Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love. If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him.

Love's Logic [Couplet Sonnet]
The more ways I find to express my love,
The more I love you, and the better for love,
And more: What more than seek such ways to it;
Expressing love (and therefore to do it) .
And if my love should make me false I would,
For better no false-love than mere falsehood.
How then is love (which others call) more proved
Than mine is? And not merely false-love's truth?
Where love's logic meets between false or not
No arguments have heard but have forgot
That love is truth - and none is love more false
Than proof; So this I swear on life and pulse:
That infinite love's true call expresses
Love is something more than proof professes.

LOVE What's love? ? ? ?
Love is just a word that i did not knew the meaning of before i met a special 'GUY'.
He showed me love even if it was not totally right
Love is deep
Love is special
Love is incontrolable
Love is magnificient
Love is strange
Love is joy
Love is pain
Love is mysterious
Love is crazy but before all that love is sweet and exquisite
Love made me a better person
Love turn me soft, lovable and loving
Love made me do things i thought i would never do
That's 'LOVE'
Love is just a word but that's my definition
Love is why i keep on hoping to have my love back
Love is why i keep on going and dreaming
Love made me happy and gentle
Love.........................

When It Comes To Love
Written by billy burnette, dennis morgan, and simon climie.
Push too hard, Ill pack my bags, Im going
Ahh, got to learn to let the river flow
Move too fast, youll end up never knowing
Whats inside my heart, give it time to grow
I need just a little space
Then I wont be afraid
When it comes to love, got to treat it special
When it comes to love, shouldnt be no pressure
When it comes to love, got to take it easy
You cant be too careful, when it comes to love
In your eyes I see a fire burning
Never seen it ever burn so bright
Beneath my feet I feel the earth start turning
Long enough to take my breath away and i
Need to know, what you feel
Got to show, its for real
When it comes to love, got to treat it special
When it comes to love, shouldnt be no pressure
When it comes to love, got to take it easy
You cant be too careful, when it comes to love
When it comes to love
Take it easy
Got to learn to take it slow
When it comes to love
Keep believin
When it comes to love
Give it time, and just let it grow
I need to know, what you feel
Got to show, its for real
When it comes to love, got to treat it special
When it comes to love, shouldnt be no pressure
When it comes to love, got to take it easy
You cant be too careful, when it comes to love
When it comes to love, got to treat it special
When it comes to love, shouldnt be no pressure
When it comes to love, got to take it easy
You cant be too careful, when it comes to love
When it comes to love, its special
When it comes to love, shouldnt be no pressure
When it comes to love, got to take it easy
You cant be too careful, when it comes to love
When it comes to love, its special

Ode 1957: An intellectual
An intellectual is all the time showing off.
Lovers dissolve and become bewildered.
Intellectuals try not to drown,
while the whole purpose of loves
is drowning.
Intellectual invent
ways to rest, and then lie down~
in those beds.
Lovers feel ashamed
of comforting ideas.
You’ve seen a glob
of oil on water? That’s how a lover
sits with intellectuals, there, but alone
in a circle of himself.
Some intellectual
tries to give sound advice to a lover.
All he hears back is, I love you.
I love you.
Love is musk. Don’t deny it
when you smell the scent!
Love is a tree.
Lovers, the shade of the long branches.
To the intellectual mind, a child must learn
to grow up and be adult.
In the station of love,
you see old men getting younger and younger.
Shams chose to live low in the roots
for you. So now, he soars in the air
as you sublimely articulating love!
Friendship part 3
In your stomach your may have butterflies
but, in mine, I have nothing but love
Believe me, these words I say are truth, no lies
you're a special one. the one I put above
All other... In time, in space, in heart.
We: me n you, we found that which we sought.
A friend that understand our body mind and soul
I cannot wait till we're together, then I'l be whole
having for every to take, my special one
I belive it may just be for you i was born.
I thank Good for meeting you, I thank him for this
I thak him fo ryou. thank him for the possibility of a first kiss.
fairy tales do come true,
that one person who was meant for you,
together we become whole,
waiting for that moment,
god brings us close,
can't wait for the day,
but, when it comes,
our friendship will grow strong,
we will be able to get through anything,
but, in the mean time,
just have to wait,
and see what will happen.

My Love is Theosophist
My love is a Theosophist
And reads the Ramayana;
Her luncheon is a pot of tea,
Her breakfast a banana.
She says that matter tends to clog
The spirit-force behind it.
My love is a Theosophist,
And very tough I find it.
My love is a Theosophist
And wears no combinations;
She says they get her thought-urge weak
And lower her vibrations.
She tells me flannel next the skin
Impedes the astral motions.
My love is a Theosophist,
And has the strangest notions.
My love is a Theosophist,
And few things I deplore as
Sincerely as the thoughtless way
She crabs her neighbours' auras.
She sensed Miss Hope's as bilious green,
And got some quack to vet it.
My love is a Theosophist,
And many folk regret it.
My love is a Theosophist,
And though distinctly stouter
She moves on a more mental plane
Than do the folks about her.
She moved into a potted plant
Last week at Mrs Reece's.
My love is a Theosophist,
So I picked up the pieces.
My love is a Theosophist,
And has an intimation
That she was Florence Nightingale
In her last incarnation.
She senses me as Titus Oates,
More Ape-man than Apollo,
My love is a Theosophist,
And difficult to follow.
My love is a Theosophist,
And does not seem to worry
If they forget to send the fish
Or fail to cook the curry.
As my potatoes grow more burnt
Her temper grows the sweeter.
My love is a Theosophist,
And lives on Veeta Weeta.
My love is a Theosophist--
Or, rather, is no longer;
For, though her Ego-urge was strong,
The Cosmic Will as stronger.
While moving on the Higher Plane
She moved into a lorry.
My love was a Theosophist,
And really I'm not sorry.

Shes Back.....
I cant wait till death has comes
in this dark evening
i cut a vein, my razor sharp as ever
i cant wait for death to come
alone in this world
should i write my suicide note?
but no, no one will read it
i am just a person not special
my life is nothing
i cat wait to die
besides who will stop me
i am nothing
i slit my wrist
as these tears come
i am back to my old self
i thought there was no love for me and
now you have proven me love cause more
pain in life, that love a second form of suicide.....

Love Can Be Fun
Love can be fun
But you have to guard the heart
Cause you might get hurt
Its fun to have someone to talk to
To cuddle with
And to make you feel special
But you may never know what a person has in store for you
It may be bad or it could be good
You may never know
But if you trust that person it could be fun
You just have to wait and see if it will work out or not
It can be fun
If that person make you feel special and happy
When you see tem them then it could be good
But you just have to be careful because it can turn out bad for you or the other person
Even if they told you that they will never hurt you
You just have to get to know them better and see if it will work out
Love is fun but guard the heart some

Everybody Wishes
Everybody wishes for
that one special person
who will light up their life.
That one special person
who will take care of them at night.
They ask no more
than just one love
to wrap their arms around
and in winters to keep them warm.
Just that one love
to comfort them in any storm.
That is what everyone wishes for,
but some seldom find
that just one love
that they are wishing for.

Her...
I can never get my mind off her,
I wonder if she'd mind if i'd,
make her my own,
and never let her go,
hug her tight,
treat her right,
act all polite,
take her on a date,
make sure i'm never late,
kiss her on her lips,
talk about our kids,
Make her feel like princess,
living in a castle,
hope that is not too much hassle,
But i am so blessed,
hope i can be the best,
hold you tight,
have your BR3A$t,
on my chest,
pass the test,
NOW YOUR MINE!

Something Special
(dusty springfield)
The first time we met
It was so plain to see
I didnt care for you
You didnt seem to care for me, oh, no, no, no, no
The next time we met
I thought hes kinda nice
That look that you gave me
Simply started to melt the ice, oh, oh, yeah
And then when you smiled that smile
And then when we kissed, said wait awhile
I got a feeling, ahh, that you are something special
And now were together and the world just passes us by
Yet every little thing you do makes me sigh with joy that boy is mine
Im gonna love you for the rest of my life
With the kind of lovin thats untouched
By hand and strife
Come on now, Im gonna tell you
That when, oh, when I see your face, yeah
And, oh, when Im in your warm embrace
I know for sure our love is something special
It is, yeah, yeah, yeah
Right now
When I see your face, oh yeah
And, oh, when Im in your warm embrace
I know for sure
Our love is something special
Come on now
Our love is something special
Oh yeah
Our love is something special
Oh right now
Our love is something special
Ooh yeah
Out love is something special

Let's Wait Awhile (remix)
LET'S WAIT AWHILE
Janet Jackson
There's something I want to tell you
There's something I think that you should know
It's not that I shouldn't really love you
Let's take it slow
When we get to know each other
and we're both feeling much stronger
Then let's try to talk it over
Let's wait awhile longer
Remember that special night?
When all of the stars were shining bright
We made our first endeavor to stay together
We made our very first promise
To love, to share and be real honest
But on that very first night
It wasn't quite right
Let's wait awhile before it's too late
Let's wait awhile, our love will be great
Let's wait awhile before we go too far
I didn't really know not to let all my feelings show
to save some for later so our love will be greater
You said you would always love me
Remember I said the same thing too
You don't have to be frightened with my love
Because I'll never give up on you
Let's wait awhile, before it's too late
You know, you can't rush love
Let's just take our time
Love's so good - sure I'll love will be there
Slow it down
I promise, I'll be worth the wait

Does His Love Show?
Is there one you may know, to whom God’s Love you can show?
It could be a friend or two, of who God’s Truth, they never knew.
Is there something you can do, to show how He loves them too?
Maybe you could share with one, a gentle truth about God’s Son.
Maybe God would have you share, in a way that shows you care,
By helping one in a special way, when having a very troubled day.
Maybe taking the time to sacrifice, this in the love of Jesus Christ.
Making the most of an opportunity, to show God’s love of Calvary.
Has Christ’s Love showed that day, changed your life in any way?
By filling you with Christ like love, that only comes from God above.
Christ sheds a love within a heart, love from God that won’t depart.
Are you using Christ’s love within, to love other men just like Him?
Do you think of the others first, even when they are at their worst?
Relying upon Christ’s love within, not hindered by the person’s sin.
Remember God loved me and you, when we were lost sinners too,
And yet Christ died on the cross, to save us when we still were lost.
Friend, will Christ’s love override, the natural feelings deep inside?
Instead of judging, love every day, that friend, in a Christ like way,
If you share Christ, in love and zeal, making Christ’s love very real,
Do you really think that anyone, would deny the love of God’s Son?

What is love
Love is just a world. Love is a feel. Love is strong. Love can make do things that you thought you will never do. Love makes you happy. For love you would give everything to be happy. Love make like your flying. For love people can live with out eat or drink. Love is give. Love can make you give up something so that person you love can be happy. Love makes you grow up. When you fall in love grow up because you think about the other person feel. Love makes different size and shaped of world. People not choose who to love and love come when you not think about. Love is everything. Without love the world will be like living in bad place to live.

Something Special
All dressed up, nowhere to go
Looks so easy but it isnt you know
Hard to find what youre dreamin of
But theres something special about our love
Different people, different worlds
You just call me, and Ill be there for you
We belong together you know its true
cause theres something special about our love
Its all right,
Baby, its ok
Were gonna make it no matter what they say
Sure as the stars shine in the sky above
There is something special about our love
People change as time goes by

But Ill love you til the day I die

Love Is Hell
love is ridiculous
love is evil
love is war
love is hell
some say they cant wait to fall in love
they wait, wait, and wait
they wait for prince charming
they love, they break, they love again
but still they wait
love is death
love is evil
love is war
love is hell
they want for someone to save them
they want someone to love them
they want someone's shoulder to cry on
they think they need love
love is death
love is evil
love is the end
love is hell
ask them what love is
ask them i dare you!
they will say 'its great'
they will say 'its to die for'
they will say 'every one needs it'
NO! not every one needs it
love is death
love is ridiculous
love is war
love is hell
some times it takes once
just once
your hole life can change
you find out you don't need love
love is death
love is evil
love is the end
love is ridiculous
love is war
love is hell
Zeal
Your zeal and my zeal,
Great cloud of witness to take us through;
But Adam and Eve fell into sin.
Of fleshly fathers to correct us,
Of fleashly mothers to care for us,
But to the great gathering of love is what we need.
Chasten your children and teach them the zeal of life,
For the great cloud of witness is with zeal.
My love is higher than the heavens and,
My works are easily noted by you;
But i will wander into the deserts and the mountains.
Perfected is my love by faith,
And i will to you very soon;
But let your zeal lead you on always.

Love Comes From God
Love comes to us from God
The day we was born until the end
We all need love, we want love
We have to have love
Look at the new born baby
How the mother looks at it
See the tears that flow
She forgot the pain
When she looked at the baby
For the first time
Look around at all the animals
How the mother or father
Protects their young at all costs
If we don't have love
Or grow up with parents
Who don't love us
We feel we are to blame
Are we are not good enough
We search for love in all the wrong places
We pick people we know are wrong for us
We find someone who at least pretends to love us
Sometimes we get with people who abuse us
We don't leave because we think we can't do it on our own
A child needs love to grow
To be a better person
To show love and respect
Without love we are lonely souls
Always looking wondering if we will ever find
Someone to love us
Then sometimes we wonder
Am I worth it?
Do they really love me?
Do they really care?
We cry, plead, and bargain with God
If only you will send me someone
If we wait and do what God says
He will send us the right one
The one he wants us with
God got me writing poems
I never thought I would write poems
God is love
He will supply our every need
If we listen and do his will
If he takes care of the flowers and trees
The animals
Don't you think he will take care of us
Believe and you will see what love does
When it comes from God
He does send love.

Infallible
'Aidabella',
I have been too long in the rain!
So break down the walls and,
Take my love around to feel the difference.
Infallible truths,
Infallible proofs,
And like a new love;
But i am from the land of phones and,
I have no phone.
A new tomato,
A new potato,
A new creation!
Sow in tears and reap in joy.
Your zeal has stirred up the majority,
But he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly!
And i am here to share my love with you.
