Warrior
All my life I have been a warrior, and always came out on top,
As long as I’m alive, I will never stop…
Wars need not be against man, maybe cigarettes, drugs, cancer or
even just pain,
I will face anything with the pride of a warrior,
I just turn things around and make them a game.
I have never asked anyone for help,
I have always depended only on
myself… .
All my life I went any place, without any fears,
Now, nothing will change, because of my years…

Secret love
Gee, the world is spinning at such a crazy pace,
But, I find peaceful beauty, when I look into your face,
I love to see your eyes, filled with mystery and tenderness,
You make me long for your every warm, sweet kiss.
I love to lay beside you, naked in the bed,
Kiss, stroke, rub and caress from your toes to your head.
You make all things worth doing, just standing by my side,
Still, how I long for the day, I no longer need to hide.
When you and I could walk, hand and hand, proud, for all the world to see,
Then my love, you will show, how much, you really love me.

Without You
He said, did you ever wonder, wonder, what I would do,
If you ever walked away, and said that we were through…

Or just hang around and cry for a while…
