Boots, Love, and alien diplomacyBoots, Love, and Alien Diplomacy
My love is five five, a sturdy delight,
With eyes like warm coffee just kissed by the night.
His hair oh, it's brown, but wait, there's a glint,
Silver like stardust, a celestial hint.
A soldier, he stands with a mission in mind,
So set in his ways, he's a rare, stubborn kind.
His socks hide a...

Her journey to self loveShe sat in front of her vanity mirror
Her reflection felt unfamiliar
The girl in it didn't look how she pictured
She felt like a visitor
In a body that should be familiar
Yet somehow she felt like a prisoner
Not knowing how to feel about the person in the mirror who reflected her
She wasn't...

LoveAlways has the warmest feeling,
Often offers support and healing;
Stops my wounds from bleeding,
Never forceful, is gently leading;
Never harsh but sometimes stern,
Is patient with me until I learn.
Can't be bought with diamond beads,
Opens flower buds, wilts the weeds;
Saw me through when I couldn't see,
Gave me a key so I could be free;
Is my best and most...

LOVE FOR THE VETERANSLove for the veterans
I don't know what to say
I never fought in a war
But I saw what our veterans went through
On television and how the war grew
I say people all over the world praying
And I also heard a lot of critics on what they were saying
People pray for love and end the war
There were a...

TALKING ABOUT LOVE
Sweet is the impulse of love,
the fundamental reason for life...
Dreams of love,
shine in the light of the stars,
adorn the illuminated sky,
with immeasurable divine splendor...
When loving hearts,
beat in the same rhythm,
peace falls asleep peacefully,
life becomes beautiful and shines
the earth breathes pure air...
When true love happens
living is a gigantic...

Foothold on the sunMy heart sings as I walk on springs,
With foothold on the sun, unburned.
Your love fills my heart, my soul,
My whole being.
I swim in love –
I fly without wings.
Joy clings to my feet,
Gratitude fills my mouth.
So I sing, I dance in the air,
My claps echo with harmony.
Happiness knows no rival
Since you arrived with your love.
Your touch...

LOVE FORCEThe force of love, is so strong, it’s like the pull of the atmosphere.
It pulls us in to its orbit, making us need it more and more.
We try to escape, the power of its pull, but it wakes us up even as we try to run.
We think of all the reasons why...

SmileAfter 63 years of smiling
You might say I’m a professional
I don’t know when I smiled for the first time
After all I was a baby for a while
My parents didn’t take many photos of me
I was the second child
so I guess the novelty had worn off.
Sometimes a full toothed grin
Followed by uncontrollable laughter
Isn’t...

Silent HymnShe left no echo, made no sound,
Just folded time without a frown.
No curtain call, no loud applause—
Just grace departing without pause.
A hand once warm now gently still,
A final breath, a resting will.
And yet, her presence lingers on—
In morning light and dusk till dawn.
Soft is the way the faithful part—
A silent hymn within the heart.
No need...

Blooming for the SilentWe bring the dead flowers,
Heavy with sorrow’s weight,
Petals trembling in cold hands,
Blooming just to fade away
Upon a place where no one lives.
Tears fall slow like winter rain,
Nourishing grief buried deep,
Roots tangled in forgotten earth,
Reaching out for a whispered breath.
The wind hums soft a mournful song,
Echoes of lives once bright and near,
Leaves shiver in the quiet...

Say GoodnightDon't forget to say goodnight
'Cause when you do my world seems right
For though the bed bugs may not bite
Without it I just won't sleep tight
A nice long trip to dreamland waits
And your goodnight unlocks the gates
Of all the dreams it generates
Big snowstorms are my favorites...

Don't Leave MeDon’t Leave Me
Please, forgive me
Please, don’t leave me
Please, chance, let it be
Do you love? Still? Please!
I hope, I hope, you love me
I want to find you, in my way
Be a trap on the road, please be!
Let me fall into you! Kill, kill me!
Your heart is a deadly weapon
Please, change my life, kill this demon
Send me...

LOST PROPERTY
That’s another umbrella lost;
Six already this year.
I dread to think how much they’ve cost,
But I won’t shed a tear.
It isn’t entirely by accident
That I leave them on the train.
I have an ulterior motive you see.
It’s all in the name of love.
There is this lovely girl I’ve met,
Her name badge says she’s Anne.
I haven’t plucked up...

I know I need to love my God moreI know I need to love my God more
Because I feel that
I don't love God enough
I know that in the mornings
I have the blues that I hate
I know that I should be grateful
That I have health
I know that I Iove the sun
I know that I will be happy
When Spring will be here
I know that I...
