Sonnet 13
no abstruse thought can claim my heart.
soon mind changes to simpler view.
complexities vanish and depart.
simple mind returns in thought to you.
then my mind gains true wings
and journeys far afield fed on love.
exchanging grace for grace, love brings
a sense of peace, disquiet to remove
and motion cease in restless brain.
quickened action takes hold within.
serene calm towards which i strain
comes unasked for once again!
so abstruse 'tis simple, love's effect
passes understanding of brain's aspect.

When You're In Love
When you're in love
You don't know much about it
Not in your mind
Romantic love
Rots the brain, no doubt about it
You're out of your mind, you're out of your mind
Seeing things like your heart with wings
Then you hear violin strings playing
Feel all the things that you feel you should
You would lie, you would kill, you would die
At least that's what you're saying
The worst thing is that you really would
When you're in love
You don't know much about it
Not in your mind
Romantic love
Rots the brain, no doubt about it
You're out of your mind, you're out of your mind
Six thousand million people in the world
And you say there's just one
The only one, and you must be together
And if they love you the pain is so sweet
And it just gets better and better
And if they don't
You want them more than ever
When you're in love
You don't know much about it
Not in your mind
Romantic love
Rots the brain, no doubt about it
You're out of your mind, you're out of your mind

Sonnet 2
my mind's eye from outer eye remove.
make senseless the argument of sense
that beauty not subject to sense prove
nor object to time that takes you hence.
then, mind from eye withdrawn,
in dark, sense may shine bright
and mind itself your beauty form,
forming mind to your illuminate.
but not thought's sense to hear
nor sense of mind in sense feel,
dimensional sight and intelligent ear
bereft of mind from mind would reel.
no war between your feature and form
exists except in eye - that does harm.

0081 The Metaphysical Path of Love
Of God Himself can no man truly think;
Creator He, beyond all human thought;
yet questing intellect oft scans the brink
of what of Him may yet, in truth, be sought;
and if that questing grow to firm intent,
it clears the mind of all that blocks its path;
takes on a godly aim, all on Him bent,
and sharpens our devotion's godly dart.
And yet, though God's not thought, He may be loved;
so, leaving all those things that we can think,
take up - our mind now clear - the path of love,
and choose in love, that thing we cannot think.
God's grace: when thought surrenders all to love,
Love's bounty showers thought from heaven above.

In The Ocean of Sense
In the Ocean of sense
thoughts flow in its depth
has no beginning no ending
something mind and brain hail
Tries with the ladder
travels far and far
runs like a horse here to there
When finds something of interests
returns to its dwelling abode
takes a chair with cheering face
If found nothing in the Ocean
returns being tired of haze
even in sleeping keeps open its race
Soul pours sense and sense sails thoughts
thought sails mind to be with that
all are with instinct thoughts need to ride
at last in the Ocean swims pride.

0175 Love's Butterfly
As butterflies with beauty grace the air,
so love cannot be lazy in its love;
true love brings lovely energies to bear;
love's actions grace the true contemplative.
devoted action is the path we tread
when stirred at first by love of love's first cause;
to purge our souls of that we wish us rid;
such tasks may grace our caterpillar days.
humility - which is to know pure self,
seen clearly as the light of bad and good -
brings contemplation's share in godly wealth;
those shining works which are love's neighbourhood;
then we God's goodness, truth and beauty share;
as butterflies with beauty grace the air.

Forsaking My Love
I hate you
I wish to tear you away from me
This tumor that clings to my chest
The thing that makes me ache
That haunts my dreams
And tears at my desires
You have brought me only pain
My untamed heart
That beast that gnaws at my soul
That pitifully whines
Bringing my mind into unwanted pain
Yet how can I blame you
How can I chastise you when I listen intently to your pleas
Why should I punish you for what my eyes feed upon
How can I blame my eyes for falling upon her
She who brings light to the eternal darkness of my soul
She whose eyes bring me to subjection
Whose smile leaves me in awe
How can I blame you when my ears are met with her laughter
How they submerge into her song
How they quiver at her voice
Why should I punish you for inclining my soul
Tempting it with the one sense that has been forsaken by her
How could I look over the thought of the brushing of lips
The touching of hands
The binding of the soul, mind, and body
O you wretched heart
What am I to do with this constant companion
How could I tear you away
When she is the cause of my agony
Or rather
It is the lack of her which brings me sorrow
It is the need for her that leaves my heart in pain
Yet she is not mine
She was never mine
She will never be mine
O my poor heart
How can I make you see reason
When all you do is show me the truth

Sitting on the block without any love

Its your heart just let mind play again

With You On My Mind
(nathaniel cole, charlotte hawkins)
(with you on my mind,
With you on my mind)
With you on my mind,
How can I do anything?
With you on my mind,
All the time remembering.
Got an achin heart
Thinkin how it used to be.
With you on my mind,
When you gave your love to me.
I believed in your love (your love)
Thought I was your true love (true love),
But you found a new love (new love)
Who changed your mind (who changed your mind).
Now that you are gone,
I just seem to spend my time
Feelin so forlorn,
With you always on my mind.

The Beginning
The beginning saw existence of a chosen dream
But then came pain
With energy striking on those she knew would uncover her lies
She knew she must destroy everything that we had prayed for
So she sent shameful claim in her lies
She wants us to be what's going on in her mind
Music takes you round and round and round and round and round
Hold on to the love
Hold on to the love
The music takes you round and round and round and round and round
Hold on to the love
Nah Nah Nah Nah
Hold on to thelove
We are smiling
She wants us to be what's going on in her mind
If she is to take over she must prevent unity
But oh how cold her life must be
She knows she must destroy everything that we had prayed for
So here comes shameful claim in her lies
Music takes you round and round and round and round and round
Hold on to the love
Hold on to the love
Music takes you round and round and round and round and round
Hold on to the love
Smiling again
Hold on to the love
Nah Nah Nah Nah
Hold on
Nah Nah Nah Nah
Hold on
Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah
Hold on

Hold on
Hold on to the love
The music takes you round and round and round and round and round
Hold on to the love
Hold on to the love
Music takes you round and round and round and round and round
Hold on to the love
Hold on to the love
Hold on
Round and round and round and round and round
Hold on to thelove
Go round go round but Hold on to love
Hold on to the love
Music takes you round and round and round and round and round
Hold on to thelove
Go round
Go round
Hold on to thelove
So hard for me to try and tell you how I feel
Ahno no no love
Go round
Gonna hold on
Go round yeah
But hold on to love
The music takes you round
It takes you round and round and round
But hold on to love

Too Much To Think About
Sister help take this pain from my heart
Help me stand up and find out whats right
Dont want to exist here in the dark
When the gates of eden offer so much light
But theres too much to think about
Too many problems in my brain
Yeah, theres too much to think about
How could I ever make up my mind
Young man lay down your guns
And hold your woman in your arms
The concretes not worth dying fo
They say theres more to this life
But theres too much to think about
Too many problems in my brain
Yeah, theres too much to think about
How could I ever make up my mind
So what am I living for
They say the truth is not hard to find
Its right here in front of my eyes
If I could just open my heart sometimes
But theres too much to think about
Too many problems in my brain
Yeah, theres too much to think about
How could I ever make up my mind
But theres too much to think about
Too many problems in my brain
Yeah, theres too much to think about
How could I ever make up my mind
Make up my mind

I Always Thought Id See You Again
Written by: tim james, steven mcclintock, phil coleman and george tobin
No, Im not making that promise again
Nothing can change my mind
Nothing at all
cause love has a way of comin undone
till Im all alone with my heart
And here Ill stay
And I always thought Id see you again
Oh how it hurts, every time youve crossed my heart since then
Gonna give it all it takes
To hold what might have been,
But I always thought Id see you again
Now theres no reason to run for the phone
No need to hold my breath
Hopin its you
Each time I see someone we used to know
Or go some place we used to go
Its not the same
cause I always thought Id see you again
oh how it hurts every time
Youve crossed my heart since then
Gonna give up all it takes
To hold what might have been cause I always thought Id see you again
Love doesnt come when you need love
Its not always there when you fall
Try as you may, you got nothin to say
Nothing at all
I always thought Id see you again
Oh how it hurts every time
Youve crossed my heart again
Gotta give it all it takes
To hold what might have been
Cause I always thought Id see you again
Cause I always thought Id see you again

Loves Cacophony
For a love which seems so simple
That with quiet ease it must ring true
A rousing chorus does sound
Which deafens the calls of sanity
Should love be an illness of the mind
A sick note to the heart
Let it play and be sung in my own
That I am maddened by the sounds
The words of love which speak
Make no sense but to themselves
The song of which this word does sing
Let me be lost in their melody
Confused in their chorus
And drawn to their verse
Oh the words and sounds of love
How simple they claim to be
I find myself happily lost
In loves cacophony

Hold You Now
If I could just hold you now
If I could just feel you now
I wouldn't be standing out in the rain
Pounding my heart back through my brain
If I could just hold you now
If I could just get inside
If I could just read your mind
I wouldn't be shaking this hard tonight
Wouldn't be choking back all this pride
If I could just hold you now
How many times can we try to keep this grace of love alive
How many tears can I tell you all the things you need to hear
If I could just hold you now
If I could just feel you now
I wouldn't be standing out in the rain
Pounding my heart back through my brain
If I could just hold you now
Ain't funny we had it all
Ain't it funny how it might fall
Guess we're just
But it felt so real, it felt so right
If I could just get inside
If I could just read your mind
I wouldn't be shaking this hard tonight
Wouldn't be choking back all this pride
If I could just hold you now
How many times can we try to keep this grace of love alive
How many tears can I tell you all the things you need to hear
If I could just hold you now
If I could just feel you now
I wouldn't be standing out in the rain
Pounding my heart back through my brain
If I could just hold you now
Woah, if I could just hold you
Woah, yes I should've told you
If I could just hold you now
If I could just feel you now
I wouldn't be standing out in the rain
Pounding my heart back through my brain
If I could just hold you now

Why I Love You My Beloved
Why I Love you my beloved
Why my love for you is so strong
How my heart's strings begins to vibrate
Every time that you fall to my mind
Why when I hear your name my soul gets wings
And like the baterfly begins to fly
Why I forget every reason that should make me hate you
Believe me when I say even I don't know
Yet the emotions of the love are so hard to be described
But only thigh that I'm sure from
That I do love the love because of your love
Yet I believe that the real love doesn't need a reason
To come true
It's so simple and clear
It's like to be or not to be
It's like to live or to die
To choose the Black or the white
It's so simple yet hard to be found
This is what's called the real love.

Life, Love, Friendship, Work. - my book title.
Life can be short or long, do not rush your time.
Relax, count your blessings, learn from mistakes, avoid crime.
Stay calm, look into the face of trouble or sickness,
Know that all shall pass, ignore it, soon you don't have to
First, love yourself, that is the main commandment,
Find peace, understanding within yourself, be in it persistent.
Forcing someone to love or like you back has no value,
Wait for those who do it from the heart, give love which is true.
Open your mind for satisfying friendships,
Which comes with true understanding and support like pleasure trips.
All partners should learn from each other,
Neither bullies, dictates, forces, but behaves in a good manner.
When you work, do your best and have self confidence,
Let nobody have any reason to prove your incompetence.
If some still do, unjustly trying to destroy your peace,
Stay calm, be polite, eventually this problem your mind will release.
Look into the future with faith in Goodness and true Wisdom.

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do
I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do
All those days and lonely nights
Have all gone away
I never thought the day would come
When we'd more than friends
You made me smile when I was down
You turn my world around
The way you give me love feel so right
You took the ease off my mind
And put it behind
You were there for all my needs
So baby - stay

I'll never love this way again

Another man will never do
I love me some him
I'll never love this way again

Just like a dream come true
I wished for you
I have never been so happy 'bout love so new
You opened my heart to a brand new start
My love's there wherever you are
I won't let no one take you away
You took the ease off my mind
And put it behind
You where there for all my needs - yes
I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do
'Cause you came along
And changed my life
Told me things would be all right
And they were thanks to you
And now I have the strength to carry on
In my heart you have a home
And I never want to be alone
I love me..
I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

I'll never love this way again
I love me some you

Thoughts
Mind is pre occupied with thought
No win even after battles fought,
No results even after lessons taught,
No peace despite comforts bought,
Is that we have gone so much insane,
Our prestige at low and efforts in vane,
Roads all clear and deserted lane,
Sky too calm but only noise of plane,
Nothing will improve or find change,
Look even shabby even you arrange,
Does not require outward finish,
It is sign of doom’s day and perishes,
Reforms in thoughts and sincere action,
Will bring all change without any question,
World at large will have joy and benefit,
Simple thought and no brake or limit,
What I am searching in selfish world,
What I look around and develop feet cold,
Do I lack vision or ideas bold?
Do I stand on slippery land and not properly hold?
It is senseless thought war only in mind,
Never parallel in history you find,
Mind vicious and no place for views kind,
All ready to give you push from behind,
Who should I trust and whom to avoid?
Find no excuse or reason solid,
Will have to use mind and common sense,
Must leave behind thoughts and tense,
I failed to distinguish what is wrong or right,
Unnecessary quarrel and useless fight,
Peace will elude and goal not in sight,
Will emerge end of tunnel with bright light

So Simple
It would be, it would be
It would be so simple
What is
And what it was
What should it be
When it comes to you
And how it seems
And how it is
There's been a change
When it comes to me, yeah
Oh baby you, oh baby me
Oh maybe we can try another day, another way
All in my mind,
I'm wondering why,
We can not find what was left at the beginning
If I could kiss you again
If I could kiss you again
If I could kiss you again
It would be, it would be so simple
Cause I would love you again, hold you again
Kiss you again
It would be, it would be,
Could it be, could it be so simple
Now it's hardly simple
It's just simply hard, when it comes to you and
I'm by myself
Not being myself
Just to avoid all this confrontation with
Oh baby you, oh baby me,
Oh maybe we, can put this armour down and settle down
Oh it's off track
That is a fact
Can we get it back, get it back to the beginning
If I could
Kiss you again
Kiss you again
Kiss you again
It would be, it would be so simple
Cause I would love you again, hold you again, kiss you again
It would be, it would be,
Could it be, Could it be so simple
Don't you know that it would be
Don't you know that it would be
Don't you know that it would be

Kiss you again
Kiss you again
It would be, it would be so simple
Cause I would love you again, hold you again, kiss you again

Birthday wishes
Let me wish you many more happy and bright days
I wish to be guided by you in my own ways
Will you hold me forever and take to the end
Many best wishes of the day for you to be sent
What a beautiful wishes to offer in a particular way?
Wishing many many happy returns of the day
Has it not become customary to wish bright sun in cloudy atmosphere?
Do we wish it as mere formality or simple necessity is there?
These were the simple questions hounding me as an individual
I never thought I was playing dubious role which seemed not real
I found convincing answer for wishing a beautiful and real friend
Lot many good wishes with rose petals to send
What am I and what brings me to you? I asked to friend
“Why it happens to me”if I take it as true?
I always think of taking your care
No matter how far and where you are
You were so nice and kind
I consider myself lucky to find
You are like precious gem
I wish to keep you in mind with frame
I may not use polished language
It may not be proper or appropriate
I shall cherish the long memory of school days
We might have not carried along and parted ways
You are like towering strength
For you I may go to any length
I might look little different
Love may be seen as true and apparent
Rose may have its own fragrance
Friendship has got its own elegance
I always towards sky and glance
Think of meeting you by chance
It might not become possible to see you in person
I think I might have to wait for coming good season
Rain may dropp from clouds in usual manner
Tears may role out from eyes later or sooner
We may not wishing a person for no reason
Birthday brings good opportunity for liaison
It is meeting of mind with intense feelings
Intense hatred too may melt without concealing
It may pave the way for happy occasion
Two hearts may unite if taken proper decision
It is of course unique way of dealing
Wounds may dry up with careful healing
Wish from the heart if you happen to garland
Embrace with deep love if she is your girlfriend
Gender may not bar you from exchanging messages
It has all kind off warmth without feelings of ages
