Best Song Together Poems
v.1 Now time and time again love has come and gone
It always leaves and never stays too long
And time and time again I've had to mend this broken heart
And then I don't know where to start, and I'm alone again
But time will heal all wounds, that's what they say
And loneliness will find it's way
Of makin life much more than I could ever bear
And I need someone to share my life with
And there you were and here we are...
(chorus)
Right here, this is where we belong, tell me it's not wrong
I know that we were somehow meant to be
And here this is where it starts, beginning in the heart
You reached in and ya pulled me from the dark
And now here this is where we belong, and I know it's not wrong...
We'll always be this way
v.2 Now time and time again I try to be
On my own, so young and free
But then i find that there's some hidden memory
Of the loneliness in me, and I feel the tears
Well now time has said it's peace to me
It showed me things that I could never see
And this time I know that love is what I feel
And I know that it's real, cause I love you
There's room for two in this heart...(chorus)
(after 2nd chorus)
I know...I know where we belong
There's a place for us in the heart, where we belong...we belong
SONG
music
many beats
passion with feelings
memories remembered
waiting to be together
"My mind will keep our song playing."
I hear them singing, just believe~just believe. Angels of all sizes were singing their hearts out, the heavenly choir with words they did weave.
The beautiful music and singing, just believe~just believe. It is heard loud and very clear, welcoming~comforting the angels did achieve.
As we stand at the pearly gates we hear, just believe~just believe. We wait our turn to be happy and not grieve, do we get in or must we leave.

They were seventeen,
barely out of high school.
Yet they shared a love that was as
ancient as the sky
This king and his queen,
to be kept apart by no mans rule,
made plans to meet and marry nearby
------
"I will come to you, my Love"
is what she said to him,
"and you must promise you'll wait until I do"
"Meet me at the gate, my Love
and if you'll take my hand,
heaven will be next for me and you"
-----
He went to the East,
leaving her to worry.
When his tour was done, he was sent home
a broken man
She could find no peace
until she got word he was to come
by chartered plane back from Iran
-----
"I can hardly wait, my Love,
to look into your eyes first hand.
Until you're home safe, I won't believe it's true""
"Meet me at the gate, my Love,
and just as we have always planned,
heaven will be next for me and you"
-----
While she waited there,
She heard the announcement.
There had been a storm, his plane had gone
into the bay
She fell in despair,
whisp'ring as her light was slowly spent.
These are the last words she would say:
-----
"I can't let you go,
I am coming too.
Meet me at the gate...
Heaven will be next for me and you"
I'd like to meet you now.
Before you get much older.
I'd like to meet you now.
Before you walk away..
I'll whisper in your ear.
I'll whisper a sweet story.
I'll whisper in your ear.
I'll whisper a sweet song.
I'll hold you in my arms.
Forever and forever.
I'll hold you in my arms.
And pass the time away..
I'll take you to my house.
I'll take you to my bedroom.
I'll take you to my house.
And hold you next to me..
I'll touch you on the lips.
Then I'll kiss you softly.
I'll hold you in my arms.
Until the morning comes.
And when you leave my house.
I know that I will wonder.
Wonder if your love.
Will come back to me..
That's why!
I'd like to meet you now.
Before you get much older.
I'd like to meet you now.
Before you walk away..

We stand here,
Bruised and beaten,
From battles lost,
And battles past,
From the tidal waves of history,
That swept us,
Taking away more than we can give,
Leaving us with less than nothing.
Yet we are alive,
And living,
Hearts pulsing in rhythm,
Catching our breaths, yet breathing,
Marching legs shaking,
Yet grounded in this land we call home.
Tired, yet not spent,
Torn, yet not shattered,
Bent, yet not broken,
Our voices –
Silenced for long,
Yet not muted.
We are haunted,
By echoes of history,
Ghosts of heartbreak,
Residues of tears,
Jitters from the cold, long night.
All it takes is someone’s whisper,
A slight humming,
A hesitant whistle,
Or perhaps the softest of prayer,
From someone’s final bit of strength.
Breaks out into a collective song,
Imperfect, yet infinite,
Fleeting, yet universal,
Each one’s, yet also truly ours.
This song, echoes histories,
Our history,
Which broke us apart,
But now brings us together.
We cry, but out of hope,
Our voices break, but out of passion,
We raise our fists, but out of resilience,
We wave our flags, but out of triumph,
Our scars hurt, but out of love.
The echoes of history,
Are never gone,
Always bouncing amongst mountains and walls,
Both barriers and strongholds.
Yet these echoes of history,
Now make us who we are,
Threads woven into our being,
Life that ricochets in our blood,
Wisdom in our minds to live by,
Verses that echo in the songs of our hearts.

For some Christmas spirit will be grand, many gifts under the tree's bright lights. The smell of fresh baked cookies filling the air, the hot oven warming my cold body.
Christmas spirit and singing carolers, music with song filling the night air. Walking down the snow covered streets, giving smiles to all we meet.
For some Christmas spirit will not be grand, working hard but short on cash. This year gifts will need to wait, only food is on the shopping list.
I can only dream about Christmas spirit, the year when it will all be very special. When everyone can experience, the grand Christmas spirit in every home.

You chose seventeenth day
Out of other teens
A princess 24 hours ago
You have turned a Queen
Invincible is your beauty
Revealed to a lucky man
He has located the favour of God
For he found a good wife
You!
You are the crown bride of today
Other brides of today concur
You are covered, divinely
Tell me, who did that make-up
On your face, it's out of this world
Your wedding gown?
Classic in dignity
So, enjoy this your new life
Seeing your children surrounding your table
Go on an endless ride with love
You have said a good bye to era of being single
Two now but one
May you from now on, continue to celebrate
Happy married life to you dear sister
Pardon my absence, physically
Quite unavoidable
Your understanding is just a plus to your man!
Noblesman
Beauty rivals hummingbirds in flight
I’ll say that I’m not
But I think that I might
No, I know that I am
As the beats quicken
I know that I’m smitten
As the sweat drips from my palms
Lips move closer
Heaven in two seconds
A lifetime more when I catch your eyes
The beauty they speak tell no lies
Of feeling materialization
Hearts beating familiar sensations
But not, A mind drifts
From endless useless thoughts
New train of thinking
Few understand the realistic mind
Thinking, line of sight mingling
Physical interest tingling
Wishing for intellectual duets
Singing, souls together dreaming
Bodies together flying
Love apart stronger dying
I pray for her love
Needing is my princess dove
Soft lingering touch
If life gave us the power to wish
I’d want your lips to kiss
I’d ask for your warmth to miss
And the tears that fall
The nights when all I hear is
Nothing when your name I call
They wait their turn,
Watching from the sidelines.
Cheerfully chattering, they speak,
Perhaps of weather.
Then suddenly they’re off!
Swooping down, they glide,
Wings extended in crucifix,
They brake. Alighting softly
Onto the pavement.
Here there are seeds scattered.
Tossed each day by a frail hand
From the porch above.
There is a bond here. An understanding.
Food for song.
Cheaper than cable TV,
At times more entertaining.
They finish now. They’ve had their fill.
They launch together,
Land together,
Watch and wait together,
From the bushes at the side
Of the pavement below the porch.
Tomorrow the hand will come again
To pay them for their song.
Like a medieval
Of local forest woods
In raining dripping days
Melted by sunshine rays
In Sunny shinny phases
My wooden reading table
Has sailed through ages
My gray grandpa gave it his
My papa saved it me
My wooden reading table
Will yet another phase

For we are the slayers
Hear our cry:
We stand against evil with selfless intent
We are strong, we are bold
We are proud, we are free
We move as one in the void of night.
We fight together with hands of Earth
We love forever with hearts of fire
We dance together with spirits of water
We learn forever with minds of air.
We stand against darkness with passion and faith
We are brave, we are good
We are stalwart and true
We shall never break,
But shall bend
As a willow in the wind.
For we are the slayers
May the forces of Hell cower and fear
For we are the slayers
Working in darkness,
Protecting the light.
We shall never surrender the fight.
The melody we thought forever plays
~ now haunts us both night and day
I sing my song in celebration,
I sing my song for those who care.
The words resound through every nation,
I sing it loud so all may hear.
I sing for countless generations
Who've lived in ignorance and fear.
The words are plain, need no translation,
The theme is peace, the message clear.
One voice in song o'er all the others
May still be heard above the din.
Are we not all sisters and brothers,
Our roots the family of Man?
I sing of hope for our salvation,
My words, though weak, I pray they can
Reach out and teach that toleration
And peace on Earth's a better plan.
An inspiring and uplifting song. May we each find our true tribe mates. And may we each find our wings... And fly!
Let's show our wings and fly together

There you are, sitting in one corner
Making a wallflower look sociable
Here I am, sitting in another corner
Looking around, wondering why I'm here
I catch your eye, and despite the sadness
There's a twinge of gladness
There's a relief that you're not alone
Yes, you're not alone in this moment
And between us, there is chemistry
And between us, there is energy
And between us, the light flows
And between us, the light grows
So, take my hand and let's get out of here
Let's show our wings and fly together
Smile and laugh and play up in the sky
Way up high between the stars
Is where we are
Together
Here we are now, sitting on a cloud
We can share our life stories and be proud
'Cos we made it through every day
Without a wing or a prayer, sometimes
Sometimes...
And yet we persevered
We had hope, we were brave
Throughout this long journey - life's journey
And between us, there is chemistry
And between us, there is energy
And between us, the light flows
And between us, the light grows
So, take my hand and let's live up here
Let's show our wings and fly together
Smile and laugh and play up in the sky
Way up high between the stars
Is where we are
Together
No more sitting in dark corners
No more hurt and betrayal as normal
No more sadness, loss of faith
Let's shine our brightness for the human race
And between us, there is chemistry
And between us, there is energy
And between us, the light flows
And between us, the light grows
So, take my hand and let's live up here
Let's show our wings and fly together
Smile and laugh and play up in the sky
Way up high between the stars
Is where we are
Together
