Lets make this here aswell, deans got to several hundred!

heres my latest one:

My Hearts true Face

My rage is kindled!
Burning with passion
But not for long
My love is too strong

The way of the dagger
Is not my path
Even though I try to pretend
The act cannot be
For ‘tis not thy

If I say it is
Surely it is a lie
For I cannot be
Sly

Peace is my life
Love is my gift

I leave you with this
My life in a twist

Suffer not in silence my friend,
for you know I will always be right
here to lend a most sympathetic
ear, or some simple laughter
and perhaps a shared story or
just some good cheer

Don't ever feel that you are all
alone, because can't you see, I
am sitting right there beside you,
in spirit, in deed and in mind, ready
to bring you a deep understanding
and some simple heartfelt compassion
in your most lonely and troubled of
times

Yes my friend anytime, anyplace,
and all without pity and with an
unfaltering, unselfish heart full
of grace, my spirit shall be right
there beside you whenever you
desire, to lend you a shoulder, a
warm hug and some gentle relief,
so be not so proud and don't ever
hesitate, just call on me, because,
you know that anytime at all your
friendly voice, is one I shall always
await

Ela sorriu e ele foi atrás
Ela despiu e ele a satisfaz
Passa a noite, passa o tempo devagar
Já é dia, já é hora de voltar

Aqui ao luar, ao pé de ti
Ao pé do mar
Só o sonho fica
Só ele pode ficar

Bathe in the sea, see the trees
and the leaves with me, so
simple, pure, and fair, the
billowy clouds, the calm
soothing warmth of the air

And Bodhisattva even I could
show you, a great wisdom or two,
my hands just digging deep down,
I hear the sound, of two hearts
beating as one, sharing the suffering
of this sea, and the beauty of just
you and me

For we have always been one,
you and I hand in had underneath
this blazing golden sun, creating
a warmth all our own, and a solace
that somehow still yearns and
thirsts and yet it has only grown

Like the leaves and the trees, it
blooms with such graceful purity
and true ease, a few little moist
drops of rain, some compassion
and care, and this feeling is fresh
clean and new all over again

[Mama San]

Amos,
I found one that is just right for the season!!

CHRISTMAS EVE
The children lay in bed this special night
Holding their breath with eyes closed tight
They know the magic won't be right
If they are found awake after midnight
Shhh, at last they hear a sound
Tinkering bells in the background
Do they dare open their eyes
And peep out at the dark skies
Will they only see the snow
Or is Santa parked across the road
They hear a creak, is it the door
Or is it the cat creeping across the floor
No this time they know for sure
It definitely was the bedroom door
Not one child dares to breathe
Or make a sound in bed this eve
They knew it was he creeping across the floor
Even quieter than the year before
Will he leave me a doll's house
Some toy soldiers and a sugar mouse
There's a lot of rattling, a creak, a groan
Now he's finally leaving our home
We wait in bed for what seems like hours
Until we're sure the house is ours
Then we are all out of bed
Feeling around to see what's been left
Our sacks are full, O what joy
We have been good girls and boys
We feel around and shake each one
To us Christmas day has begun
But suddenly out of the dark
GET BACK TO BED! The grown-ups bark.

God bless,

The warm blowing wind

Leads me back to you again

Please just hold my hand

What do you do, wherever you are?
Do you take long peaceful walks, and gaze up at the stars?

Do you sit by the fire, and just ponder your life? Do you feel all things as deeply as I do? Like true joy, happiness, sorrow, and strife?

Do you feel good, do you feel bad, do you enjoy your days and your nights? Do dream of the all the sweet times we shared in the past?

I don't know from day to day, what it is that you do, and if the times that you have, are good or bad, happy or sad

All I know really know darling, is that what ever the simple things are that you do, I so want to be there to share them all with you

[Lotussan]

Walk with me, and you shall see the beauty of a life filled with devotion, not all this meaningless strife

Hand in hand, sharing all our plans together as one, we shall find happiness and enjoy all the fun life has to offer

No painful memory would be too much for me, darling you could share them all, and break down the stone wall surrounding your heart, and I would still be there for you, never to depart

I only know that wherever I go, and whatever I do, it would all be so much better for me if I could just do it with you, just you and I sharing the universe and the sky, all the flowers, and stars, just holding you so tightly in my loving arms

I would shower you with kisses sweeter than the mornings dew, hold you so tight, and make everything in your life, feel oh so right

No worries we would have, we could forget everything in the past, because don't you see darling everything would shine like new, if I could just be there right beside you

Well I'm not into poetry much but thought this needed a New Years poem...

Let us all gather round and cheer,
With a drink of wine or an ice cold beer

Perhaps you're like me and don't drink the swill,
Or your like my grandparents who live on pills.

Maybe this world seems harsh at times,
Or its just that most of us just like to whine.

I'd say that this is a great place to be,
It all depends on how we can see.

True we've had bad things in the past,
But we know in our hearts that these will not last.

If we try our best to be simple and pure,
There's nothing our hopes and dreams cannot cure.

So, I don't know the value this is worth,
But lets all try to be happy and heal Mother Earth!

Happy New Year!

 

[Lotussan]

The greenery and the trees, just you and I down on our knees in the garden, planting the seeds to be grown

Your hands cupping the earth gently at first, and then patting it back down so firmly into the ground

Such mastery, and a simple fondness of the beautiful things that shall bloom in the spring

And then there is me, such a fragile flower, darling why have you come to me the sweetest of deep dreams? Have you come to rescue me?

Have you made me grow? Yes dear you have, but I wonder, this do you know? Tell me my dear, just how did this beautiful seed of adoration ever get sown?

I gently brush the snow from your hair as you are come
in from the cold, darling don't you know my sweet feelings for you shall never grow old
I shall adore you until the end of all time, no one shall
take this sweet feeling away for it is simply amazing, and I am so glad, for it is all mine
The light in my heart shall never fade away, it shall only grow, never to stop, I shall always want you dear, this I just want you to know

A little star fell from the sky, you caught it in your big palm, just in the nick of time, you saved the little star who was so afraid to shine, you gave it a little light in the deepest, darkest night, in sweet dreams you stood, tall proud and strong, giving your wisdom all the night long, the energy of your bright guiding light, glowing so very patiently as the shy little star struggles, and just follows along trying so very hard to shine alone, and all on it's own

[Lotussan]

I mostly write lyrics and they're a bit different of poems...However the song is the song...But to me in order the song was complete the lyrics should be meaningful and the music according to the meaning of the song...So would it make sense if i start posting my lyrics here(coz it's the way I express my inner world) without the music?

 

[Lotussan]

Darling where are you? Come here and hold me, do the things only you can do, let your heart be light don't be angry, baby don't scold me
I am yours, this don't you know? Come hold me dear, and I'll tell you so, I would do anything to prove this to you, cause I really just adore you so
Just be my everything, and you will soon realize that I am your savior, I will not disguise, I will not hide, I will simply share all the love I have here inside
So just be by my side, and think of me too, and I will be there, right beside you, whenever you need me, I shall be there, sharing with you, cause don't you know darling I really do care

[Lotussan]

I'll be your protector, I'll be your sweet saint, I'll be your little angel baby, so just ask, don't hesitate

I'll come running, with wings on my feet, to be there with you, so indiscreet, I would love you so right and so deep and make you feel so complete

Cause sweet darlin' I can't hide, this feeling I have for you inside, it just blows me away each moment of the day and night

I just long to be there, to comfort you and care for you, someday to bring you such joy, and be your every little thing

And my love, if that day ever comes, I promise I will stay and always say everything to make it so good, and so real and tell you every moment just how I feel

Cause baby don't you see, you are everthing to me, nothing else is so right baby, so I'll just close my eyes so tight and dream of you holding me tonight

If I could be your goddess if I could be your saint, if I could be your angel darling I would make you feel so alive, I would help you become so awake

I would take all your pain, and shine the light of love upon it, I would take it to the bright sun that shines golden on these little flowering bluebonnets

I would make your every dream a sweet inspired poem, I would make your every moment a sweet long drawn out sonnet

I would do all this for you my dear if only I could and I would do it so sweetly never, ever, to be misunderstood

The cool breeze blows, and my adoration only grows, it changes with the wind, and yet it comes back again
I adore you from afar, and so want to know just who you are, in all the ways unknown, because darling this adoration it only grows
How can I so miss what I have never known, and yet I know it so well, because the dreams have such beautiful stories to tell, and the things we two have shared they seem so wonderful, can we really have known this feelings that I feel? These things that I see, in the long ago, was it really just you and me?
I feel there was such sweetness in the past, and the feelings they last, as a fragile, flowering woman so captivated, I can do little more, and so I shall just adore,
and adore and adore, and adore.....
