When your world falls apart.
When closed love rips your heart.
When sorrow comes to stay.
When all hope looses way.
When your thoughts go awry.
When you wish you could die.
When confusion comes to play.
When brightness leaves each day.
When clutter wins the fight.
When order looses sight.
When disaster takes its place
When you want to stop the race.
When troubles overwhelm.
When no one is at the helm.
When anguish fills each thought.
When you lost what you sought.
When bizarre thoughts are said.
When theres rumbling in your head.
When you don't know what to do.
Do not tell your God adieu.
Call upon His name.
Continue in life's game.
When you wish that you were dead.
Remember what He said.
He died to save your soul.
Make eternity your goal.
Regroup; call on His love sublime.
Then, peace will fill your time.

Humanity seeks peace;
The truth of this concealed by a tight crease…
Communion with nature loosens the fold…
Relinquishes the impediments hold…
Observing our earth gives life’s elusive mystery…
All things working together produce harmonic history…
Faithful friendship fastened firmly fractures fears frenzy…
Fear is for love, what shoes are for gloves…
Similar is there cause, one effects evolution with a pause…
The cabals control under suspension…
We the people of earth, calling forth light vibration for ascension…
Leaving the big business warden in the dark…
Will initiate igniting their prison releasing divine spark…
If you desire experiencing real sovereignty, die while alive in your body…
No longer associate who you are with beliefs or possessions…
Reversing the ancient ego split resulting spiritual regression…
I love you so I may love myself…
I love myself so I may love you…
I give the whole a holistic love commitment with such strength…
Undoubtedly increasing our spiritual length…
Love is a compatable vibration
brings feeling you can't understand,
it cannot be taught in a classroom
or bought with a wedding band.
Love can last for a fleeting moment
or allow you a lifetime of joy,
and it doesn't discriminate between us
it applies to a girl or a boy.
Sex is a chemical reaction
from the body but not from the mind,
in society they call it making love
but that kind of love makes you blind.
Sex is only a part of love
if you're in love at the start,
for sex just relieves the body
but love satisfies the heart.
Some people go looking for love
like some kind of Holy Grail,
but love is a gift that comes to you
if you search for it you will fail.
"All you need is love"
Can love be my life when I'm dying for love?
Can it fed us when we are starving for food?
Can love quench one's thirsty throat?
"Diamonds are forever"
There's no space for that never-ending forever...
Eternal infinity?
Perpetual immortality?
"You are gold"
Can you be my unlimited wealth of hundred-fold?
Spending your very last
Making me rich and famous...do not last...
"I'm out of my league once again"
Consciously hallucinating
Laughing with my idiosyncrasies
Asking desperate queries...
**Beatles
**Shirley Bassey
**Spandau Ballet
**Stephen Speaks
Wise men in love sit back on their haunches,
Letting their hair curl, developing paunches.
They darest not act 'cause they've got rationale,
They state as their eyes flick from gal unto gal.
Philosophers study the love of some things
They say must be thought and not strummed on
heartstrings.
To ignore what's in front, they will gaze up above,
'Cause they know that a fool is the wisest in love.
Oh my lover, where art thee...
This morning you felt separate from me...
I miss your sweet love taste...
Come back to me post haste...
Just as the great life begins...
You decided to leave once again...
Why would you treat me this way...
Keeping your love far away...
I don't think I can live this today...
Once this is done I'm on my way...
Excuse me; you have been here all along...
How did I create such a wrong...
Thank you for the love bestowed to me...
It’s only my Insanity...
I greet this day with love from the start...
Neither space nor time can keep loving people apart...
I kiss your face, while I bless your heart...
Pass this love to another and help show the world,
Love is art...
Trust in you… My greatest love, keeps my heart true… The rhythmic motion from
your love ocean… Creates in my mind the good love notion… Stay far away from
false love potions… For you, your wish may come too… A love fresh, bright and
new… Taste not the dense dark mind stew… Look inside closely to see, she loves
you just like me… Behold the mother and the wife… Wanting unity for all of life…
What I am saying here, great mother holds all things dear… Drink from her cup to
eradicate fear… This is all we need to start the pure love year…
He was my vision of a good life.
I soon, became his new wife.
Celebrations were grand
Then, we did not demand.
Together we shared goals…hoped.
Disappointments came, we coped.
I gave all that she had.
Through the good and the bad.
At Christmas, I lavished him with gifts.
I could have written his book of festschrifts
Anything he wanted, I would try to buy.
I went all out, do or die!
Birthdays came, I was never remiss.
My joy was his happiness.
Material things for me, he did dismiss.
Instead, he gave me his sweetest kiss.
At first, I was only sad.
Later I became very mad!
Later, the economy failed,
Some of our dreams bailed.
But love was not lost.
Amid differences tossed.
Eventually, I began to learn
Even through disappointment’s burn.
Wisdom brought its hum.
Now, I am no Longer Numb.
Pure love is loveliest…
When selfishness is lowliest.
To give freely without expectation of return is bliss.
To give with dreams of reciprocation… dismiss.

Ah my love discovered you have
What lays in chambers deep.
You found there buried deep.
A treasure many would not keep.
In your curiosity you wondered,
And saw, it intrigued you so,
You thought this love is of simple statue
Yes my love, this love is simple indeed.
But do not underestimate its power
For love as this is a treasure indeed.
And with finding this, you must understand
That MY love not only simple
Its divine......
I can imagine : staring in the eyes of : Elizabeth Barret Browning
Seeing the " Glory of LOVE '; bring on the " Sorrow of LOVE "
The sweet outstanding " Black LOVE " of Edgar Allen POE
" Edna St. Vincent Millay " and I Believe in GOD'S Creation
To sit beside Carrie Richards; Watching POETRY Created
To Live , In the mind of the Teacher “ Carolyn Devonshire”
To Understand the Language , as the Great Master “ Dr. Ram Mehta “
To know ,FOREVER LOVE as the “ SweetHeart” ~ Linda-Marie ~
I have Forever Dreamed: of someday being a POET Laureate
How silly is my mind, when Emotions, have Died Long Ago
Words are Earthly : I can not understand their meaning, “PURPOSE”
If Only the HEART deep with-in the Soul : could write POETRY
“ I Could “
From deep observation I saw
In growing plants and bedding seeds
A strange manifest of nature's law
That leaves come 'fore a root proceeds
In animals a stem of cells
Upon which the brain comes to rest
Deep in the dark embryo dwells
And somewhere there the heart will rest
And since the top before bottom
Forms, like sky's mist before the earth
God higher yet let me fathom
His presence first and then my birth
Who, invisible adds, the mass
To the dividing dormant cell
Ere a suckling tongue brings the grass
Food till it grows o'er all the dell
There is a presence none may know
With measured work or finite sight
A vague meaning for each rainbow
A vast love transparent in light
Nature that shows God's absence here
To some, reveal his presence to me
And sometimes in the stillness clear
In shooting leaves, this love I see.
Good evening, children
Glad you made through the rain
I am not long here now
Just want to rearraange the house again
There is another seat at the table
He comes last
But he his the honored first
Yesterday tomorrow's die has cast
And so it shall be
This change is well intended
And yet not intentional
Let none by a brother be offended
Our plans are merely provisional
What are is what we became
From the foundation of the earth
The spark is not the flame
And the fire's essence and worth
Obedience is our only favor
To the will that charms us to surrender
Hear me then
And meet now Andrew
Another specimen
Of a greater love
The deep first planted
Where no tree forgets
And now I shall sleep
In the peace of this embrace
One last promise still to keep
One last mountain
For faith to take
For nothing in our life is a mistake
Except our blindness
Of its coming
And our weakness when its going
Children are life's castles of men desires
And love the steel that holds them plumb
My quiver was never full
The way I love them
My heart was never empty
The way I cared
Let me taste your lips again
And drink the rain
That balms the flood of all my pains.
true love is the hardest thing to find
but when you do
you can truly feel it
it flows within you
if fills you
it completes you like nothing else
so take my advies
when you find love
hold on to it
for the rest of your life
what is love
love is a 4 letter word
but no one knows the definition
why
why does no one know the definition
maybe because we decide what love is
we decide when we are in love
love is nothing but a undescribed feeling
we cant decide what love is until we feel it
that what love is
something you cant describe
love is a feeling
love can only be felt
