Premium Member - A Bird Sings Only When It Is Happy -

A white dove flies gracefully across vision
Shines as transparent pieces of ivory joy

I give you a Candle of Love, for inspire and encourage you
Blown gently upon a soft warm lovely breeze 

Falling slowly like a ripe apple 
With sad confusion, I promise you heaven

Everything will fall into place and gives you, perfect pleasure of life
Love...

Only when

Our destinies' paths did cross, my love

The meaning of life became to me

Apparent!

If Only Or Only When
As I was walking I came upon a broken and sad little man  
 He was bent over and crying with his head in his hands

I kneeled down on the ground so he could see my face
And asked him sir, “How have you come to this place?” 

He lifted his head and with crooked...

Only When the Cuckoo Sings
The bursting blossom of a pear tree twist and swirl with a lavishing beauty,
Promising plenty of fruit along each smooth branch and bough delivering all,
Rosebushes red buds burst into leaves with fresh dew dripping on grass,
A shy foxglove shakes in soft breeze hides her sweet face behind new leaves.

The taccamahac a name to deal with,...

Only When We Dance
you place your gentle hand
in mine and we dance the
night away,
the dance is our words
our passion,
as he places his hand 
on my back you embrace
yourself in his arms and
we dance to the beat of
our heart's,
everytime our eye's 
meet our heart's will
burn for each other's
embrace and touch,
as we sway to our love
will carry on,
only when 
we...

Only When I'M With You
only when I'm with you  

  
You ask me how much i love you
I tell you more than you will ever know.
we're laying there under the sunset
thinking about our lives together.
we look up at the sky ,and we say aw what perfect weather.

I'm laying in your arms 
as you are holding me tight
you...

Only When the Hope Dies
Only When The Hope Dies

"Love! Isn't it beyond win and lose? Isn't it giving and unconditional? Winning over someone and desire are too materialistic words to define its divinity. It is sublime and humble.
It attains it's purist and truest nature only when the Hope dies, he replied her."

Only When God Is Walking Down My Path
I may look very naive and vulnerable,
hiding the pangs of my distress so well,
looking normal and walking too brisk...
only when God is walking down my path.


I seem to look away and shun the troubles,
but inside I am hurting like anybody else,
who dreams of a coming universal peace...
only when God is walking down my path. 


I...

Only When I See You
Only when I see you
Never in my life did I think I'd find God’s most beautiful creation
I had never forgotten so quickly that hate is just a piece of imagination
It's only when I see you my heart becomes a roller coaster It's only when I see you I feel my feet get colder
Love is a...

Only When the Sand Is Filtered Out Can the Gold Be Found
Don't say that slander is as dangerous as a deep torrent
And people who’re banished sink forever like sediment. 
Although with painstaking filtration the panning is bound, 
Only when the sand is filtered out, can the gold be found.

Only When
Only when,
the devoid of everything has value
when the complexity
is dissolved in wisdom,
love will win and will be;
the truth and the cure!...
