Oneiromancy

I fell asleep and dreamed that I
Was flung, like Vulcan, from the sky;
Like him was lamed-another part:
His leg was crippled and my heart.
I woke in time to see my love
Conceal a letter in her glove

I Dreamed.

I dreamed a dream and in that dream,
I dreamed that I had dreamed a dream,
Of hope and fairytales come true,
I dreamed a dream and thought of truth,
I dreamed a dream of life and love,
Of fate and angels and God above,
I dreamed a dream of good wishes and friends,
I dreamed a dream I dreaded to end,
But then I woke into my dream,
I dreamed I woke in a world obscene,
I dreamed a dream of violence and hate,
And once again I dreamed of fate,
I dreamed a dream of terror and fear,
I dreamed that each word went unheard,
And so children never spoke a word,
I dreamed a dream of demons and beasts,
I dreamed a dream that ended at last,
I woke in my bed and wondered if,
I dreamed a dream of dreams or if,
I dreamed a dream of truth that night,
And if so I wondered which was truth,
And which was merely a dream.

A Red Rose

You have sent to me a red rose
Through this letter a flower
It is my heart not a rose
My dear darling, I am writing
To let you know

That your heart is more then worthy of me
There is so much love
Hidden in this letter
Like the countless numer of pearls
In the ocean

If I was nearby
You would have kissed me
Through your letter
You sent me a rose
It was your heart

Did I share my dreams
When I was falling asleep
Dreaming of you
I had so many
Having fun and laughing

While whispering to me
And holding me tight
It was so full of passion
I needed it and wanted it
Just your love for me

In my dreams you came
You do every night
There was loneliness
For the two of us
Now I woke up

The dream could not be mine
I will not let you be lonely
Baby don't worry
I am the happist
Girl in the world

I will bring music
Our love is growing stronger
Day by day
Never forget it, neither will I
I taught you to love

Like you did me baby
You sent me a rose
It is your heart
With this letter
Comes your love

Near my heart
I am satisfied
We both are waiting for our eyes to meet
We will both have peace

I have come into your heart
Now into your house as the moon
Lands in our compound
To you I am coming
It won't be long

I will let you know the day and hour
It will be such a night..........
Baby our night is almost here
How shall we meet
I will call you and let you know

To join you I will leave
Then we can meet
Tonight we will be together forever
To me you are looking forward
I will come to you now

In your arms I will be
A letter to you I wrote
Soon you will get it.
I have sent you a rose
Through this letter

It is my heart

Heaven

Everynight I go to sleep, youre there baby inside my head
Whats the secret that you keep
Its not fair baby, I toss in bed
One night I had the strangest dream
Dreamt I made love to you
You better believe it, it felt so real
Spent the night in the sea of love
Its crazy the attraction that I feel, now baby
It hit like a heart attack, I feel in my soul
But the trains running off the track and I cant get control
Sleepwalking in the house of love
I heard saint peter was calling
As I was making love to you
Dreamed that Id died and gone to heaven
I woke up in your arms
Dreamed that I died and gone to heaven
Nothing now will ever be the same
Saint peter call me back again
Take me there baby, you got me good
I want to hear his choir of angels sing
I say a prayer baby, I knock on wood
That every night I wake up restless from the heat
You got to believe I never had such a physical dream baby
Its built on sacred ground, your image in my head
So I lay my body down on the alter of my bed
I wait in the house of love and hope for sleep to come calling
So Ill be making love to you
Dreamed that Id died and gone to heaven
I woke up in your arms
Dreamed that I died and gone to heaven
Nothing now will ever be the same
Dreamed Id died and gone to heaven
Dreamed my life was through
Dreamed Id died and gone to heaven, woke in love with you
It hit like a heart attack, it came from out of nowhere
But the trains running off the track on a fragile wing and a prayer
Sleepwalking in the house of love I heard saint peter was calling
As I was making love to you

Crippled!

when you take the crippled hand,
and put it to the plow...
a healing takes place!

when you take the crippled heart,
and put it with other wounded hearts,
compassion begins!

when you take the crippled spirit,
and teach it the words of freedom,
wings are loosed!

when you take the crippled man,
and restore his dignity...
he changes the world!

Sleeping on Horseback

We had rode long and were still far from the inn;
My eyes grew dim; for a moment I fell asleep.
Under my right arm the whip still dangled;
In my left hand the reins for an instant slackened.
Suddenly I woke and turned to question my groom:
'We have gone a hundred paces since you fell asleep.'
Body and spirit for a while had exchanged place;
Swift and slow had turned to their contraries.
For these few steps that my horse had carried me
Had taken in my dream countless aeons of time!
True indeed is that saying of Wise Men
'A hundred years are but a moment of sleep.'

Sonnet 14

Here, hold this glove (this milk-white cheveril glove)
Not quaintly over-wrought with curious knots,
Not deckt with golden spangs, nor silver spots,
Yet wholesome for thy hand as thou shall prove.
Ah no; (sweet boy) place this glove neere thy heart,
Weare it, and lodge it still within thy brest,
So shall thou make me (most unhappy), blest.
So shalt thou rid my paine, and ease my smart:
How can that be (perhaps) thou wilt reply,
A glove is for the hand not for the heart,
Nor can it well be prov'd by common art,
Nor reasons rule. To this, thus answere I:
If thou from glove do'st take away the g,
Then glove is love: and so I send it thee.

There's Nothing Better Than Love

ft. Gregory Hines

I fell asleep last night
And I dreamed the night
and almost half the day away
I just got up so that
I can hear her say
She's still in love
and no one can take her love away
Ooo love wakes me up everyday
And I thought no one
would ever make me feel this way
It feels me up everytime
I hear her say
She's still in love
and no one will take her love away
I wanna be love
[Chorus:]
There's nothing better than love
What in the world
could you ever be thinking of
It's better by far
So let yourself reach for that star
And go no matter how far
To the one you love
To love
And I mean all these words I said
And you don't have to guess
what's going on inside me head
Just try to know
All the things that our heart says
Listen to love and always
get love to lead the way
Whenever you love
[Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
You know for love
I'd go anywhere
I would go there
For love to the end of nowhere
And for your love
(And for your love)
I would

The Letter

Your letter arrived today.
I read through it with complete dismay.
For now I know that we'll never be together at the end of the day.
The door is shut all hope is gone.
I must find a different way to carry on.
Your letter sealed what I feared many years.
You do not hold me dear,
through my heart a poisned spear.
Now alls inside is spite and fear.
A cold patch of icy disdain.
Where once upon a time supreme amounts of love had lain.

So now it's time we part and take our own ways.
To save our lives to fight another day.
Your letter cut with the deepest scorn,
but from this treachery a new life is born.

Take heed my love a feel the day.
The futures ahead and for what we fare we must not dread.
Your letter sealed all that we had,
now I put this all to bed

Hiding Behind Ignorance

The beauty within you,
Is crippled by your mind.
Aggressive, hostile, selfish and shy.
The intelligence within you,
Is crippled by your mind.
Greed, dishonesty, prejudice and pride.
The love within you,
Is crippled by your mind.
Anger, hurt, cruelty and hate.
The happiness within you,
Is crippled by your mind.
Depression, envy, fear and regret.
The acceptance within you,
Is crippled by your mind.
Racism, violence, horror and crime.

A Girl's Autumn Reverie

We plucked a red rose, you and I
All in the summer weather;
Sweet its perfume and rare its bloom,
Enjoyed by us together.
The rose is dead, the summer fled,
And bleak winds are complaining;
We dwell apart, but in each heart
We find the thorn remaining.

We sipped a sweet wine, you and I,
All in the summer weather.
The beaded draught we lightly quaffed,
And filled the glass together.
Together we watched its rosy glow,
And saw its bubbles glitter;
Apart, alone, we only know
The lees are very bitter.

We walked in sunshine, you and I,
All in the summer weather.
The very night seemed noonday bright.
When we two were together.
I wonder why with our good-by
O'er hill and vale and meadow
There fell such shade, our paths seemed laid
Forevermore in shadow.

We dreamed a sweet dream, you and I,
All in the summer weather,
Where rose and wine and warm sunshine
Were mingled in together.
We dreamed that June was with us yet,
We woke to find December.
We dreamed that we two could forget,
We woke but to remember.

Remember You and I

Remember you and I
Remember the days we talked on the telephone forever,
Remember the nights we spent together,
Remember we dreamed they would last forever,
And we would never part,
The heart,
Does play tricks on the mind,
Like fools in love we were,
In the sands of time
Remember the long walks in the moonlight,
Your hand in mine, and I would hold you close and
Let the winds of life rush by,
Remember you and I
And of the life we dreamed,
And the thought of never saying goodbye,
Then I lied,
I became someone I was not
I broke your heart, and I can still see
The pain in your eyes,
And feel the hurt of your cries,
I remember you and I
When I close my eyes I dream of what could have been,
What never was to be, because of a foolish lie,
I paid the price, alone I dwell ,
Now twenty five years have passed,
You found love again and so did I,
And with family, love and time,
We can again say Hi, but in every second we speak,
I still remember your touch, your Kiss, your heart,
Your love, and all that could have been if only
I had not lied
I will always love you in part till the day I die,
And will forever
Remember you and I

I Woke Up In A Car

I woke up in New York City
From the steep behind the wheel
Caught a train to Poughkeepsie
And time stood still
She wrote me a letter from San Diego
To qualify her luck
These flights connect through Arizona
But I think I'll stay stuck
Here I am

I woke up in a car
I traced away the fog
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees
I've never been so lost
I've never felt so much at home
Please write my folks and throw away my keys
I woke up in a car

I met a girl who kept tattoos
For homes that she had loved
If I were her I'd paint my body
'Til all my skin was gone
She wrote me a letter
As we passed through Rockford
She said she won't forget
Maybe I do maybe I don't
But I know I haven't yet
But here I am

Maybe I could live forever
If not ever I had known
That you'd be waiting there whenever
I am all alone
But here I am

A love letter from me,
To you;
To say something important.

A love letter from me,
To tell a love story,
About you and me.

A love letter about friendship,
To strengthen our relationship,
And express our special feelship.

Love of life partnership,
Love of life friendship.

To say that;
You always miss me.

A love letter from you,
To tell that;
You always think of me.

A love letter written
For You, my love,
On this day.

Sealed With kisses, and

A Love letter seals,
With a lot of love, and

About love poem written,
In Remembrance of our sweet memory.

The Letters

i had a problem on my mind,
the answer to which was hard to find.
i tossed and turned throughout the night
and a knot in my stomach, which i could not fight.
i layed in bed, just abiding my time
waiting for daylight to arrive.
morning finally did come, sleep i had gotten some.
i got up out of bed, picked up the letter
that yesterday i had read.
there it was plain as day.
'sweetheart i love you, but i can't stay.
i must find what i am destined to do.
even if i must hurt my family and you.
i do not want to have a regret on my mind
because i did'nt get up to try.
so i leave you with my heart in hand
it was'nt something that i had planned.
i know that it will hurt my family and you
for i am going through the same hurt too.
you showed me all the beauties in the world
and i grew just like a pearl, but just like a pearl
i have to be shown and admired, and other
hearts, to be set on fire.
so i leave with tears in my eyes, and i must abide my time.
'this is the letter that i had read.'
and my heart was torn and bled.
weeks went by without a word, and to her family
she was not heard.
then i received a letter today, and in it she did say:

i searched the big cities and the towns
but the love i had gotten from all of you, was not to be found.
i did find something that touched my heart
and in me, has become a big part.
the love of a blind child, who was born without sight
who touched my heart with so much might.
he touched my face with his hands, and pulled them back right away
and with that he did say:
i am blind and i can not see, but i feel so much
pain etched in your face, and you left loved
ones without a trace.
you left loved ones with your heart in your hands
and it's something that they can not understand.
you left in search of something that you had all along
and that was a place that you could belong.
i survive because of the love that is shown
and eyes i do not need to see, something that may be hurting me.
if you are searching for something more
then go help the NEEDY AND POOR.
they need love and comfort too, and they belong to me and you.
i turned from the child and AGAIN ran away.
then that night to the LORD i cried and prayed.
when i fell asleep that night, in my dream
all of you were in plain sight.
all of you were beckoning me home, and your broken
hearts were shown.
so i ask you on bended knees, help me with what i've seen.
help me to help the poor, for this is my destiny
of which i'm sure.

she came home and we did marry, and now my baby she carries.
we are helping all in need, for in her
GOD did plant the seed.

I Want It All

Shes got an inner child
A little dream and a whole lotta wild
But as crazy as it is
It is who she is
She smiles she frowns
And shes sunshine and shes clouds
Emotional to say the least
But thats okay by me
Because when I fell. I fell hard
For every part
From the beauty in her eyes
To the little patch of scars
The good the bad
The happy and the sad
Her perfections and every little flaw
Because I want it all
Sometimes her lying eyes
And shes found some new laugh lines
But whenever she asks me
Its only beauty that I see
Because when I fell. I fell hard
For every part
From the beauty in her eyes
To the little patch of scars
The good the bad
The happy and the sad
Her perfections and every little flaw
Because I want it all
And when she falls asleep
I know shes dreamin a little dream of me
And in a moment you will see that its easy to believe
Yeah.
Because when I fell I fell hard
From every part from the beauty in her eyes
To the love thats in her heart
The good the bad
The happy and the sad
Her perfections and every little flaw
Yeah
I want it all
I want it all
The good the bad the happy and the sad
I want it all
The good the bad the happy and the sad
The good the bad the happy and the sad.

The Worried Dream

Written by Peter Green.
Well, I feel so bad - I wonder what's wrong with me
Well, I feel so bad - I wonder what's wrong with me
I think I'll call my baby, find out just what the matter can be
Last night I dreamed about my baby
I woke up and the tears were runnin' all down my face
Now, when I woke up - early this morning
The tears were runnin' all down my face
You know I was dreamin', that some other man was takin' my place
I said, I dreamed about you baby
I dreamed you didn't want me 'round no more
I said, I dreamed about you baby
You know I dreamed you didn't want me round no more
Now, That's the reason I'm callin' you this evening
Baby, tell me, 'cause I've just got to know
break:
I've been worried all day long
I just don't know what to do
I've been worried all day long
You know, I just don't know what to do
You know it may sound silly to you woman
But tell me that dream was not true

The Sleepers

Two sleepers dreaming different dreams
lay together but apart
of a differnt girl he dreamed
he stirred but didn't start.

Beneath a canopy of stars
on a blanket in the dark
he gently kissed her burn scared breasts
and swore they'd never part.

The other sleeper gently moaned
with her dream love in the dark
deft fingers probed her secret place
as they lay heart to heart.

she may have called a name, not his,
as she shifted in the dark
but is that infidelity
on imaginations part?

Her fellow sleeper also smiled
as he dreamed of love long past
of his promise, long forgotten,
to a love that did not last.
