Time is fleeting
Although my dearest beloveds
Have carried with them
A goodly portion
of my love and affections
My heart is not yet entirely
Locked within their coffins
And has still, (tho' direly diminished)
The enduring capacity to love…
And perhaps to be loved yet.
Tho' the key is now corroded
From abuse and misuse
And best be caressed
With a velvet glove
The locked keep
Tho' sequestered deep
Has space yet, for emotion
But can be unlocked only…
By love
My heart stays gamely beating
And my mind knows
Time is fleeting
And that the lock and key…
The very heart and mind
Of me
Will soon take flight
On the wings
of a snow white dove
And then I'll have
not to heed…
no longer will I need
Emotions such as love

Behind That Locked Door
(harrison)
Why are you still crying
Your pain is now through
Please forget those teardrops
Let me take them from you
The love you are blessed with
This worlds waiting for
So let out your heart, please, please
From behind that locked door
Its time we start smiling
What else should we do
With only this short time
I know to be here with you
And the tales you have taught me
From the things that you saw
Makes me want out your heart, please, please
From behind that locked door
And wherever my love goes
If Im rich or Im poor
Please let out my heart, please, please
From behind that locked door
From behind that locked door

Mind vs. Heart
Mind: It's too early
Heart: The timing's right
Mind: Do you really want to ruin your freindship?
Heart: I'll take a chance
Mind: You don'y really love him that much
Heart: I love him enough
Mind: He's too old for you
Heart: Time matters not compared to love
Mind: You haven't known each other very long
Heart: It was love at first write
Mind: Are you prepared to let yourself get your heart broken...again?
Heart: ....He's worth the pain
Mind: Are you ready?
Heart: Yes...Are you?

you have nowhere to go
your heart is trapped
locked in the gates of her cares,
your eyes are covered
by the gentleness of her gaze,
you are now caught in the truth of her love
you hands bound by her desires
your lips lost in her sweetness,
now you dwell in your weaknesses,
now you surrender to her longings
you now belong entirely to her,
with nowhere to go
you are doomed
to die in her bosom
as her chattel
her prized possession
her love mind you
has turned you
into a thing, a property
but you did not mind
your heart is made of wood
that which was real at first
was already taken
and this one does not matter
anymore any longer
there is no beating.

Words Get In The Way
I realize youre seeing someone new
I dont believe she knows you like I do
Your temperamental moody side, the one you always try to hide from me
But I know when you have some thing on your mind
Youve been trying to tell me for the longest time
And before you break my heart in two,
Theres something Ive been trying to say to you
But the words get in the way
Theres so much I want to say
But its locked deep inside and if you look in my eyes,
We might fall in love again.
I wont even start to cry, and before we say goodbye
I tried to say I love you
But the words got in the way
Your heart has always been an open door
But baby I dont even know you any more
And despite the fact its hurting me,
I know the time has come to set you free
But the words get in the way
Theres so much I want to say
But its locked deep inside and if you look in my eyes,
We might fall in love again
I wont even start to cry, and before we say goodbye
I tried to say I love you, but the words got in the way
Im trying to say I love you
But the words get in the way

Mind my heart
Oh it's so difficult
to love the frugal
the heart
locked in the mind.
Oh it's so difficult
to praise the modest
the heart
locked in the mind
Oh it's so difficult
to love those who hate themselves
Oh it's so difficult
to bring joy to the suicidal
but worth a try

Those Thoughts of Love
When I first gave my heart,
So fragile it was then.
It was quick to give love...
And quicker with one,
To let love in and begin!
And broken and mended,
Several times as I have aged...
I realize those love stages more,
Each and every day!
And those 'events' that sent me,
To despair in a shattered daze!
They no longer play with my mind...
And have fondly faded away.
I witness with growth today...
A valued appreciation within me now stays!
And I no longer find it as difficult...
To know love I can feel always!
And that selfishness,
To believe I can arrest another's love...
Has vanished from my mind,
Unknown and departed!
From this heart where love has started.
Those thoughts of 'love'
As I knew love in confinement...
Have simply with me has had its day!
Unconditionally in love I am,
And I love it!
In a phase that time brought with age!

Forever With You
Our journey was started years ago,
Alone we walked in time so slow.
Filled with heartbreak our memories past,
The future is now with us at last.
Together we walk, no longer alone,
Forming paved roads from stepping stones.
Overcoming sadness from time before,
Together we walk through a new door.
Keep me in your heart as I will for you,
Our love is strong, pure, and true.
We cannot deny this passion we found,
Our love is connected, tied, and bound.
I will love you forever as you will love me,
My heart was locked up, but you had the key.
And yours I unlocked with a key of my own,
Together our love was released and shown.
Forever will we love, forever will we fly,
Forever will we have this love of you and I.
Forever will we laugh, forever will we cry,
Forever will we walk together side by side.

Love Is Not What You Think It Is
It starts with a gentle feeling, then
It builds to a quiet yearning,
It might start to hurt, then,
You'll know all about the burning.
Feelings churning,
Mind exploding until you just,
You just drift in the warm glow,
Because now, now you know!
Love is...
Not what you think it is,
Love is...
A different colour every day,
Sometimes Love is...
A distant healing,
Sometimes Love is...
A detached feeling,
Love is...
Never wrong,
Love is...
The heart of a song,
Sometimes Love is...
The sound of a Dove,
Sometimes Love is...
More than you bargained for,
Sometimes Love...
Flies out an open door,
Love can...
Change you for evermore,
Love can...
Knock you to the floor,
Love can,
Bring you back for more,
We all have Love in our hearts,
The heart is the doorway to the soul, but,
The door is locked,
Love,
Love is the key that unlocks the door,
Love,
Love is the key to eternity,
Love,
Love is what will set us all free!
Love will...
Heal us all,
Love will...
Break down the walls,
Love Will...
Find you,
Love will...
Open our hearts,
Love will...
Hurt if you go too fast,
But Love will...
Always last.

The Heart Longs To Love
My poor heart longs to love
But it's still shattered from a brutal wound
My heart is yearning to love
Yet it can't find someone to love
My heart keeps beating, but it's not living
My heart wants to love & to be loved
Why can't my heart repair itself and love again?
My heart is useless
It's still ill, still broken, still weak
I want to love but my heart can't go on
Why can't my heart repair itself and love again?
My poor heart longs to love
It seeks for the warmth of loves' high, the fast beating of a new day
It can't go on looking for a non existing dream
It can't bring itself to repair and love again.
My poor heart longs to love.

Lost Love
It's getting so cold in my once warm heart
Just strangers, passing one another till we part
I let down my guard, what's left is this frosty chill
The sadness and emotion in my heart, they over fill
It's the beginning of the ending of the pain I must bare
My heart shattered, once again there's no one there
I'll build a fortress this time with a fence so strong and high
I'll never love again, never let anyone in till I die
Once again this is my fault, I trusted again, loved again
Never, never will my heart let a new love begin
The knife in my heart went too deep, the tears too many
I can't love again, the pain so deep, the scars there's plenty
Does he love me or not, It's over the show of love has ended
I don't ever want to feel anything, my heart can never be mended!

Hearts Like Ice
A Heart like ice
Lies cold and untouchable
Wrapped in a protective shield
Hiding from pain
It feels nothing at all
A Heart like ice
As unfeeling as a stone
Locked in a cage they created
Emotions are muted
Feelings of love are gone
Her heart like ice stays cold

Locked
locked, locked, locked
you've been locking your heart
knock, knock, knock
I just can knock in your head
to make you realize that I'm with you
stop, stop, stop
stop acting like that
hope, hope, hope
I hope you find love
that free you
there's so much things to be said and to do
there's so much moments you'll be missing to
but you don't want to answer, what can I do
if you still lock your
heart, heart
nothing can be
no, no, no
I won't leave you alone
round, round, round
always hanging around
to make you realize that you've been loved to
there's so much things to be said and to do
there's so much moments you'll be missing to
but you don't want to answer, what can I do
if you still lock your
heart, heart
nothing can be

Stuck With Mixed Emotions
You've got me,
Locked.
You've got me hinged.
You've got my heart to open up.
But you keep yours,
Hidden within.
I am locked.
And magnetized.
I feel as if a need is clinging,
To never let this feeling end.
You've got me locked.
You've got me hinged.
You've got my heart to open up.
But...
Your door stays closed within.
What am I to do?
You've got me stuck with mixed emotions.
What am I to do?
I can't saddle up and leave.
What am I to do?
You've got me stuck with mixed emotions.
And,
I'd rather not be sure...
Than be sure I've been delusioned.
You've got me locked.
You've got me hinged.
You've got my heart to open up.
But...
Your door stays closed within.
What am I to do?
You've got me stuck with mixed emotions.
What am I to do?
I can't saddle up and leave.
What am I to do?
You've got me stuck with mixed emotions.
And,
I'd rather not be sure...
Than be sure I've been delusioned.

Age Old Feelings
For this woman, his heart doth treasure
And in his soul, he will always treasure
In her heart, naught these feelings lay
But like a game, with him she'll play
Broken hearted, he cries heavy tears
Such tears had not been shed
For so long a time as to be forgot
Such a time he had such a thought
That a sacred love he would never find
And to said love, he would become blind
A fair young maiden in her tower sits
Between her heart and mind, she is split
Her mind demands she do what she must
Her heart to her mind may never trust
For her heart is where true love lies
Yet in her mind, that same love dies
How can love live and die at the same time?
It seems that thought would be known as crime
To her, True lover seems so far away
But in truth, that love will come one day
They met by chance, it seemed too late
But in his heart, it seemed like fate
She was so scared as was he
More in love, they could not be
But because the fear was combined with love
It did not seem it could last for long
They felt the joy but also the fear
He tried to help, she tried to hear
But she was too afraid to heed
So what he did was show her whats real
Not the things of want but that she was his only desire
Heart Love And Passion
If I had a heart to give
If I had the mind to tell you
If I the song to show you how much I loved you
On you my mind stays
The beat of our heart sways
I want you to feel what I'm feeling
And me to feel what you're feeling
This life is power
This love is deep
At the end of the night
It's this love that sleeps

In The Sky
In the deep blue sky
I see your eyes
Your always watching over me
The days im locked inside you have te key
Sometimes your touch is gentle like a deer
You can always take away my fear
Innocent like a snow white dove
Who is always filled with love
Deep inside my heart
Nothing stands to keep us apart
In the broken mirror i still see you
I know your here somewhere
Your my angel in the sky
And once i cross the oceans seas
Ill look into your eyes
And see im finally home

Hidden
your sweetness remains hidden
through your muted silence
the warmth of your embrace
locked in the coldness of your dreams
when will ever they be
exposed with the sun?
your longing for love
remains locked
in the unknown dome
within the frozen sentiments
of your blinded eyes
unseen by the uncaring heart
of an unknown explorer
of the deep abyss
of a calous mind
what a waste of beauty and charm
only to be hidden within the praise
of someone's heart
lost in a maze of
bottled up emotions
of an uncaring soul...
EXPOSED DO NOT HIDE..HATE THAT WASTE.....
