see and feel this Love; This Love kept alive since ancient times, This Love setting us free, joining our souls harmoniously... In One. By: Andrew & Adriana
Darkness in Love
Easy very easy, to fall and to stay... Darkness grasps my hand and takes me away... Away from dreams and away from life’s pain... It is a different feeling but it is pain all the same. I feel it deeply scratching my soul... It wants me to stay; it wants me to give myself away... I feel comfortable....everything is the same... The feeling is a bit different but once again all that pain. All of a sudden I feel slight fiery strength.... And feel like rebelling against all that hurts... Feeling that calmness together with emptiness,
May not have to be there for ever after all anyway's. But it holds onto me and tightens its grasp... It doesn’t want me to leave... It has fallen in love... But I cannot stay....I don’t want to fall... Love and light are still out there waiting for me... I will stand up again and let darkness behind. By: Adriana
