118. BOUNDLESS LOVE



Together forever
 through thick and thin
Love like no other
No beginning no end
That dwells in each
And every breath
That goes beyond
The bounds of death

117. ALWAYS IN MY HEART


Encased in a silver box
encrusted with love crystal,
securely tucked in the secret corner
of the fourth chamber
within the stronghold
of my beating heart....
There you stay forever and ever
Until the oceans run dry
Until the birds cease to fly
Until the stars burn away
Until the night no longer change to day....
There you shall stay for eternity.
For you are mine and mine alone
For you were, you are
and you shall
ALWAYS IN MY HEART!

116. OHRID - THY LAKE BECKONS


Lay thee in peace as I leave thee 
For I shall remember thy great beauty 
Wait thee for me for I’ll return 
To be near thee, please wait for me 

So deep thy waters, mysterious yet calm 
Untouched by wastes, unscathed by industries 
I’d wish for thee to remain pure and chaste 
For in thee I found my God and inner peace 

Ohrid, thy lake beckons to me 
I shall return with greetings and love 
To breathe thy air and be carefree 
And thank The Almighty God above

115. LAKE OHRID



In one brief moment
your smile won me over
your touch re-assured me
that I'm still capable
of reciprocating
a man's love

Your eyes are reflection
of the blue waters
of Lake Ohrid
which bore witness
to the brief time
our hearts met

Your calm and humble being
brought me to my knees
in a land I once dreamed of
And I thank you 
for being there
for caring

I came, I saw but I did not
conquer you, Macedonia!
Instead I left behind
my heart somewhere
over there by the
Lake Ohrid

114. BORROWED TIME, BORROWED WORLD



Not by chance nor by coincidence 
From the spark of His fire has she come 
Born to her mum and to her dad 
To leave a mark on the pages of life 
To bring joy to the hearts of those who know her 
To be a lover, a companion, a friend, a wife
To the man who has chosen her
To be the mother to his children. 

Life in this world is a privilege 
A nursery, a school, a work place 
A test of strength, wit and will 
All on borrowed time 
And she thanks Him, The Almighty Heavenly Father 
For the chance to make a difference 
No matter how trivial or small 
In this borrowed world.
