Was
When I become was and we become were
Will there be any sign or a trace of th lovely contour of your face
And will there be someone around
With essentially my kinda sound
When am turns to was and now is back when
Will someone have moments like this
Moments of unspoken bliss
And will there be heroes and saints
Or just a dark new age of complaints
When I become was and we become were
Will there be any susans and ralphs
Lookin at old photographs
And wondering aloud to a friend

Treasured Moments
Every one of us has moments,
treasured moments to call our own.
They come when we’re not looking,
and linger with us a lifetime.
They bring happiness
that we can look back on,
through our growing years.
No one can steal them from us,
nor taint them in anyway.
They are our treasured moments,
that linger with us,
even when we pray.
They are little time capsules
that hold our world together,
when we are feeling down.
They are the joys we reached,
when heaven said, its you.
Treasured moments
like photographs,
capture a moment in time.
We think of some thing to associate them with.
So when we see that thing
we can enjoy them once more,
those treasured moments.

If life is rich or poor
Being amused, being enthused,
Being safe and being at rest
Are the moments of happiness.
Being belied, being bereaved,
Being denied and being anxious
Are the moments of sorrow.
Feeling high, reaching top,
Falling in love and meeting desire
Are the moments of pleasure.
Feeling low, falling deep,
Fearing, wanting and pining
Are the moments of pain.
Their mixture determines
If one’s life is rich or poor,
Though mind can alter the contour

In Sadness Tears May Guide Us
in sadness tears may befriend us
happy memories may guide us
back into myriads of love moments
moments when we were nurtured in love
moments when we were embraced in love
moments when we were shaped in love
such moments are safe inside us
such moments will navigate guide us
such moments are strength within us

Remember
I remember moments of happiness
Coming home, goo goo eyed
After talking to a boy I liked
I remember moments of sadness
Coming home, teary eyed
After leaving my heart as a memento
To that boy I really liked
I remember moments of peace
After winning one of life's battles
Having a conscience the weight of air
I remember moments of bliss
After walking the quarter of a lifemile
Finding a true friend
I remember moments of grief
After finding that dear friend
Would never have breakfast again
I remember moments of laughter
After the past had past
And the rearview revealed frustration's
humor
I remember moments of tears nectar
When I found my dreams dead
After the doctor helped me number my
days
I remember moments of pain
When all I ever needed was lacked
And all I ever lacked was needed
I remember moments of gain
After all I ever wanted was mine
And all I ever wanted to be was I
I remember moments of love
When a hug made my heart skip
And a smile made my life smile
I remember moments of hurt
When pain blurred love's beauty
And that hug made my heart shrug
I remember moments like this
When I remember all I remember
And remember that life is but a moment.

Lovely Cruise
By: johnathan baham
1977
Drink it up, this ones for you
Its been a lovely cruise
Im sorry its ending, oh its sad, but its true
Honey, its been a lovely cruise
Chorus:
These moments were left with
May you always remember
These moments are shared by few
Theres wind in our hair and theres water in our shoes
Honey, its been a lovely cruise
-- spoken: so lets cruise darlin
Chorus:
Ohhh, these moments were left with
May you always remember
These moments are shared by few
And those harbor lights, lord, theyre coming into view
Well bid our farewells much too soon
So drink it up, this ones for you
Honey, its been a lovely cruise
Yeah baby, its been a lovely cruise
Oh darlin, its been a lovely cruise

Waving to moments passing by
Moments happy moments
people think about them
people write about them
people talk about them
people hope about them
I see moments
lots of moments
but I wave to my moments
as they pass me by...
My life is a ship
on an Ocean deep
passing by is the ship 'Could've been'
it holds all my moments in its keep
I stand on my lifes deck
waving to moments till they're just a speck
Moments happy moments
people live them
people grab them
people make them
people savour them
but I wave to my moments
as they pass me by...
Goodbye 'Could've been'
Goodbye moments...

Those Special Moments
If only we could keep
those moments from slippin' away,
grab hold of them and cherish them
and try to make them stay.
But moments like those so often
are hard to hold onto.
They slip right through your fingers
no matter what you do.
You can think about it, talk about it
and remember it for a while.
Then as time keeps rushing away
what's left is just a smile.
The smile that brings those moments back
as if they were happening now.
And those moments that happened long ago
come alive somehow.
And you realize just a glimpse of them
awakens how you feel.
It takes you back to those moments
that time can never steal.

Moments
We have treasured moments
we collect everyday,
as we walk our journey
along life’s long and winding road.
Moments that we want to keep
for some sad and lonely day.
Moments to treasure,
when the sun refuses to shine.
Moments to remember
and call upon at anytime.
Moments when we are blessed,
with love and friendship divine.
Moments that we gather,
with love in our memories.
Moments, beautiful moment,
we gather everyday.

No Sign Of Yesterday
Pull out the stop plugs, drain all the waste
Who needs it anyway
Fill all the big holes, leave no trace
No sign of yesterday
I was all the dishes and I clean up my place
No sign of yesterday
I stare at the photographs of your dark face
No sign of yesterday
Out in the yard, was such a lovely place
Its where we used to play
Inside, outside you can feel and taste.
No sign of yesterday
And I cant hear you calling
I cant hear you calling
I cant hear you anymore
Metal ships are falling
This old car keeps stalling
Always seems to be the way
Pick up the pieces, and go dig out the dead
Then you can go to bed
Night is the stealer and time is the test
No sign of yesterday
Pull out the stop plugs, drain all the waste
Who needs it anyway
Fill all the big holes, leave no trace
No sign of yesterday
And I cant hear you calling
I cant hear you calling
I cant hear you anymore
Metal ships are falling
This old car keeps stalling
Always seems to be the way

My Canadian Chronicles 13
In each life, there are special moments
we like to remember and recall.
Moments that have brought us laughter
almost cascading into tears.
Moments of great happiness
to last us through the years.
Moments with very special people
who are dearly beloved friends.
Special moments no one can take away.
They happen but once
and are captured forever within our mind.
Special moments within our lifetime.

That Month July
That year...
Autumn months soon fade away
Spring rains skip town and leave no trace
But sun shone bright that summer day
When I first met you, face to face
It seemed as if no time had passed
'Til we were talking night and day
But summer never seems to last
And with time came our separate ways.
Years come and go, but moments stay
Hold with us through the stinging snow
Moments thought of night and day
Things I long to let you know.
Lifechanger, hero, mentor, friend
I could label you, but why?
The memories will never end
Thoughts linger, of that month July.

Family Moments
Each family has moments,
Moments of happiness and emotion.
Moments that show love and kindness.
To each member of the family.
Some family moments are sad,
Some show hate that never lasts.
Then the truth shines and shows,
Each family moment is special after all.
Family moments may show happiness,
Happiness that lights up the earth.
Family Moments are amazing,
So don't forget your...
Family Moments.

Luggage
I am a traveller
with only one bag of luggage.
In my bag,
is my passion
to the beauty of many colors
and lights of this universe...
my commitments to many people
who have shared with me
dark moments
and joyful moments too...
and my hopes and dreams
to finish my travel
without hurting anyone
but leave everyone
with only happy moments
to treasure.

Jupiter Crash
She follows me down to the sound of the sea
Slips to the sand and stares up at me
Is this how it happens?
Is this how it feels?
Is this how a star falls?
Is this how a star falls?
The night turns as I try to explain
Irresistible attraction and orbital play
Maybe it's more like a moth to a flame
She pushes my face with her smile
Forget about stars for a while!
She melts
Meanwhile millions of miles away in space
An incoming comet crashes Jupiter's face
And disappears away with barely a trace
Was that it?
Was that the Jupiter show?
Kinda wasn't quite what I hoped for, you know?
Pulling away, she stands up slow
Around her the night turns
Around her the night turns
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was it
That was the Jupiter Crash
Drawn too close and gone in a flash
Just a few bruises in the region of the splash
She moved to the sound of the sea
She drifted away from me
So much for gravity

I Dreamed
That We Kissed
And it dripped with longing
With ephravecent desire and forbiddenness
We slipped into our arms
Yours
And Mine
Warmth and comfort there
Laced
With Passions’ Twisted Fate
Your Hair a Warm blanket on my face
We pressed together
With bodies of unspoken compatibility
Ours souls for that moment twinned and rose
In The Glory of our Bliss
And sunk for just a moments thought
of the others
To whom were promised
Your eyes
Tantalizing
Drew me in
And I could not resist:
That Dream,
That Kiss, That Longing
Ephravecent moment.
O Torn and Twisted Fate
Cruel, Soft and Lovely
Sweet Memories
Weeks gone by,
your face unknown,
until a day your face is shown...
A face to go with the words inside,
making a fairytale come alive...
Words of truth from your lips to mine,
the sweetest first kiss better than fine...
Opportunities created,
moments shared,
a sensuality unknown too tough to bear...
Then the kiss of sweet secrets,
roaming hands and gasping moments...
The union came not once but twice,
heavenly bliss has its price...
Now these are just memories to me,
as I lie here longingly...

Joy of Bliss
Ah Ah, an expression of gladness,
Joy, Joy at the peak of time.
Moments with Bliss, times to behold.
Amending a fragile heart.
Joy like a river,
flowing side by side.
Selecting it time of rest,
But leaving one with a smile.
Just through a name, Happiness arrives,
By a word, hearts clicks.
No more sad moments, they exclaimed.
But just as Joy as Bliss

Remembering Where You Once Stood
There are moments
Defined in our lives
That mark our growth
That allow us to see
That beyond the place
We come from is
A world that is full of
Oppurtunities.
It is moments like
This that we sit back
And reflect on
Where we have been
And where we are going
And what lies ahead of us.
It is in these moments when
We learn what true growth is
And look forward
While still remembering
Where you once
Stood.

Purple edged moments I no longer have you
There are purple edged moments
Once coloured a different hue,
Purple edged are my feelings
Now that I no longer have you.
Yellow bright the morning
When you were here with me;
From evening 'til the dawn came
You were all that I could see.
Moments spent with you my love,
Have warmed me through and through
Come back, come back as soon as you can
My needs revolve around youPurple edged moments.
