an invitation

i open my eyes and see you for what you are
flesh and bones, blood and muscles.
i listen to you and hear you for what you are
a human like many others.
and the funny thing is ...

i open my heart and see you for what you are
a beautiful rebellion, a paradox of sorts
i listen with my soul and read the new echoes
a mystery - i'm a "junkie" - i need to unveil.
and i understand, finally ...

you are my love, you are my dream,
with you i've learned to breathe.
you are my love, you are my dream,
my agenda is not to suppress your freedom.
don't be scared of me. - "smile!" -

please, hear me.

i invite you to (come and walk with me)
i love the streets of paris (do you love them too?)
you love the trevi fountain (can you take me there?)
i invite you to (the best adventure of all)
the lights (diamonds on black velvet) can you see it?
rays of the sun (through the crying mist) can you feel it?

will you open the gates?

"oh my love", you are my fantasy,
with you i've learned to fly.
"oh my love", you are my fantasy,
my agenda is not to suppress your freedom
don't be scared of me. - "smile!" -

please, hear me.

open your heart, listen with your soul.

you are flesh and bones
("the power of ...")
you are love and sanctuary
(i am carried away)

i invite you to, a place where you've never been,
do you want to, my little explorer?
i invite you to, the best place in the universe:

a world for two.

OK, here is my first TPM signature from 2001. I am not sure about the capital letters, here's how I wrote it on paper back there at least.

As Articuno
Was I The Lord of Winter
In my Realm, Finland
Where The Snow covers forest
Where The Lakes are Frozen
As Psyduck was I
Hugged by Maiden Elf Misty
In Land of Immortals
Where Sun rises from Mountains
Where the Cherry Blossom Bloom
And as Magikarp I
Swam up The River Huang He
In The Empire of China
Where The Ancient Wisdom began
Where The Mighty Dragons fly

Misty was the first anime girl I ever noticed, that's why I used to be a big fan of her.
