It’s something even children seem to know:
When love is freely given, it will grow.
Though as adults we try hard to deny
Those subtle things we cannot classify.
It’s Wisdom passing down from age to age.
It’s spoken of by prophet, seer, and sage
The young will dream, the old will reminisce
But in the end no one can quite dismiss
The Truth that’s written in our very soul;
The empty space inside, that God-shaped hole.
Look deep inside and you will always find
A love that you can never leave behind.
It’s something everybody longs to feel.
Yes, even as we doubt that it is real.
But every now and then we recognize
That Love is always near, but in disguise.
Love and life, a miracle.
A truth that is empirical
Found deep down in every human heart
Faith and hope and joy and peace
And grace that God will never cease.
A constant light to shine through the dark!
When I met my true love it was bliss,
I thought my life and fate was perfect;
we had so many great future plans,
it was clear sailing to our true north.
I was pregnant and it was a baby boy,
and life was good- we were preparing;
then,, something felt wrong one morn',
at the hospital I delivered a dead baby.
Our life began to decay our love faded,
my love became distant and too quiet;
he left for work and later came a call
I was told he had crashed his car.
At the funeral I felt like I was stone,
and my life was over- I wanted death;
as days passed I found my strength,
and I found a new path forward alone.
Love is a luxury,
You need to have a lot,
Prepare a lot,
To truly guard it.
A little triviality in life,
It will slowly wear it away.
Until the last point,
There's no light left.
You see whether in life or at work,
The pace of two people is out of step
There's no way together permanently.
Market is cruel.
People are knives.
And you are a fish.
How would you survive,
In a pool full of sharks?
penned in my own hand
all I was, all that I am ~
lines of love and life
Life throws so many curves at you sometimes you don't know where to turn you don't know what to do it seems that you are climbing a mountain that seems to keep going.
Working your fingers to the bone just to have barely nothing at all the sacrifices you make daily are stretching you thin to the point where you are mentally drained.
There is nothing else to give there's only a crumb left of your sanity.
Love can bring joy it can smell of the fragrance of roses and a variety of flowers.
It can burn like fire it can rain down many blessings like a family you never expected to have but it can bring many trials and tribulations like frustration, Anxiety and many others things
But this is apart of what makes life what it is all we can do is go step by step.
Take it day by day in order to survive to be strengthened
Love and Life go hand in hand
I went to the forest.
I watched the sunset.
I talked about harmony
Everything about nature.
I took endless repetitions,
Of adjective lines and colors.
Think about the cycle of life,
Birth, death and a new life.
I'm looking the shadows of trees.
The floating of clouds in the sky,
Drawn the lines of leaves in my palm.
See butterfly lines like river bends,
See the rhythmic hurling of the waves,
A breath of lovers looking the horizon,
Love is the same law of nature.
It never change in the gravity of time,
I just observe, believe and just exist.
Love has no rhythm or rhyme.
It strikes anytime.
It is like lightning coming from the sky.
It hits a person straight out of line.
It can come from far away, or by just looking at a photograph.
It can come from someone close by.
It can be someone we would never pick.
It knows no age or time.
It only makes our heart beat quick.
It can make us have great excitement and give us a feeling of utopia.
Our love can give us many feelings that only true love can.
We can feel a lot from our love, and this is a perfect type of love.
If you find love like this, hold it near and dear for life.
Life is living more than a day
This includes love, joy, fun
Mistakes, sadness and education
I also see gentle side of life
When I feel like everything
Is falling apart, I don't forget
Everyday to give thanks to God
Giving thanks to people who give me love
Giving thanks is a privilege.
- ''Our strong ties are eternal,'
we are never loose...
pulsating rhythm of before and after,
happiness in total trust
perfect harmony and light
intense duet like Nirvana
"pleasure in maximum expression"
Don't be a bad person often
Stop watering dead plants
Respecting each other nonsense
You only appreciated when needed
To have foolish pride not wise
You can't stop the drain when it's raining
What is there to life when plant is uprooted
A fish is dead when it is not in water
Hope is gone when love no more
Be contented when there is none
Everything you see comes from nothing
Have faith for all things are possibly done.
Music moves your whole being
Today, my day is gray
I lost someone very special
Hearing sad songs is a recollection
To this love one who's dear to me
We once separated due to fragile emotion
We were young then when we're in love
She was young and beautiful and is tempting
A third party cause our separation
We had a daughter out of wedlock
But love is strong she was truth with marriage
I work abroad to forget my past sad love
Loneliness marries me late at 30's
Life was hard but still manageable
I had forget her till our teen age daughter
Appear to me by coincidence through Facebook
We met to tell me sad story the passing of her mother
There was a scar in my heart still linger her
For she was part of my life once tender and true
But fate is playful sometimes you can't avoid
I am at peace now, praying God to accept her soul
Through music is a healing tool for me
To go on the next chapter of my life
Whatever happens life must go on.
Love and life
Love
Love
Love and life
Love and life
Love, because I haven’t got it
Life, because I have it
Love
Graveyard and paradise
Love and life
Love and life
Love me or leave me
Love me
Own me
Own me
I need you
Graveyard and paradise
Love and life
Life and love
I want you
I need you
Love and life
I love you
Vilmos
In matters of love and life, I seek
A second opinion, a wiser peek,
Beyond the veneer of my hopeful heart,
To find solace in truth, not just in part.
For love is a tempest, wild and fierce,
Yet tender moments can quell the pierce,
And life, a symphony of joy and pain,
Where harmony hides within the strain.
So let me pause, and contemplate,
Seek wisdom's counsel, before it's too late,
In shadows of doubt, may clarity rise,
Unveiling the secrets, hidden in guise.
For with a second opinion, a fresh perspective,
Love and life's tapestry,
we are better connected, with a second opinion.
Many spirits dance in masks,
who is who none ever asks,
songs of sadness, dances of joy,
dances of love and life and other ploys,
but now and then the masks come off,
on justice scale we must all off,
weigh in balance the love and life,
and count and measure, learn from strife,
take the lessons, wisdom be,
knowledge, enough is free,
love is freedom,
freedom is courage,
courage is love
and all lifes porridge,
learning from ourselves and eachother,
every combination of,
father, sister, mother, brother,
all this learning has one goal,
free loving, living and learning for all,
love does not fall,
loving and living soars,
and learnings are its wings,
life has meaning, we feel these things,
so find the good in yourself,
and nothing more than share this wealth.
In realm of love when passions stirred
Song of romance fervent hearts heard
In tenor we knew, rhythms that woo,
Strummed by music our desires spurred.
Oh! how that realm blooms love so true
As tunes of warmth birds sing for you,
From woods that sway as soft winds blow
When moon scripts clues on skyline blue;
Of dreamy night that gleamed with glow,
Of stars that waltzed to stage our show,
When we vowed beneath lambent skies,
Sprouts of love~~ shall forever grow;
While glance of joy thrills cheery eyes
Where love-flame kindles, never dies,
And dreams cherished, long to revive,
Nights we rejoice, snug in love's prize.
On life’s hurdled streets where we drive
From wheels of hope strength we derive
While we climb steep high ways of life,
Hand in hand, we steer fate and thrive.
