Look within your heart and,
You will realize the beauty,
You have always had.
Listen to your heart and soul,
Because that will tell you,
Every thing you need to know.
Ignore the background noise,
People who don't understand,
Will just say things, that don't matter.
With one look I feel you,
Are the heart in my soul.
Your eyes show me everything,
That your heart is not saying.
My heart only beats for you.
I reach for your hands,
Saying, Please don't go,
When I see the tears in your eyes,
As you take me in your arms,
Saying only one word, Home.
Who can remember the first time we felt the beat of our heart?
Was it when we first kissed or had it broken?
Possibly, it was when we were first told about the metaphorical love of the heart!
Maybe it was when we used it as appreciation for one’s token!
Whether it beats in the light or the rain!
The warmth goes on in the cold and shocks us to the core!
The hidden thoughts of the mind become our Bain!
It goes through to the soul as it moves quickly like an iron bore!
Gripping the heart and soul together is either blissful in a warm embrace
Or it is a cold vice hold on our emotions
Let the warmth of our enemies be to their face a wet mace!
Maybe we should curse our choices and devotions.
In my heart, you are the burning kindle upon my fire!
You are the one who set ablaze my smile and rekindled my desire!
Feeling your heart and soul
In their moment of death
It takes everything out of you
You can't even draw a breath
It feels like the world stopped
Yet your head's spinning still
You're suffocating in air
Your lungs refuse to fill
As the shock wears off
You drop to your knees
The pain hits all at once
As you are begging, please
Begging her not to go away
Begging God to stop the pain
Begging anyone who'll listen
Your misery you can't contain
You become a hollow shell
Forced to live dead inside
It will make you think every day
Of how you should commit suicide
You'll never be the same man
You were before you met her
There will always be this emptiness
Where your heart and soul were
There will never be a recovery
You'll never again be well
Each day of your life from then
Will be nothing but pure hell
"The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep." Rumi
Clouds like rippling waves
Cover the eastern horizon
A nice cool breeze chills the air
There the sound of dove's coos upon
A distance hill, rustles up deep emotions
That murder of crows are being warned
By their very intelligent lookout
He hears the sound of danger
Truck's tires crunch going on its route
The clouds become wider spread
Adding a tenebrous feel to the scene
Only a small bloodshot eye
Through the clouds is seen
Desiring to see a sunrise cast its beauty
Sweeping all around
There is one disappointment
But joy in the cooler air I've found
Thank you God for this morning
I love the time alone with You
I could spend so many more hours
Thinking, praying and singing too
"Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Those who love with their heart and soul, there is no such thing as separation." Rumi
Hear what soul mutter
Hear the wisdom of the heart
To guide us back home.
My heart and soul are yearning
for the rays of the sun to dance
upon the wildflowers in the meadow;
for the feel of warm, fresh tilled dirt
on bare feet as I place new seed
carefully in the cocoon of the earth.
My heart and soul are yearning
for the soft trilling of birds at daybreak,
and the mists of morning
watering the new day, then rising
to reveal the hills, the forest, the mountains
that cradle this valley I call home.
leap year day
one day longer
the wait for spring
My heart so loves you
My heart and soul you love so
As my heart and soul loves you
In the promises of your rainbow so beautiful blue
Beautiful the heart of you
~
My heart and soul soars true
My heart and soul forever for you
Your praise is Worthy your honor due
Everything I am is you
You are my foundation
~
You make me King in the nation
I am your blessed creation
My heart and soul loves you

My HEART AND SOUL SO QUIET
My heart and soul so quiet
In my mind so denying
Regulating mindsets reviewed
My soul is quiet and waits for God alone
In my mind so denying
My hope comes from Him
My soul is quiet and waits for God alone
In Him the Father I am loved and not alone
My hope comes from Him
Regulating mindsets reviewed
In Him the Father I am loved and not alone
My heart and soul so quiet

Forlorn, my treacherous heart has betrayed me.
Pricked my conscience and disobeyed my mind,
for it desired passion, and chose to set itself free,
seeking a love, it should've declined. Love is blind.
Feigning childhood innocence, it took control,
and its betrayal caused great weeping in my soul.
Since then, my life has been filled with gray skies.
My soul empathized with heart's burning flames.
Without my consent, they spawned a compromise...
forming a treasonous tryst, making intimate claims.
I was disturbed by the self-betrayal taking place,
and prayed for God to forgive me with His grace.
My soul longed for freedom to sing its spirit song.
My heart yearned for romance, plying me with deceit.
What could I do to show them both they were wrong?
To them, my voice had become droll and obsolete.
I will find a way to surmount the sabotage committed.
Guilty, I find them, but with hope of being acquitted.

When we met a chance encounter,
Unplanned fate or destiny?
I thought it was epic, something
Meant to be.
An unexpected good fortune,
How could I dismiss it?
I was swept away,
I hate to admit it.
It took my breath away,
What a surprise.
What I saw, was each
Other in our eyes.
I was struck by the wonder,
This was something real.
Now it's become my,
Achille's heel.
It was so rare and
Deeply intense.
I never thought our love
Would die and ferment.
I marveled at the encounter
And the uniqueness.
You're my poison,
My living weakness.
I knew it would never happen again,
This blessing I stumbled upon.
I never considered our love,
You would pull the plug-on.
I assumed it was the right place,
The right time.
I recognized the merging
Of the two, as sublime.
I remember that spontaneous moment,
When the world stood still.
Now, the after-taste of a
Dead love's bitter pill.
It was an experience beyond
My control.
I loved her with
All my heart and soul.

I am so alone human male with just one heart
I am alone but not alone yet I don't have a wife
I am aged elder but not alone
I have no one to call my own
A help mate help my heart beat
Not lost just alone at this present state
You see that I am alone yet not alone I still have Jesus
And yet a man that finds him a wife finds a good thing
And though I am not looking yet it's my heart soul spirit accomplishment
I wake my heart when it finds my good thing as I search I'll wait for you my darling

I love the way you look into my eyes,
As if you can see into my soul.
I love the way you kiss me as if you,
Can reach right into my heart,
Saving me from near death.
My life is a new given this,
Second chance to be with you.
I love the way you take me,
Into your arms making me feel safe.
But most of all I feel that I am finally home.
Here we have a mighty act
two powerful forces of power
equal in degrees of influence
always available at the decisive hour
When we hear a voice so sweet
with a melodic lilt, you're so drawn
this heart can sing with the best
grabs your attention from dusk to dawn
This concludes a soul has feet
to which it dances along the street
hardly touching the ground at all
but hoping a lover it will meet
What a match the heart and soul
both finely tuned in perfect unison
holding each other so together
pictures action whatever the weather
(Quote:
When the Heart Sings the Soul Dances - Anon.)
I love music
because I like to hear your
heart...
A soprano voice
it touches me... but not anymore
than your voice...
I don't read músic score
but I read your musical body...
I'm not a competent sage,
but I conceive how to decipher
the secrets of your soul...
I'm content like that, because I have you
and you are exactly what i need
to live a phenomenal life!
