Sonnet: If Not For Love
If not for love, this world cannot be good,
And peace cannot prevail in human race!
If not for love, all family members could
Become strangers and life would turn a maze!
If not for love, each mother need not nurse
Her offspring, rearing them with utmost care;
If not for love, life on earth would turn worse,
To do all heinous crimes, most men would dare.
If not for love, most beasts could turn extinct,
And wars could start for silly excuses;
If not for love, men could not have precinct
For God, and turn nomads and recluses!
If not for love, God need not create man,
And incarnate from womb of one woman!

Turn Away
I open my arms to hold you
You turn away you turn away
I feel it just like I told you
How can you turn away
The things that we said last saturday night
You turn away you turn away
Now you want to throw that away
How can you turn away
Bridge
It was true love it was you and me
And the sliver moon and the shining sea]
It was new but it felt to me
Just like love was suppsosed to be
Finally
And now your eyes wont meet mine
You turn away you turn away
I never want to taste that sweet wine again
How can you turn away
Bridge
And after this love Im keeping for you
You turn away you turn away
I never want to taste that sweet wine again
How can you turn away
Bridge
And after this love Im keeping for you
You turn away you turn away
Ill dry these tears that Im weeping for you
And take my turn to turn away yeah

When Will...?
When will tears turn to laughter?
When will sorrow turn to joy?
When will hate turn to love?
When will hurt turn into a giggle?
Why does laughter turn into tears?
Why does joy turn into sorrow?
Why does love turn into hate?
Why does a giggle hurt?
If all the peace has gone
If all the love turns to hate
And if all the joy turns sour
I will love you all my life
If there is no peace I will make it
If there is no love I will build it
If there is no joy I will cast it
If there is no laughter I will create it.

Love Will Turn
You can run you can hide never let it inside
Keep livinyour life in the dark
But sooner or later that gentle persuader
Is gonna catch up with your heart
Make you a dreamer, believer
Believinin love
Right when a mans doinall that he planned
And he thinks hes got just what he needs
Life will deliver a shock that will shiver
And drivinhim down to his knees
Make him start givin livinlivinagain
Well, its your mind, that tricks you in believinevery time
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Well, its your heart, that talks you into to stayinwhere you are
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Out of the blue she reaches for you
And you tell her you dont have the time
So you move away fast but you know it wont last
cause you cant get her off of your mind
Thoughts are burnin turnintheyre turninaround
How do you know when to stay or to go
And how do you know when its real
You dont need a sign to make up your mind
You got your heart at the wheel
You wanna start sharin carincarinagain
Well, its your mind, that tricks you in believinevery time
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Well, its your heart, that talks you into to stayinwhere you are
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Turn you around

Different scales
I like him. He, too, in turn.
We are in love. Good!
I like him. He is not so.
Still I like him. Better!
I like him. He hates me.
Still I like him. The best!
I love her. She, too, in turn.
We are in love. Good!
I love her. She avoids.
Still I pursue. Bad!
I love her. She despises.
Still I pester. Worse!
Love between same genders;
Love between opposite genders;
What a reversion!
When sex differs
Grades invert.
Why?
For introspection.

If I Could Turn Back The Hand Of Time
How did I ever let you slip away
Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day
And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door
[1] - If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine
Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day I pray please come back to me
[Repeat 1]
And you had enough love for the both of us
But I, I, I did you wrong, I admit I did
But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone, whoa
[Repeat 1]
I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (If I could turn back)
And never leave your side (If I could turn back)
If I could turn back the hands
There'd be nothing I wouldn't do for you
(If I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you
(If I could turn back)
If you accept me back in your heart, I love you
(If I could turn back the hands)
(If I could turn back)
That would be my will
(If I could turn back)
Darlin' I'm begging you to take me by the hands
(If I could turn back the hands)
I'm going down, yes I am
(If I could turn back)
Down on my bended knee, yeah
(If I could turn back)
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me
(If I could turn back the hands)
(If I could turn back)
If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall
(If I could turn back)
Then I'd come to realize how much I love you
Love you love you love you
(If I could turn back the hands)

I Love Me Some Him
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 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
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 love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

Love Is? ? ?
Love is biter,
love is pain,
without love we all be the same,
love can be lost and found again,
love can turn things upside down inside out,
love is a ride that is worth riding,
love can fill u up with laughter and tears,
Love is joy in many ways,
love can scar u for life,
love is all the joy in the world,
love is peace on paradise,
love can shine through many things,
love can help u through tough times,
love can keep me alive,
without love I don’t know what ill do,
love is all the pain and joy put together,
it can tear u apart,
love is built on friendship and trust,
love is believing in the one u love,
love is when u will do anything for ur special someone,
love is everything…

I Dont Want Your Love
I, dont mind, if youre keeping someone else behind,
I, dont care, cuz youve got something I can share,
Hey, take your chance, even if its only -
Only while were dancing in the light, of your second sight
Because when you understand me you might feel good around me now.
I dont want your love to bring me down.
I dont want your love so turn it around.
I, wont turn you out, if youve got someone else -
Someone else you care about, because you, must realize,
My obsessive fascination is in your imagination (now pick it up)...
I dont want your love to bring me down
I dont want your love so turn it around
(I dont what your love, I dont what your love)
Your rythym is the power - to move me
Its something you control - completely,
I dont want your love,
I dont want your love.
(I dont what your love)
-
I, like noise, cuz I like waking up the house
I cannot sit down, I cant shut my mouth,
But when you understand me,
You might feel good around me (now back it up)...
(chorus) (chorus)
I dont want your love.
(I dont what your love)
I dont want your love.
(I dont what your love)
I dont want your love to bring me down..
(I dont what your love)

Turn Up The Sun
I carry madness
Everywhere I go
Over a border
And back to the snow
So if you see me
And I look right through
You shouldnt take it
As a reflection of you
Come on, Turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone
Love one another
Love one another
The boys in the bubble
They wanna be free
And they got so blind
That they cannot see
But Im not your keeper
I dont have the key
I got a piano
I can't find the C
Come on, Turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone
Love one another
Love one another

Sonnet-On love 'in extremis
Don't love all things on earth with all your heart;
Let not your mind be drench'd with love for it;
For time decides that things all must depart,
And 'tis too late to break your love habit.
Love not your kith and kin in deeper ways;
Love not your Teacher too as God-like, nay;
Love not your spouse and parents deep, in case,
The others can't your love, ever repay.
For, separations come so oft in life;
Our earthly love can turn sometimes to hate;
Your friend who's best can bring you utmost strife!
And people could your love at times mistake.
Yet, love something if it deserves your love,
But more than men, give God your love above.

Love Is Just A Breath Away
Deep in the night, when youre
Away from me
Im reachin out just to touch you
In my dreams
Countin the hours till youll be
Here again
So hard to wait, got to have you
Close to me
cause baby
You, turn my nights to day
When your love, love is just a
Breath away
Somethin inside has taken
Over me
So baby, cant you see you
Captured my heart
I cant disguise the things you
Make me feel
I should have known this was
Magic right from the start
cause baby, you turn my nights to day
When your love, love is just a breath away
We, we dont have a word to say
Our hearts can speak a thousand ways
When love is just a breath away
Take me, take me into paradise
Show me
All the love thats in your eyes
Light up my life
You, you turn my nights to day
When your love, love is just a breath away
We, we dont have a word to say
Our heart can speak a thousand ways
When love is just a breath away

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,

Love Me Like That (feat. Sheryl Crow)
Well you sold my heart
And I'll get it back
But look me in the eye babe
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that oh oh
Well I walk this world
Five times or more
And after all this walking babe
You still got me crawling on the floor
Crawling on the floor
And I know this world keeps on turning
Keeps me yearning
How can you turn and walk away
Pretending everything's ok
How can you turn your back
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that oh oh
Well I thought you'd listen
But I'm shattered like broken glass
But I thought that we'd be different babe
Yeah I thought that we would last
Yeah I thought that we would last
And I know this world keeps on spinning
Every minute that you're in it
How can you turn and walk away
Pretending everything's ok
How can you turn your back
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like thatoh oh
Love me or leave me baby don't
Lead me on
With nothing like yours believe me I'm better off
I'm better off alone
Oh ooh
Well I was your Gypsy
Throwing diamonds at your feet
Drifting 'round you like a satellite
I gave you everything you need
Everything you need
And I know this world keeps on turning
Keeps me yearning and yearning
How can you turn and walk away
Pretending everything's ok
How can you turn your back
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that oh oh
How can you just break away
Why can't you find the words to say
Love is something you work at
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that
Why you love me like tha
