Message Through a Wind
mohammed yaseen kola

'Oh' My friend, I hope you hear me,
I hope the wind gives you the message of mine
I still remember you 'O' friend of mine,
And tell me can I expect the same from you.
The innumerable moments are still part of my memory
These are enough for me to get a delirium of joy.
I can't anticipate how changed you are,
Can I expect you to be same for me.
One who consoled me in times of regret,
One persuading me when dejected.
Such persons are called out sporadically,
It's very rigorous to part with them.
Weren't you the one who precepted me,
Of friendship being the most obstinate relation.
Were they all delusive words of yours,
Or you really are worth what I thought?
I hope you still miss me the way I do,
I hope the wind gives you the message of mine

Falling in Love
Jennifer
Did you ever love someone and know they didn't love you? Did you ever feel like crying and ask what good it would do? Did you ever look into his eyes and say a little prayer? Did you ever look into his heart and wish that you wish that you were there? Did you ever see him sitting with the lights turned down real low? Did you ever whisper to yourself "Oh god, I love him so!" A heart is not a playing thing a heart is not a toy, but if you want yours broken just give it to a boy. Boys just love to play with things, to see what makes them run, but when it comes to breaking things, they do it for the fun. So don't fall in love my friend, you'll see it doesn't pay, and although it causes broken hearts, it happens everyday. So don't fall in love my friend, the price you pay is too high. If I had a choice between love or death, I think I'd rather die. So don't fall in love my friend, you'll hurt before it's through, you see my friend, that I do know, I have been there too. You see my friend, that I do know, I fell in love with you.

Surrender to Love
Jil-JLewis
Late nights, when I’m holding you tight, I want to surrender to love
I’d surrender everything, if it meant I could feel your love
As you lay sleeping , I wonder what it’d be like if you loved me too
Just as I love you
I want to surrender my love to you

I’m pondering what you’d say to me, if you know of my love
Because I’d give up my life if for one moment I could feel your love
This love I have is a burning desire, deep in my heart, and deep in my soul
I want to surrender my love to you

WHY?
Nicole


Why must you leave without saying goodbye?
Since you have been gone I have been lonely,
All I want to do is sit here and cry.
I have to pull through for our family,
I have to be strong for our kids,
Every single day I ask God why,
Because very soon farewell I must bid,
Every morning I look at the sky.
I know you will be our Angel soon,
You will be there to watch over us all,
Will you please sing us your sweet Angel tune?
You will be there to catch us when we fall,
Even though we are being pulled apart,
You will forever remain in my heart.

love for another    
By: Miroku

You love girl for a lot of reasons
The way you hate them yet know you'd die for them
The way they make you feel everything is right when you hold them
the way you can look in there eyes and and know you need them and know they need you
you would do anything to stop there tears and they for you
for love is not in the head it is in the heart and soul
the way they make you feel warn on a cold day
the way they cheer you up when your sad
how we miss them and how they miss us
the way you know you want to say and do a thousand things for them to prove them your love yet you already know she loves you with her heart and soul
the way when you are away from them they stay in your mind
the way you want to hold and love them forever yet you know one day it will end
until that day you should do anything and everything for them
for once your dead you shall not have that love you another

A Secret
For D.
 - Siren
 
We lay,
Entwined as ancient ivy,
A secret within,
Not known to the outside,
Unless you have the key.
 
A key,
Forged in fires of passion,
Hardened by love,
And shaped by trust and loyalty,
We have the key.
 
A gift,
From an angel to a failure,
Pulled me up,
Tended and shaped the lock,
To hold our secret
 
A lock,
To hold our love as tightly,
As we are held,
But the freedom i feel in your arms is stronger,
Than anything.
 
We lay,
Deep set in the warmth of security,
Held, tight together,
Unbreakable, beautiful, free.
A secret, untold.

Ecstasy
Written By: Lance Jameel Lucas
With you, I feel feelings that burn deep inside,
To the point that they can no longer hide.
When I look into your eyes, I feel this warm glow,
Like a special connection that only you and I know.
I experience this passionate tingle go down my spine
As I hold your soft body close to mine.
Your heart races against my chest as I hold you tight,
We both want to go further cause it feels so right.
Your body gets warmer as I kiss your neck,
And when I caress your thighs you start to sweat.
As we embrace each other tighter its plain to see,
We both want to feel that blissful ecstasy.
Our love is unconditional and special every day,
Now its time to show it in a special way.
I see your "pure" body and its a vision of beauty,
I feel honored that you chose to share it with me.
You jump on me, wrap your legs around me, and hold on tight,
As we make love passionately through the night.
You embrace my back tighter with every pleasing motion,
We feel even closer now that we're acting out hidden emotions.
When we're done, I hold your sweet body next to me,
And when we look into our eyes, we know we went to ecstasy.

The Most Precious
Peggy Hunt  
Your first cry,
The first step you try,
Your first word,
The first song you heard,
The most precious things in the world.
Your first birthday,
That first Christmas day,
Your first day of school,
That first day in your new pool,
The most precious days in the world.
Your first time on the potty chair,
The first time you spent the day in
your underwear,
The first time to show me you cared,
The most precious times in the world.
You're two now,
You confuse the difference between a
horse and a cow.
YOU ARE THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THE WORLD.

I remember when it was just us three,
We always laugh, joked, and went to parties
I remember when we used to kick it.
After awhile we all started drinking.
I remember I was drunk and dazed,
Remember it was “The Day” :)They’re things we all regret…
But remember those other days, they were great!!!
Remember when it used to be just us,
“Damn”, I remember smoking all those blunt.
I bet you remember “Senior Ditch Day”:),
Cuz I remember it, like it was yesterday.
Remember those fools, “Pukie”, and “Wootie Woo”
“Damn”, that was the day I felt good.
Also remember the following day,
Those are the kind off days, I hate.
You know what I remember the most? “Night School”(supposedly)
And those trips to “The Hood”.
Remember when we wanted to spend the day,
All those lies we used to say.
Now all we do,
Is remember all those things, we went through.
But, you know what makes me glad?
That we all making it at last!!!

RANDOM THOUGHTS
Syeda Zahi

Last night a long  lost thought of you entered my heart,
Like Spring which silently creeps up on the wilderness,
Like a cool breeze which softly starts blowing in the desert,
Like a sick person in pain, strangely finding peace & solace.

The Treasure  
-  Dedicated to Honey Schlessel  -
Rudolph Joseph Scialo

A time remains within my heart, the day of thoughts when we did part.
I feel the pain of time so lost and fear the scene of what it cost.
Your thoughtful smile and tender touch, those days of dreams we dreamt too much.
They held me fast but for the wind, of you my thoughts they did not sin.
Your tight tan skin and ample breast, pressed firm against my strong young chest.
I did not think our kiss would end nor think the need this word to send.
Our plans were set in youth so pure events unseen made them demure.
We lost the life of days gone by, my hurt is deep, and my heart is torn.
To think the treasure I once found has made another’s hallow ground.

TOGETHER
Nathan Fry
 
Together we were for six or seven
Together I felt we were in heaven
 
Together we did everything
Together we even did sing
 
Together we were really in love
Together we were like two kissing doves
 
Together is my only endeavor
Together I wish we were forever

Love? 
Mary Durbin
 
I've searched and searched
but never found
someone to love
on these earth grounds
I've waited and waited
but he never showed
because true love
I have never known

One Starry Night
Becky Christopher

I know of a man with a broken heart,
His world, his life, has fallen apart
The love of his life was taken one night
Now his world, his heart will never be right
The cancer brought upon her gave her limited time
The eight months of hell drove him out of his mind.
He took such good care of her every day and each night
Knowing he'd lose her, he gave such a fight
The chemo did its evil, left her weak with no hair.
They ended each night with a kiss and a prayer.
He knew she was dying, you could see it in his eyes.
He loved her and cherished her as time flew by
Now she's gone and he's left all alone
He'll bury her today with her name etched in stone
He'll never get over the pain left behind
For she was his love, a one of a kind.
But she left him a promise that when the time was right
Their souls would meet again on one starry night.

 A GRANDAUGHTER'S GOOD-BYE  `
                            Janet Shearer
 
                       AS I lay here with you Grandma
                         with Questions and Whys,
                      You softly look up at me
                   And said don't cry it's alright.
                      As the look in her eyes
                        had told Goodbye
                      I Love You Sweetheart,
                          No Questions
                              No Whys
 
                    IN LOVING MEMORY OF BETTY BROWN

Three Words
Samantha Bigora
You fortify me
Making me into a statue
This statue cannot break
For it is made of faith
Only Faith I have in you
No doubt
Or secrets from you
I would share the world if I could
To show you everything
But in three words I can
These words cannot be taken lightly
Because they are not the statue
But the foundation alone
These words are forever engraved into my heart
They can never be changed
For these three immeasurable words are
I love you

FOR THE BEST
Megan Attanasio

You patronize me when you speak to me.
You want me to give up the good I've worked so hard for.
I'm the person I'll always be,
I know my place in the world and I've come to far to give it up.
I'm not afraid to be who I have to be.
I thought all this was in vain,
but it worked out in the end.
It makes no sense to me.
I've tried to understand.
You wanted better for me but when I get it you want to take it away.
So many nights I've stayed awake and cried, watching my life pass me by.
Nothing could compare to the tears that I've tasted and the years that I've wasted.
It seems hardly worth it to me.
I've put way to much in the game to let it go.
You should of known the answer long before you asked.
You should of thought of the consequences long before you said.
In the end please don't be angry and please don't cry.
Just deep in your heart realize it's all the best.

SONIA’S SONG (VALENTINE’S DAY 2003)
bakhtiar
WORDS COULD NOT TRULY PORTRAY
WHAT MY LIPS COULD NOT CONVEY
A BROKEN WORLD STILL UNFULFILLED
OF HOPES AND DREAMS THAT LAY UNBUILT
A WOUNDED HEART THAT CRIES FOR YOU
PINING LOVE THAT NO ONE KNEW.
COME THEN MY SWEET, RELIEVE MY PAIN
FOR IN MY HEART ‘NLY YOU SHALL REIGN

A LUCKY MOTHER
By Jessie
Winter cool crisp air
I feel love everywhere
I feel compelled every night
To hold my son oh so tight
For he is my gift from my lord
So I know I must adore
 
He is precious He is rare
You may never dare to compare
He lights the room with a glee
He captures your heart in a jiffy
 
He is my son so nobody will know
How much my love overflows
 
I may write all day
About this you see
Because it is Sebastian
Can't you see
 
20 lbs of fun has just begun
To open the door
To a whole new world
 
Mommy, Mommy
is very proud and lucky..

I look at you in amazement,
You're always in my dreams,
When i think about you,
Nothing is as it seems,
You give me that feeling,
I though it was lost,
You brought it back,
It feels great again,
Then there's you,
Such a beautiful creature,
Always glowing,
Always inspiring,
Always infecting me,
Infecting me with new life,
I feel so young,
Like having a first crush,
Its all so real,
Life's biggest rush.

Shawntae Thompson

You are my friend
my counselor
The one I can turn to in hard times
The one I can look to when there is nowhere else to look
You are my comfort
my shoulder to lean on
The one I can trust
The one I can tell all my secrets
You are my relief
my inspiration
The one that heals my heart when it is sore
The one I will come to forever more

Love
robyn rookard
love is a sensation caused by temptation
a guy sticks his location into a girls destination
to increase the population for the next generation
now do you get my explanation
or do you need a demonstration

Upon reflection,
He wondered, had he loved her
Really, truly loved her
Now she was gone from this world
He wondered where she was
Was she at peace?

So Generous
Torie
It's so simple.
To critique another's words.
Yet as I try to form my own,
my mind is filled with your emotion.
So simple.
To hate you for your needs,
and so simple
to want your honesty.
For how would you react
to my mouth
so full of your shit ?
How nice it would be
to use your hands
on you...
so often, I am the only one
who feels them.
So often
The only one to cry out
When my head hits the wall...
The only one,
to feel you
as you want to be heard.
So simple,
To want you to feel the pain you help me feel.
So generous.

share the time
share the life
 
our love

(beside us
the clock have die... )

I NEVER TOLD YOU," I LOVE YOU"
Kia Sade Key            
    
  
You told me you loved me and I never replied.  I just couldn't let you know how I truly felt inside.  When I was with you my life had no limits.  I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you even down to the last minutes.  Walking me to class and holding my hand, you did more for me than my own man.  What happened to our relationship?  Why is it gone and thru? Now I remember, I never told you, "I Love You".

  IN THE DARK
Angela Rocker
                   In the dark, space is infinite.
                    Reality is defined.
                   Sight is blind.
                   In the dark, desires to be pleased
                   can lead you to be deceived.

=0=

 

I want, I need, so help me please
I need to find,
Find the key to your heart.
God give me the wings,
To help me make a new start.
I want to find,
Find the peace in me.
I need to know,
What I have begun to see.
Tell me what to do,
To make things right.
Tell me if I have the strength to make it
through the fight.
What can I do,
To stand proud?
God help me see through all of the clouds.
Was I lying,
When I said I didn't care?
I don't know if this is just too much to
bare.

Half Past Done
Amanda K. Terry
Your passionless
Soul is as dead
As your carcass was
In life.
Wandering aimlessly,
Gratifying none;
Doomed to eternal
Waking slumber.
They call me
Darkness;
You see only light,
In my eyes
Of watering nothingness.
Reach for me;
Take what you can,
For I'm half past
Full
And not quite done.

-GUARDIAN-
J. Scott
Weakened Haunted Threatened Scared by life
If you look to the heavens, you can fly there later
She taught me this with no words but actions
Grateful till this very day
Protect my soul if you may
When I’m feeling down and lonely
I know you’ll be there by my side
Forever you’ve been there right with me
Changed me forever made me weaker
Change me forever make me stronger
Wrote few numbers on my arm
Wish I kept them id call you now
Gratefulness is what you gave me
Hope is what I need from you
So I’ll continue on my day
Knowing what you gave for me
Never will I forget you love
Until we meet again
With all my heart to my angel

UNKOWN SONG
ralph anderson

Verse 1
 
See you with the necklace I made you wear,
Me and you were the perfect pair.
With every glimpse you gave me,
With every story you told me,
I never thought this would end…
 
See you with the smile on your face,
Me and you always tied the race.
With every smile you couldn’t spare,
With every secret you kept, it wasn’t fair,
I never thought this would end…
 
Chorus
 
I’m stunned with confusion,
And you’re stuck in denial
At times I think I can see the thoughts that are deep inside you.
I sit alone in heartache,
But you still live the same way,
Why did it ever have to be this way?
 
Verse 2
 
By my side you will stay
For me, yet another day
Shove me aside because you have someone else instead
Back and forth inside your head
I never thought this would end…
 
I’m so scared of what you’ll say
I guess tomorrow’s a new day.
So tell me who will it be?
Will it be him or will it be me?
I never thought this would end…
 
Chorus
 
I’m stunned with confusion,
And you’re stuck in denial
At times I think I can see the thoughts that are deep inside you.
I sit alone in heartache,
But you still live the same way,
Why did it ever have to be this way?
*(2nd Time) I think you know how this will end
Bridge
 
My life is going down the drain,
I can no longer take this pain
Sitting here watching the sun go down,
I wonder if tomorrow will be the same
Will this moment ever cease?
Or will your love for him just increase?
Every day is still to come,
But I must wait for what it will bring
I wait for her to finally see,
What she really means to me.
But time keeps moving on and on, and on…….
 
Chorus
 
I’m stunned with confusion,
And you’re stuck in denial
At times I think I can see the thoughts that are deep inside you.
I sit alone in heartache,
But you still live the same way,
Why did it ever have to be this way?
*(2nd Time) I think you know how this will end

Dreams Of Love
Elizabeth Gage
 
Touching you in my dreams
Feeling your heat
Love words whispered to me
My soul set free
I feel your breath caress my face
Opening my eyes
I cry
For no more am i in your warm embrace
 
I feel the tears
What do i fear
Was you real or just in my dream
Reaching out in the night
Emptied handed,i am scared
More than my sad heart can bare
 
Closing my eyes
Smiling for i know in my dreams you will be there
Feeling your sweet love
With me you only share
Afraid of the daybreak
You seem to always fade away
Know this i will never stop till you are home
Here with me ,not at night in my thoughts
Never will i stop searching till i find you
Not in my dreams but real in my life never to be apart
