animal, flower, nature, spring,
I see pretty flowers
in gardens and bowers
Vivid gold daffodils
line the banks of deep rills
Fledgling chicks spread their wings
listen as songbirds sings
Little lambs play in fields
I love all that spring yields
Theme 2 nature inspired

beauty, color, joy, love,
What if there were purples, and blues, and greens?
What if your daughter loved a pink, though she a tangerine?
What colors are more capable of awe and inspiration?
What greatness does life hold without exaggeration?
What courage can be shown without mixing up some colors?
What knowledge can we bestow without first understanding others?

beautiful, beauty, flower, love, romantic, rose, sunshine,
Rose petals blossoming out from the heart softly silk
starbursts brightly sitting a regal flower kissed
By loving sunshine sweet glowing beauty dances
your delicate curling petals so beautiful
Like a butterfly's wings fluttering eyelids mist
engaged upon a glance sweet fragrance whispered dew
Embalmed by the perfume of such treasure found gift
it is here that an arrow of gold strikes home dear
sweet velvet corolla crumples fragile breathless

art, best friend, crush,
I see your face
Such a sweet embrace
Every part of you
Burned in my brain
If it’s not love why hasn’t it faded away
Every piece of you takes My breath away
Such a perfect man , with the sweetest face
And god put you in My way,
to brighten my world , to put a smile on my face
I’ve loved you close , I’ve loved you far away
I loved you when I was young but that was yesterday
I needed to grow to be the best of me
Now that time has past your even more perfect for me
So with my return I hope you will see
I waited until you got the very best of me

love,
Her face so sweet he cried.
Innocent and naïve.
Her trust for him caused pride.
With him she’ll never leave.

i love you,
The night was cool
The air was sweet
He stood so close
A smile within his
Soul ' he moved so
Quick he was slick
The talked began
With messages from
A Keyboard..
I was weak
Words he shared
Drove my thoughts wild
I never dream
He noticed me
Behind a hidden screen
For within a dreamer's
Night he became my
Secret delight...
A touch of desire
I breathe in the night air
His scent makes my heart race
Like a wild animal with a hunger rush
Flames within a touch of desire..

angel, death of a friend,
I miss you so much
I tried to move on, but have failed
I imagine often that your hand I clutch
I miss your lovey smile
The way you were so passionate
I would follow you for miles
On end until I found you

allegory, assonance, imagery, love, metaphor, psychological, spring,
Bring me dawn, soft
like the first
breath of Spring.
Bring me dusk, brisk
like the Morning’s
fresh cry,
like the Ocean’s
spray caressing my
skin.
Bring me voice,
shaped into a
lullaby,
dampened with cars
and carts from Old
Shanghai.
Bring me time, so we
can be older,
right here, right
now, watching the
seconds fly.
Bring me love, when
my heart grows
colder.
And she wept oh so
gently upon my
shoulder.

abuse, betrayal, heartbroken, pain, sorrow,
Many tears I have cried,
For the parts of me that have died.
For so long I've stood alone,
My heart eventually turned to stone.
I found a way to set in motion,
To feel no more and turn off my emotions.
Deep within I had the fight,
Dreams of love always out of sight.
Pushed everyone away,
I became a stray.
And even through my darkest days,
I found my way out of the maze.
No matter how deep you dig my hole,
I'll stand up strong and save my soul.
You've all mastered the art, of breaking my heart.
But the best of me, you'll never get to see
And in misery you'll all end, because never again will I bend.

YOUR LOVE KILLS ME DEVOTIONALLY
I'M DEVOTED TO YOU
I LIVE IN SILENT TREATED BY YOUR LOVE
I DARE TO LOSE YOU EMOTIONALLY
I'M EMOTIONAL DEVOTED TO YOUR LOVE
MY HEART IS FEEL WITH STONE ROCKS
THAT HURTS ME LIKE A HEART ATTACK
WHY ARE YOU SO SILENT WITH YOUR WORDS?
DO YOU CARE THAT I DIE FOR YOU?

analogy, corruption, crush, depression, for her, i love you, kiss,
Yes. The way your hair flies when we walk on the beach.
No. Your wrists are scarred and bleeding.
Yes. Your smile makes the world stand still.
No. Your depression will end us.
Yes. your heart is strong and and rich.
No. Your mind is polluted.
Yes. Forever and always you are mine.

beach, love,
Night time casting shadows, all around the city
People hurry homeward, ready for the week-end
Fleeting lovers meeting, you say she looks pretty
Walking in the moonlight, something I do commend.
Starlight shining brightly, under a silver moon
Ocean breaking gently, lapping against the sand
Holding hands and strolling, two hearts singing in tune
Heartfelt loving romance, with my wife oh so grand

love, world,
How I seek someone to love with all my heart without fear
How I wish I her could find, embrace her in my arms
show her the world of my heart, in which she is maiden dear,
take away the yore day tears,and co-reside sans harm.
how I would love you fore'er, thine for eons till the world's end
till prairies become deserts, and the ocean-forests land
then shall the sun scorch the earth, and mankind with its fire rays.
And ay all that shall remain, in your soul my love's array.

jealousy,
When was the last time we made love?
Some of the time you were tired,
Most of the time you were not in the mood.
And you just saw me with another girl,
You are not having another having eyes for me!
A badly maintained man is hazardous,
And tonight you can not wait for pillow talk,
Tonight you want to eat me whole,
Tonight a spot of jealousy ignites a vista of pleasure.
What do you think I would ever do for love,
When I do not get it at home,
And you saw me with another woman,
You are not having another smooch with me.
Seems to me competition that makes you be,
What kind of love would that be,
If you only want to take away the love given to me?

blessing,
What if I told you
I'm glad you let me go
I got all the wrong answers
To all the things I needed to know
So what if I said to you
I wish we never met
On my end
Its the greatest understatement
So what if I forgot you
As if you were in a past life
Wouldn't matter if you noticed
Especially since you already asked another...
to be your wife
So what if I told you
Nothing will hurt more,
And for that I am grateful.
So now I can rightfully so
Due to circumstances led by you
Let the love of my life go.

i love you,
Love is the sweetest
Word you will ever hear
When it is placed between
I and U .
The sweetest whisper
In your ear
I Love U
There's nothing more
Beautiful then U and I
For it is U I Love
Isn't it a blessing
The way we fit
Perfect together
I and U
I LOVE U
Together always
And forever
U and I
For it is U I LOVE
There's nothing more
Perfect
Then
U and I
And I and U
U I love
And I LOVE U
ALL started with a
Beautiful word
Call LOVE..

adventure,
Sitting in the pub,
Spending painfully-panned-gold,
Thinking about making money;
What a shame:
Money making ain't thinking about me.
Last night,
Love was good:
The plastic was foul,
We had to let go of all;
Fear is a useless emotion:
Reality is frightful.

anniversary, beach, beautiful, happiness, hope, how i feel, love,
An anniversary, to mark another year
we celebrate by waves. I'm glad to have you here.
How beautiful, my love. Your laughter says it too.
How happy that I feel to live my life with you.
It is upon the sand, this very pretty day
That all the words I spoke, a vow my lips did say.
It is my greatest hope another year to be
For I do love you now and for eternity!

FILL ME UP
Fill me up with love
Let me fly like a dove,
I want to run it over
Then dance like david, our father.
Healing rain is falling down
Fill me up with my own
Let me see thy greatness
And float in happiness.
Grace and glory abiding within
That will make me flow in.

love,
But then, hi there,
How is the bun in the oven
Burning?
How are you baking it?
And what is James Blunt saying now?
Does he think I don’t know?
You are all that is on my mind,
Right now, I will not let anyone touch
Your place, and space again;
Such fresh breath,
A miracle must have happened last night,
I wonder what it is;
We gotta lift ourselves up from the patterns
Of pain we have designed.

~ For Dad ~
Though warm your final breath
Kissed soft, my cheek in death
Thru depths that stretch belief
Are grown my wounds of grief
They weep as blood from veins
Yet bruised, this heart remains
And that soft breath, now old
Has turned my world ... e'er cold.

love,
We have had naked dances,
I know I will not have them
With any other, my heart will dance
Naked with yours forever.
And this is just the time
For this love to fight to survive,
It is breathing in my silent soul,
It is shining beyond
The dark pain of tribal influence.
Life begins when we are past a deathwish,
When there is nothing left to prove,
You said you are gone,
But you are lingering around,
I am the only one you know beyond pride,
Like you are the only one I know.
This connection is rare and defined
Like the smooth strokes of your oasis,
Like the sun shining in the morning,
But blinding when you look at it.

How to call
Hard to describe to give
A name for our love taste and
Test of the meaning is more
Of hard then my emotions which I
create in the world
To show what I feel about you
Fought of chocolate cracker your
my wife whom I love like
My heart beat what else I give
The meaning and how to call
Your name and get the address
where you run from my life
How to call how to stop talking
about our relationship which is
taking shape of shine pearl your are in shell
I am in hell
With love all
