Poem: A life of time
By Pasqual Torres

A life time together
would still be too few
I need several life times
to have a relationship with you
First is the life
we run free like dogs
then is the life
we just lay there like logs

then is the friendship
We learn all our hopes and desires
And finally is the romance
where we set the world on fire

So much to love so little time
to capture the feelings between your heart and mine

Asleep within
by Pasqual Torres

Love lost, love found
In the void, all around
In the shadows, in the open
In our fears, in our hoping
love lost, long forgotten
Love found, never stopping
It can not be created nor
Can it be destroyed
It can only be discovered
Between a gril and a boy
Lost in rational, the facts of getting older
In the darkness of a life always getting colder
Found again in joy, like a vision of a child
Realizing it laid sleeping within, waiting for a while
Lost or found it makes no difference from the start
It is only when we accept that it is always there
Can we feel it in our heart

A Look Inside
by Pasqual Torres

As I focus within
I see myself
not just a man
flesh and bone
but as a human
flawed, tragic
beautiful, amazing
Self evaluation takes over
Did I do enough
Did I do too much
Will I ever be satisfied
But the questions are without answers
And the answers provide little comfort
The truth is it all lies within
In my heart, in my soul
In my mind, in my spirit

The answers can be found
in acheivement
The smiling faces of others
The smiling faes of myself
So what can I do, what can I say
Nothing? Everything?
Maybe it doesn't matter
Maybe it takes being happy
Happy enough to know
Everything will be ok
Everything will work out
If I am just happy
Not blissful ignorance
But pride, esteem, ego and love
Self love, the love no one else can give me
the kind that makes you truely happy
Only then can I take my weakness
My love and consern for others
and turn it into my greatest strength
A love for myself

The Flow
By Pasqual Torres

The flow of my emotions
the feeling of my feelings
The rush of excitment
your presence has me reeling

The expersion of your spirit
the transparency of your heart
The knowing that I love you
dispite the space apart

We reach across the medium
and pour our minds onto the floor
reaching for an outlet
gaining so much more

Its the present of your presence
the gift that lasts forever
the desire for so much more
knowing that it is better
to give than to recieve
though receiving makes us wise
and fills our hearts with joy
And life with such surprise

So carry on with the feeling
never stop the flow
becasue without limits
I'll never have to let you go

Poem: Pinch me
By Pasqual Torres

Am I still dreaming or is this all real
The happiness inside
the love that I feel
It didn't seem possible
so out of reach
A equal, a friend
sharing beliefs

But I awaken each and everyday
and clouds part and the vision stays
It's all very vivid, the touch and the sound
my scenery has changed everything around

Gone is the sorrow, gone is the pain
Replaced with the joy and a girl with a name
The more that I speak it the more I realize
She is so beautiful from her soul to her eyes

And I think, "someone pinch me'
It's too good to be true"
And then sweet Emily says,
"This is real and this was because of you"
