Holding me tight,
A little too tight
Holding me close
Hold me closer

A drop rolls down my face,
Another races to my chin,
One is stopped,
By upturned lips.

Is it today or tomorrow,
Maybe it’s yesterday,
Is that the sun I see,
Or is it the moon?

There’s the roses again,
Is that how rainbows smell?
Pitter patter, pitter patter,
All around me.

In a land of sorrow and sadness,
I grew up believing the words of rock n roll,
I believed in fate, destiny, and happily ever after.

In a land of poverty and subservience,
I felt wealthy beyond all comparison,
I was rich with hopes, dreams and fantasies.

In a land of despair and regret,
I grew up and moved away, far far away,
To a land rich and happy, filled with marvels.\

In a land of wealth and influence,
My dreams of fairy tales were dashed,
I experienced misery and pain, day after day.\

In the land of princes and princesses,
I learnt of music full of sadness and anger.
I played the rhythm and the blues day after day,
night after night.

In the land of independence and power,
I felt trapped and powerless,
Life was happening
I fought against it
I grew up,
I lost

Then I met you!

See the love flowing from your heart,
Redirect it all into the other part of your heart
Watch as your heart fills slowly.

Don’t try too hard, let it flow naturally.

When ready, let it overflow, slowly.

Let flow all over your body, cover your entire body with love
Let it flow into your mind, cover all of it with love
Let it flow into your entire being

Now, let it flow outside you,
The barriers that kept that love inside you is gone.

In the middle of your heart is a tunnel that connects you
It connects you to everybody whom you love
Let the love flow.

The love within your being does not diminish.
The newly created love replenishes any that is flowing out.

Let it flow out and it flows through the ones near you.

The love dances with the love from the others

Slowly, bit by bit, dancing, flowing, playing, all of the love merges together.

We are one, particles within an ocean of love.

We are no more, there is only the love.

The sun shone ever so bright
on a soul dark and bitter…

Sipping another drag of nicotine,
quaffing another shot of something strong,
at least in the mind,
of the soul still so dark and bitter.

The heat bearing down…
trying its best to burn away..
at least at the edges of the bitterness…
and even the sun…
could do very little…

The birds chirping tried…
so did everything in its path..
but none had any effect.

Then it encountered something unexpected…
Hidden away in a corner of the world!

Something it had given up on finding…
a time before time itself.

In a moment,
lasting an eternity,
it changed…
everything changed…
existence itself..
was no longer what it was…

The energy, the optimism,
the joy and love expressed..

Beyond words,
inexpressible in action.

Even art fails to grasp
that which happens in an instant.

Some call it love at first sight.

Other call it fate..

Others yet call it destiny.

I just called it my destination.

Everything conspired,
sometimes cruelly,
sometimes sweetly,
sometimes stubbornly….

But as all roads once led…
led to Rome…

All roads led me to you…

And time is suddenly moving too fast…
Trying to slow it down,
but time is more stubborn,
than poor old me…

Two years, a lifetime, many lifetimes..

A brand new life - one barely imagined..
barely contained…

Happiness discovered; love infinite…

Time, with its ever changing moods,
never stopping,
always without mercy,
I have myself a stay of execution.

Swimming in this warmth,
this glow of love and affection,
I am nary a man,
nary a being of time or space.

In infinity I bask, in the glory,
of simply being loved,
by a heart that knows not,
not what bounds are.

Words as simple as love,
had a power…
a power that was indescribable.

In the world of words, it was easy,
easy to get lost and forget,
forget the feelings,
the memories,
the thoughts,
that they embodied.

I was never prepared,
A time when words would fail me.

For there are some things,
some rare things in life,
that words cannot describe,
words have not been created for,
words cannot be created.

I would read the the dictionaries,
not just of this tongue,
but all that has ever been writ,
to find but one word,

one word,
to come close,
to how much,
just how much,
I love you…

I knew it my heart,
even though I doubted it,
now and again.

My love was not for a purpose,
it simply was.

I knew this but I forgot.\

I wanted nothing back,
I wanted nothing forward.

I just wanted to be,
I just wanted to love.

It is easy to get confused,
Who loves?

Is it me, my heart, my soul?\

Is it wrong that I miss her?\

To be with her fills me with joy,
fills me with happiness,

Is that not selfish?

Should I not let her be?

Let her do what she wants?

as long as it makes her happy!

Indeed, but I still miss her,
and all I want to do,
is what I can to make her smile,
to bring a little joy into her life.\

All the riches in the world,
Diamonds, jewels and gold.

Palaces with a thousand servants,
Gardens with a million roses,

All the luxuries that money can buy,
Or the ones that money cannot buy.
Even to be a star,
admired and loved by all.

None of this (if I had it) would compare,
not even a little bit,
to the happiness I feel,
Every time I see you smile.

Sitting here quietly,
At the railway station of life,
Quietly watching lovers and friends,

As they say their fond farewells,
As they pray for the train to be delayed
so they may spend another minute together,
just one more minute,
just one more second.

As they wait with baited breath,
For the train to arrive,
So they may say their enthusiastic hello’s.

I am not sad,
that I sit here alone,
for I love you,
with all my heart,
and it matters not,
not a little bit,
that you do not love me

Every single cell,
Every single atom,
Of my mind,
Of my body,
Of my soul.

My whole being loved her,
Loved her totally,
Loved her completely,
Loved her unconditionally.

She took my hand,
kissed it sweetly,
and just walked away

Who but you my love,
Can brighten my day,
The saddest of days,
The hardest of days,
The most frustrating days,
With but a smile.

Who but you my love,
Can make me feel rich,
When I have lost,
All that I had built,
With my blood, sweat and tears,
When you embrace me.

Who but you my love,
Of all the people,
In the whole wide world,
Who but you my love,
Can break my heart.

Thank You, she said,
Thank you for the dance.

Thank You, I said,
Thank you very much.

For brightening my day with you smile,
For making for forget my worries,
To take me away from the illusion of this world,
and into the depths of your eyes.

Thank You, I said,
Thank you very much.

For freeing me from the shackles of this world,
And liberating my heart and soul,
When I love you as I do,
I feel joy in everything I do.

Thank You, I said,
Thank you very much.

For the pain that I feel that you are not mine,
The sadness every time you walk away,
The sorrow when you say goodbye,
and the longing when you are away

Thank You, I said,
Thank you very much.

For all the joy I feel when you are near,
For all the pain I feel when you are far,
For all the love I feel for you always,
and I am grateful that I feel these for You.

Thank You, she said,
Thank you for the dance.

I have lived a thousand lives,
through countless millenia.

And now that I have met you,
whats another few days,
another few months,
another few years,
or a few more lives,
for us to fall in love.
