Light Blue Light

She does not catch
Your dreams at night
No pretty lamp
That shines a light

Protects your thoughts
Makes monsters hush
The butterfly
With daddy's wish

Let it be there
Right next to you
When father's there
It's force times two

Learn this by heart
When day is done
A soft voice says
Sleep little one

Butterfly Dreams

I wonder whether it still works,
Whether it has kept its energy
Whether it was cut off
Whether it flows
Or is just floating?

We will see.

Where are those eyes

Where are those eyes
The serene form
Of your blessed
Happy and loving face

The ivory hand
The beautiful breast
Which when I think of them
Make of me a fountain?

(old Italian poem)

Heart with Joy

I just need my baby's arms
Wound around me tight
The candles all aglow
But with my baby far away
What good is mistletoe

Please make these reindeer hurry
Well their time is drawing near
You wanna make me happy and fill my heart with joy
