TREASURE

TESOURO

O homem quem gasta a vida
Procurando um tesouro
Perde aquêle que deixou
Atrás
Não sabendo

Eu sou os raios dourados
do sol
meus olhos lapis lazuli
e meus labios rubis de sangue vermelho
meu coração opalas puros
brilhando reflexões na luz
da minha malancolia

TREASURE
The man who spends a lifetime
Looking for a treasure,
Loses the true one he left behind
not knowing.

I am the golden rays
of the sun
my eyes lapis lazuli
and my lips of
rubies crimson blood
my heart pure opals shining
reflections in the light
of my melancholy

I am your lost treasure

You are...

indeed, a lost treasure. The emotion shows clearly. A little lighter tone than usual, but that is what I have been longing to see from you. ~ Gee

No way

No way
are you a lost treasure,
you are the one found
but' 'tis sad,
most miss the secrets of treasure
you share in equal measure
with all over here..
yes with me too
I assure you...

Thanks a plenty

I can visibly observe
the shaking hand,
but you are an exception
dear friend and old man...
Old meaning
experienced,
O! wise one..
