Coffeshop of dreams The places we have been, the things we have done The memories collected through time are gone A warm summerbreeze, a day in the sun The lovely fields where we used to run Thoughts of revolution over cups of tea We had all the answers, you and me The things we´ve learned will never go away our souls so young and free I hope that you decide to stay in that coffeshop of dreams with me. Everything was simple then, consequence unknown A sigarette is all you need to own There was no tomorrow, no yesterday We had no place called home, no place to stay Time unexisting, space shared and treasured This is how the meaning of life is measured The things we´ve learned will never go away our souls so young and free I hope that you decide to stay in that coffeshop of dreams with me. Lessons learned through time, life´s bitter tears The pain and the pleasure of all these years The color of the sky is not always grey The future is open wide, not yesterday I´m glad we talked, that you made me see We are finally one now, my soul and me... Ask me how to live your life, and this to you I´ll say: make your choises true and wise, so that when tomorrow will arise, you´ll smile at yesterday... |

"Time unexisting, space shared and treasured This is how the meaning of life is measured" "I´m glad we talked, that you made me see We are finally one now, my soul and me..." Very nicely written Nando, and a lovely flow! I particularly liked the way you captured these lines above. Well done! Best wishes, /Kit |

nando, your poem just reminded me of some great memories I had of one of my closest friends. we used to go to a cafe and chta. THe place seemed like heaven we shared our intimate secrets with each other and enjoyed each others company. thanks for taking me down memory lane. wonderful poem. really enjoyed this one. Lessons learned through time, life´s bitter tears The pain and the pleasure of all these years The color of the sky is not always grey The future is open wide, not yesterday I´m glad we talked, that you made me see We are finally one now, my soul and me... ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures.

Oh nando -- This made me yearn for the simpler days...sitting in a booth with a cup of java and a friend. The memories are so sweet! Thanks!! "That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |
