Rekindled
How can love be rekindled
from an ocean of tears?
How can love be rekindled
after separation of many years?
How can love do these things
the answer is I do not know;
only that it does
time and time again.
The torch within the heart that smoulders
is rekindled to a flame again
as old loves burn bright
as new loves in the night.

Keeper Of The Flame
Im the keeper of the flame
My torch of love lights his name
Ask no pity, beg my shame(? )
Im the keeper of the flame
Played with fire and I was burn
Gave a heart but I was spurn
All these time I have yearned
Just to have my love return
Years have passed by
The spark still remains
True love cant die
It smoulders in flame
When the fire is burning off
And the angels call my name
Dying love will leave no doubt
Im the keeper of the flame
Years have passed by
The spark still remains
True love cant die
It smoulders in flame
When the fire is burning out
And the angels call my love
Dying love will leave no doubt
Im the keeper of the flame

Quatrain #236 - No religion can claim a monopoly on God......
No religion can claim to really have a monopoly on God
as each is revealed in a different time and place by God.
When the light of love and truth fades in peoples heart and mind,
somewhere, somehow, sometime it's rekindled again in mankind.

He Loves You
His love will conquer anger
His love defies all words
He hears all the prayers that are spoken
And all the prayers unheard
His love is unconditional
He loves you when your wrong
He loves you when you disobey
His love for you is strong
He loves you when you stumble
He loves you when you fall
He loves us so much more than words
He really loves us all
He loves you when you call His name
He loves you when you cry
He loves you when your down and out
For us He sent his Son to die
He loves you when you're laughing
He loves you when you smile
He loves it when you praise His name
He loves you, you're his child
His love is never ending
Until the end of time
And once you just embrace His love
Your life will be just fine
For He's got the best intentions
Look at The Son of Man
Be honored through the joy & pain
You're a big part of His plan.

All Night
In the early morning hours
You and I were intertwined
We met, I saw your powers
Our love would last forever
Suddenly, there was a rift
We struggled to persevere
In the end we went adrift
And our love was nowhere near
And yet we both really cared
Stayed up all night and we talked
Rekindled the love we shared
We've been as one ever since
Till that fateful day arrived
When I held your hand all night
Then you slipped away my dear
But, I knew it was alright

Advice To Newlyweds
Love roosts better, while beds are warm,
and dreams are short,
the blood still curdles with the charm,
of young rapport;
Late in the night, when embers die,
then ceased its flaunts,
if not rekindled, love may fly,
to stranger haunts.

True Love Knocks Once
One fine day, the latter part of June
Old friends rekindled the flame of love
Magic was afoot that cloudy afternoon
A lazy sun played hide n’ seek above
They lunched n’ drank fine red wine
At a well known Portland rendezvous
They reminisced, two hearts combined
As hearts fused, time they did subdue
At last the magic spell was broken
A single kiss, a bittersweet farewell
‘Tho brief dormant love had woken
True love in hearts again did dwell
If love should knock n’ you entice
Swing wide the door…
As, true love rarely knocks twice

Ooh I remember those old love letters
Plagued with memories, I cant forget us
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out boy, it never ended
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
But your love it shines
In a cruel hard world
Its a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
Here in this apartment with oh too many rooms
Pearls once meant something, they brought me only gloom
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out boy, it never ended
Crime can fight it, lies can hide it
But your love it shines
In a cruel hard world
Its a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
Youd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up
Youd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up
In a cruel hard world
Its a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

A Rekindling
A new found passion,
an old flame.
A new expierence,
in an old fashion
A love renewed,
a passion rekindled.
Excitement.
Great expectations.
I am glad I found you,
My old friend.

When Somebody Loves You
When your heart is all alone every second
Seems so long
When its just you, you cant see through
Those ol clouds that rain so blue
But when somebody loves you
Theres nothing you cant do
When somebody loves you
Its easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
When its late, the sun hangs low
By yourself, nowhere to go
Sing a song, you dance alone
Play solitaire and stare at the phone
But when somebody loves you
Theres nothing you cant do
When somebody loves you
Its easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
So lets put aside our foolish pride
And let our hearts say hello
We both agree were just no good
At bein on our own
cause when somebody loves you
Theres nothing you cant do
When somebody loves you
Its easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
The way I love you
The way I love you

Why Cant He Be You
(hank cochran)
He takes me to the places you and I use to go
He tells me over and over that he loves me so
He gives me love that I never got from you
He loves me too
His love is true
But why cant he be you
He never fails to call and tell me Im on his mind
And Im lucky to have such a guy I hear it all the time
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too
His love is true
But why cant he be you
Oh hes not the one who dominates my mind and my soul
And I should love him so cuz he loves me I know
But his kisses leave me cold
He sends me flowers
Calls on the hour
Just to prove his love
And my friends say that when hes around
Im all he speaks of
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too
His love is true
But why cant he be you

How Does It Feel
I know that youre out there
Knowing that theres someone out here thinkin of you
In your heart and in your mind
I know there is no doubt that someone loves you
And I know that you know
That Ill be waiting here when you have need of me
And when the world has chained you down
I know you know my love will set you free
How does it feel to know that someone loves you
How does it feel to know that someones always thinkin of you
Oh and how does it feel to know that someone puts no one above you
How does it feel to know that someone loves you, someone loves you
I have come to know and love you
Like Ive never known or loved another
Words have not been made
That could describe these feelings we have for each other
And I would go to any length
To let you know at all times that I care
cause I want you to know
That any time you reach for me youll find me there
How does it feel to know that someone loves you
How does it feel to know that someones always thinkin of you
Oh and how does it feel to know that someone puts no one above you
How does it feel to know that someone loves you, someone loves you
Someone loves you, how does it feel to know it
Someone loves you, how does it feel to know that someone
Loves you, someone loves you, how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel to know that someone loves you
Somebody loves you, how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel to know that someone loves you
Someone loves you, somebody loves you
Somebody loves you, how does it feel to know it
Somebody loves you

Rekindled
Rekindled,
Under pressure,
Insisting,
Disagreed;
But i am satisfied with the work done so far!
For the landscaping is now like the sweet muse of your joy;
But try to heed to my remarks on this love.

Beyond The Daylight Reaches
Beyond the daylight reaches,
near the back roads of the mind.
Love lies waiting there
for some lucky person,
to pluck it from the air.
Memories of old loves
linger somewhere back there,
waiting to be rekindled,
like a dying candle flame.
Beyond the daylight reaches,
near the back roads of the mind.
The world’s great treasure
waits for someone to find.
The treasure of love,
one that will last forever.
The dream without ending,
all seek, but very few
ever get there to find.
A few will take the trouble,
and keep the desire warm
at the upper most of the mind.
Travelling down this dangerous road
that stretched out beyond the daylight reaches,
near the backs roads of the mind.
Seeking the ultimate prize,
they could ever hope to find.

A Lyric
My lady love lives far away,
And oh my heart is sad by day,
And ah my tears fall fast by night,
What may I do in such a plight.
Why, miles grow few when love is fleet,
And love, you know, hath flying feet;
Break off thy sighs and witness this,
How poor a thing mere distance is.
My love knows not I love her so,
And would she scorn me, did she know?
How may the tale I would impart
Attract her ear and storm her heart?
Calm thou the tempest in my breast,
Who loves in silence loves the best,
But bide thy time, she will awake,
No night so dark but morn will break.
But though my heart so strongly yearn,
My lady loves me not in turn,
How may I win the blest reply
That my void heart shall satisfy.
Love breedeth love, be thou but true,
And soon thy love shall love thee, too;
If Fate hath meant you heart for heart,
There's naught may keep you twain apart.

Picture
Meadow of matchsticks,
soon to be rekindled
by Spring the incendiary.
The exact flame of your blossoms
will ignite the passions
happily sapped by time--
Dripdrop their excess went
and now miners' hats
light up like love before
your vein, the frame of which
is there to depict the drift,
the waste when I painted
all the review copies
they sent me. But those books
open to polar pages where you
and I weigh the ends of this
teeter totem down, you
at the head and nadir me;
where postmortem is
the aura of self-portrait,
its other half regained at last.

He loves me, He loves me not
He loves me,
he loves me not
Like a fairy tale
a flower pedal
represents love,
but of course
He loves me,
he loves me not
There is no
I'm not sure's
or I like you, but's
just seven little words
He loves me,
He loves me not
There are no other girls
no jelousy or pain
no arguments, no humiliation
it all falls into
He loves me,
He loves me not
But what if...
it doesn't exist
if love is truly such a fairy tale
then explain this:
He loves me,
He loves me not
He loves me,
He loves me not
He loves me,
He loves me not
