the first time i felt it
was not a word but a hush
between leaves and the bluest sky—
a breath of you
inside the trembling air
(oh how small i was
with the world rushing by
and softer than reason)
your hand—
or was it light itself—
touched my chest
and opened a door
where no walls had ever been
the first time i felt it
i learned silence could sing
and forever could fit
in a single heartbeat.
One Love
One Love is all you need...
To see the vast world of hope in the wide foggy world
One Love is all you need.....
To let your guards down to feel the cold and warm of love
One Love is all you need......
To let the breeze penetrate you into your soul into your mind to let you feel the love
ONE LOVE......
ONE LOVE IT TAKES
TO SEE THE WHOLE SKY
FROM YOUR EYES TO ME....
One love, one life, one God, and one story for each of us.
Love we each make our choices, who to love and who to leave.
Some loves just don’t meet our needs.
Some loves just can’t see, all that we need.
Some are perfect, but are unavailable, because they are already in a relationship.
Having one love, to hold and love is the ultimate feeling anyone can have.
So, hold out for that one love, the one that has your heart and mind in the top of their mind.
The love that is kind and loves you all the time, that puts a smile on your face, just by thinking about all the moments you have and will create in time.
Love can make us all feel so amazing that it makes our life feel incredible.
Love is the truth and the way; it is like how God made us for loving each other in one love kind of scene.
Like the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had each other till someone come between.
So, hold out for your one love, and pray that we all find our one love.
Lifting prayers and thoughts for love, that’s one of a kind.
As I look deep in my heart I see you
As I see in my future I dream you
you have my heart my love my soul
I hope to never lose you
you are the reason my heart beats
The reason I wake up
you are my life my wife
The future mother of my children
you are all I dream about
you are my happiness
Two days until Christmas.
Two hours until light.
Too often you fill up
my dreams in the night.
Too tired to keep going.
Too weak to move on.
Two lovers divided…
in one love gone all wrong.
Only One
Our time together is
Not very
Long
Yet I feel we are
One in spirit with each other, a
New week, a chance to spend
Each moment with you even if at a distance
Only One Love
Only a love
Just yours
All my life (was)
Death gets on
Loved a soul
A lover cruel
Hard love her
So hard to love her
She, she, she
For me, me, me
Dance’s love
Platonic love of mind
Dance with me
Holographic this love
Life is just in the mind’s time
Vision of a will’s desire
Come a life into a pulsar star
Falling dead asteroid in the sky
Comes to your soul’s planet
Collision with your space…
Fire, just a passing fire in my life
Just passing in your atmospherical life
Fire, fire, down, down, end, end…
It turned into an explosion in the sky
Flash ash rain…, sun gone…
My life has turned to dead ashes…
Goodbye love of life
Bye-bye life and love
No life
Only a love
If I Could Have One Love
If I could have one love, just one,
To shine as bright as summer sun,
I'd choose a love so pure and true,
A quiet light in skies of blue.
Not one of passion's fleeting fire,
But one that calms each wild desire.
A love that whispers through the years,
And wipes away my secret tears.
If I could have one love to stay,
I'd wish it soft, like break of day,
To fill my heart with gentle grace,
And linger on in each embrace.
Not one of words, but silence deep,
To hold me even when I sleep.
A love like stars in velvet night,
Forever near, yet out of sight.
If I could have one love, just one,
I'd wish for peace when day is done.

One Love
With the passage of time
One love follows after another
- the nouns of our existence
people, places and things
we place our hopes on -
Changing like the seasons
In cycles of growth and decay.
But one love remains constant
Timeless simply by its presence out of time
Ever changeless and unconditioned
Even if unacknowledged
Neglected or denied
A root love
That knows no bounds.
With the seasons we cycle
Around and around
Growing and decaying,
Recalling and forgetting
What it is that holds us
In its orbit
In its love.

One Love
By Rebecca Dominique Morris
What’s the difference between you and me
Why can’t we be who we were meant to be
Is it because your black and I’m white?
Because your complexions darker and mine is light?
Do we not all bleed the same blood?
Why is my race a barrier and something that can’t be understood?
Just because we were born of different origin
Doesn’t mean you should judge me because of the colour of my skin
Our differences shouldn’t define what our souls feel
Is what we feel not real ?are we not both human and do our hearts not beat the same way?
Do we not live in the same world where the sun rises and falls each day ? Is it not the same god to who we pray?
Why aren’t our minds and body allowed to connect
Why is that something that we have to forget
That people tell us they cannot accept and therefore we should regret
Was love not created to unite
Denial of a basic human right
So why allow it to be defined
As despite my complexion , we are all gods creation and one mankind
there's work to be done
we all have won
if we just understand
we are all under one man
together we can plan
make change
stop the racist insane
let it shower from above
we're under him hwe fight all of them
its
ONE GOD ONE LOVE
Song by Benny Berry
When this true love is within, we can have a love for all,
But many things are out to pull it away and destroy
But one shall remember this is the love that gives life
The one Love
That keeps me alive
It flew down as a dove
A new creation to thrive
I seeked all over this earth
For love that would fill this heart
And found I was in need of rebirth
A fire set ablaze from a spark
This new wind causing change
Blowing out the old way
Oh the beauty of this new range
Guiding me not to rock and sway
In this poem I wrote for fun
But this is where I found true love
Receiving strength like a plant from the sun
From the source coming from above
Giving new mind and desire
Oh how I must run and tell all
Of the spirit within of fire
I want all to fly and not fall
Leaves me in awe of how I did reject
This love within giving a new breath
With my own path to surely wreck
Walking around unknown in death
Finally being able to find rest
Unto my soul this new found peace
One might say this is the best
No longer in chains but a new release
One love nothing
Ever better for the heart
From the start commit
A classroom of wonders of earth and space
Eons ago a few hundred, the human race
Mankind comes out of African Savannas of gold
One color, one people, a tale to unfold
And perhaps guided by one love
The fertile land below the sky above
Quakes have not yet parted lands
Nor do the people yet part in bands
Souls in abundance, with patience await
To be born and make happen their fate
We wonderful humans now evolve
Spirits entering bodies, their resolve
It must have been heavenly at first
Enjoying, nature’s glory, fully immersed
Love and trust and little to fear
So far from despair and to Eden so near
