There is a Magnet Pulling Time
by Frank Daub
There is a Magnet pulling years as I go along
My Time.
The pulling out of sadness
And of JOY –
The quick arise of everything I thought was mine --
The Magnet calls and pulls
And notebooks in the Divine
of memories.
I wonder where that album is that holds my life,
And living photographs of Loved Ones too.
All lifted into pages that are bright.
It is only the brightness that I can see.
The Magnet Lives
in an eternity of Love.
again
alleviated as always
I am rearing her
my talon from a griffin

She saw everything in shades of black
Nothing seemed to touch her bitter heart
A dark cloud followed above her head
She wouldn’t or couldn’t crack a smile
Permanent shadows overtook her mind
Her so-called friends avoided her
She envied everyone’s good fortune
Bad luck and misfortune were on her tail
She let on that she couldn’t understand
But we all recognized a magnet’s power

If the body is wracked with anger
love cannot exist
The urge to blame some others
such emotion ,please desist
It's now time to change the pattern
of internal pain that's felt
Self love needs integration
feel the anger melt
With the effort that's expended
to really make amends
The soul is then a magnet
to attract so many friends
Imagine all the world
if we eradicated anger
To live in love and peace
no longer faced with danger
Feminine wiles have no effect.
This grumpy old man will not budge.
Attracts misery like a magnet.

My life feels like an undetached magnet.
I do run, yet I recoil and reset.
It's like addiction with no use of drugs,
Or a trap made by the users' warm hugs.
My dear Owner! Release me from this cage.
For I am sealed inside my own bondage.
Deliver me! Lift me up from this place
Of squalid magnets that do not efface.
I am a magnet
Love attracts everything love
I am love my love
I hear the sound of clanging and banging from a distant source
Like an orchestra of metal pots that have fallen on the kitchen floor
which brings a ringing to my inner ear
then a low vibration comes as I stand still
This frequency happens frequently
transmitting a language I've yet to unveil
Creating a magnetic peace during its stay
One day I hope to understand the meaning behind it all
A tale probably woven over a thousand years
I hear the sound and listen in
The tone goes away just as mysterious as it came
His love incarcerates her heart
Like a prisoner captive in shackles
Inescapable
All consuming,
Overwhelming
Like a magnet to its metal.
Music is a marvellous magnet
that pulls you towards your target
A lot music the world it had
Happy, joyful, emotional and sad
Half were vanished
while half were banished
the remaining half survive here
so be happy and sing without fear
Up, up you fly
and reach the sky
don’t worry about others
but thank your mother and father
Now they'll teach you
to learn words this way
Music is a marvellous magnet
that helps you to learn words as a simple play
It’s palpable wherever I go…I can feel it as I view it…
how love and happiness form a magnet…attracting more love and happiness to it.
And the wonder of this magnet is how the two forces interplay…
how, while it attracts more love and happiness, it pushes hate away.
I find the more I choose love and happiness…the more I begin to see
how more love and happiness finds their way to me.
And I find the more love and happiness I’m trying to create
keeps me pretty busy and I don’t have time to hate.
That’s not to say choosing love and happiness is always easy.
It can be difficult finding time to love and dance and sing….
but I do my best to keep them in my life…
and let the magnet do it’s thing.
A button a magnet
Oh how connected i am to you
Like a down of a thistle
A button, maybe two.
A world full of wonderful things to do,
I found one like you.
A button a magnet
A few night to spare
Seeing you makes me flar
A world full of funny things in the air
A button a magnet
I just happen to love you.
Whiten the gods above,
Holds all my love.
A button a magnet
It's guaranteed to happen.
The pattern along the way.
A button, maybe three!
Sitting in a tree,
Seeing you so happy.
A button, a magnet.
Oh how Its a bad habit,
But for how I love you.
I'm so attracted.
A button a magnet
Within this plant
It's just for granted.
A world full of wonderful things to do that will happen.
A button a magnet
Oh how connected i am to you
All the things, just about you.
Oh a button, a magnet
Oh, a button , a magnet.
Oh how much I am in love with you.

The little cottage
Built by my beloved father
Is old and small
But loves begins here
And never ends
It carries on years after years
Wherever you go
You won't forget
It's like a magnet
It's like the force of gravity
It links to your mind and your soul
Buried deep in your memory
Even after it's vanished in a big fire
Even after its builder passed away
A long time ago
Love and memory do exist
Whenever a soul remains
