Poems of Beauty

[botulism]

My mother,I love you and I need you ,even though
I love you and I need you ,even though!
I may at times have made you tear your hair
I set myself apart,but even so
your presence and your love are always there.
you are my jail cell and ten-ton door.
that keeps me from just being who I am.
and so I pound the walls and go to war
Ramming all the rules that I can ram.
yet though I must rebel,all the while
I know your love s the ground on which I stand.
I wait upon the flash of your pround smile,my mother
and twist inside at every reprimand.
I m sorry for the times I ve caused you pain;
after these brief storms,love will remain.

When you confine, I'm free.
If you rebuke, I'm honored.
Your dividing blade is love.
Your moaning, song.

Never too many fish in a swift creek,
never too much water for fish to live in.
No place is too small for lovers,
nor can lovers see too much of the world

 

[botulism]

Life can be such a wondrous thing,
Filled with flowers that bloom,
And birds that do sing;
A summer day, an evening breeze,
And oh how the wind does so rustle the trees...
If you relax for a moment,
And let go of the stress
I'm am certain you'll find
That we truly are blessed!
So, give thanks to the Lord
For the seasons and and tides,
For nature's sweet gifts,
And for all He provides!

FOUR Seasons fill the measure of the year;
There are four seasons in the mind of man:
He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear
Takes in all beauty with an easy span:
He has his Summer, when luxuriously
Spring’s honey’d cud of youthful thought he loves
To ruminate, and by such dreaming high
Is nearest unto heaven: quiet coves
His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings
He furleth close; contented so to look
On mists in idleness—to let fair things
Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook.
He has his Winter too of pale misfeature,
Or else he would forego his mortal nature.

Today I saw a butterfly,
as it floated in the air;
Its wings were spread in splendor,
Unaware that I was there. It was such a thing of beauty,
It was a sight to see;
It was the perfect masterpiece,
Full of grace and majesty.
I found myself thinking,
to what can this compare?
And then, of course, I thought of you,
And I wished that you were there.
God sure was extra careful,
When He formed and fashioned you;
You too, became a masterpiece,
Yet God is still not through.
He's daily making changes,
that other folks can't see;
You're already true perfection,
At least you are to me.

If I were a memory I’d hold you there forever
Reminding you of the good times we shared together

If I were a smile on your face I would stay
Never to let sadness chase me too far away

If I were a teardrop I’d roll gently down from your eyes
Not to burn much but to mend your sweet cries

If I were a hand I’d want you to hold me in your own
Carry me through life .. even when I’m grown

If I were feet I would stay inline with you
So I could be with you in all that you do

If I were a shadow I would always follow
We’d face things together in all the tomorrows

If I were pain I’d stay far away from the start
To make sure you never felt me or I never broke your heart

If I were a song I’d be a sweet sound to your ear
To keep up your hopes and carry you thru the years

If I were strength I’d give you my all
I’d hold you high and never let your fall

If I were your heart I’d be steady and true
I’d be there in every beat; staying strong for you

If I were the sun I’d shine down upon your face
Illuminate your smile and radiate through your grace

If I were a star I’d sparkle like your eyes
I would look upon your life and never stop my shine

I don’t know how good at those things I could be
I’m not any of them but this I want you to see

If I were a friend I couldn’t let you down
I’d never let you fall or walk away from me with a frown

If I were a friend I would hold your hand
I would be with you always, I hope you understand

If I were a friend I would give you my all
And though it’s not much, I’ll be there when you call

If I were a friend I’d be in every memory too
When you laughed, when you cried, I’d be with you

I CAN be these things, it’s not impossible to be a friend
I CAN be your best and I’ll be here till the end

If I were forever, you would be too
Together forever – ME and YOU...





Great Friends are part of memories time can
never erase! When Life is blessed with Good
Friends, more pleasant memories are there to
look back to...

 

[English Lord]

Life is Beauty

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is bliss, taste it.

Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is sorrow, overcome it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it.

Life is a tragedy, confront it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is luck, make it.

Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is life, fight for it.​

Thou hast made me , and shall thy work decay?
Repair me now , for now mine end dothe haste
I run to death , and death meets me fast
And all my pleasures are like yesterday
I dare not move my deem eyes any way
Despair behind , and death before doth cast
Such terror , and my feeble flesh dothe waste
By sin in it , which it towards hell doth weigh
Onlt thou art above , and when towards thee
By thy leave I can look , I rise again
But our old subtle foe so temteth me
That not one hour myself I can sustain
Thy grace may wing me to prevent his art
And thou like adamant draw mine iron heart

John Donne

SAVE YOUR LOVE​

Save your love my darling, save your love
For summer nights with moon and stars above
A serenade I long to sing you
The reddest rose I'll always bring you
Save your love for Roma and for me

Darling I will love you endlessly
Even though you're far away from me
I can't forget the words I told you
How it felt to love and hold you
Love like ours will last eternally

Save your love my darling, save your love
For summer nights with moon and stars above
A serenade I long to sing you
The reddest rose I'll always bring you
Save your love for Roma and for me

Even though it's been so very long
The memory of our love still lingers on
I can't wait to hold and kiss you
Don't you know how much I miss you
Darling sing for me our lovers song

Save your love my darlingşsave your love
For summer nights with moon and stars above
A serenade I long to sing you

A serenade I long to sing you
The reddest rose I always bring you
Save your love for Roma and for me​

With you I feel so very fine.
Babe, believe me—love's no crime.
How I wish you could be mine.
I want to be your Valentine.
Darling, our love is simply divine.
Let's go somewhere nice to dine.
Would you come over for a glass of wine?
You are my little porcupine.
I hope to see you again some time.
When I saw you for the very first time ...
Oh, how I longed to make you mine.
I fell in love 'cause you looked so fine







.

 

[English Lord]

I love you more than words can say.

I love you more and more each day.

I think of you each night and day.

Before I met you, my days were gray.

Baby, quick kiss me and tell me you'll stay.

If you go out with me, I'll pay.

Oh Darling, please don't go away.

Our love will never fade away.

With you by my side I can't go astray.

I'd like to kiss you, if I may

....

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.​

You are the sunshine of my life.

I wish we could be husband and wife.

I have been waiting for you all my life.

In the sea of love with you I would dive.

Come over to my place after five.

Without your love I can't survive

I want children with you, but not more than five.

You make me feel so much alive.

To get to you, a thousand miles I would drive.

I want you, dead or alive



...​

 

[English Lord]

...​

Your eyes they are like stars so bright.

You keep me awake at night.

Let's go to the cinema / a restaurant tonight.

You are sweet and funny and always right.

You are my beacon in the dark of the night.

I'm thinking of you day and night.

Please come closer, I won't bite.

We could sit together by candle light.

Kiss me quick and hold me tight.

I want to be your Jedi Knight.

I'm Amidala and you're my Jedi Knight

You are the cutest one of all.

If I had your number, every day I would call.

Your love hit me like a cannon ball.

I can't think of anything else at all.

I'm desperately waiting for your call

I'll surely love you until fall.

When we talk, I can tell you all.

Open your heart, you can tell me all.

Don't keep me waiting until fall.

[Lucky Guy]

Did I ever ever told you
That I miss you every night
And I cannot find my sleep, girl
If I cannot hold you tight
Did I tell you when you left me
There's no sun up in the sky
And I cried so many times girl
Oh just Like a broken toy
Oh I cannot stand the pain girl
It was over, I can see
And now you told me lady, there's a chance for you and me​

Just close your eyes - And stay with me
There is a place - where I wanna be with you
Just close your eyes - take me in your heart
I will love you pretty baby, if you try a start​

Did I ever ever told you
That I dreamt of you last night
Is there anything I can do
'Cause I wanna hold you tight
Did I tell you I was dying
When you turned away from me
Took away my sweet sweet heaven
And I lost my destiny
Oh I cannot stand the pain girl
It is over, I can see
And now you tell me baby, there's a second chance for me​

Just close your eyes - And stay with me
There is a place - where I wanna be with you
Just close your eyes - take me in your heart
I will love you pretty baby, if you try a start​

So Beautiful!​

...​

I really have a crush on you.

I have a major crush on you.

I can't resist your charmes—it's true.

For a long time I've been watching you.

For so long I've been wanting you.

I'm head over heals in love with you.

Tell me quick,Do you love me too?

I'm totally crazy about you.

If you were in love with me, too ...

If you said, I love you, too; ...

I'd kiss you till our lips are blue.

I'd jump for joy like a kangaroo.
