Adair
Maybe she is your angel but Adair will be with me always,
Maybe she is your lover but Adair will be with me always,
So come and let me take you to the room of our love;
And there i will teach you about the care of love and peace.

Lily Adair
On the beryl-rimmed rebecs of Ruby,
Brought fresh from the hyaline streams,
She played, on the banks of the Yuba,
Such songs as she heard in her dreams.
Like the heavens, when the stars from their cyries
Look down through the ebon night air,
Were the groves by the Ouphantic Fairies
Lit up for my Lily Adair—
For my child-like Lily Adair—
For my heaven-born Lily Adair—
For my beautiful, dutiful Lily Adair.
Like two rose-leaves in sunshine when blowing,
Just curled softly, gently apart,
Were her lips by her passion, while growing
In perfume on the stalk of her heart.
As mild as the sweet influences
Of the Pleiades 'pregning the air—
More mild than the throned Excellencies
Up in heaven, was my Lily Adair—
Was my Christ-like Lily Adair—
Was my lamb-like Lily Adair—
Was my beautiful, dutiful Lily Adair.
At the birth of this fair virgin Vestal,
She was taken for Venus' child;
And her voice, though like diamond in crystal,
Was not more melodious than mild.
Like the moon in her soft silver splendor,
She was shrined in her own, past compare,
For no Angel in heaven was more tender
Than my beautiful Lily Adair—
Than my dove-like Lily Adair—
Than my saint-like Lily Adair—
Than my beautiful, dutiful Lily Adair.
Thus she stood on the arabesque borders
Of the beautiful blossoms that blew
On the banks of the crystalline waters,
Every morn, in the diaphane dew.
The flowers, they were radiant with glory,
And shed such perfume on the air,
That my soul, now to want them, feels sorry,
And bleeds for my Lily Adair—
For my much-loved Lily Adair—
For my long-lost Lily Adair—
For my beautiful, dutiful Lily Adair.

Love Is In The Heart
Don't listen to what the neighbors say
Love is in the heart
Don't listen to what your friend's all say
Love is in the heart
Poeple try to give you their advice
But all I know is I feel her heartbeat
Even though we're apart
our hearts feel what others don't realize
Love is in the Heart
Don't listen to what the books say
Love is in the heart
Don't listen to that love advice
Love is in the heart
When my darling text's Goodnight
I feel safe and loved thought the night
If this love was a meal it would be supersize
our hearts feel what others don't realize
Love is in the Heart
This love is a personal thing
It has an emotional ring
that makes my heart feel alive
and make me want to sing
Don't listen to what others bring
Love is in the heart
Don't listen to what the neighbors say
Love is in the heart
Don't listen to what your friend's all say
Love is in the heart

Brokenhearted Melody
I knew a woman
Treated me kind
Gave her all my dreams
Though she didn't know
Or if she did, she didn't say
I knew a woman
Mysterious and fine
Gaver her all my love
Seemed like, in a nick of time
But she didn't stay, didn't stay
I knew a woman
Soft and gentle
Stayed on my mind, on my mind
No need for sympathy
Maybe another day
I knew a woman
I never could let go
She was in my heart
No matter where I'd go
Come what may, come what may
I knew a woman
Think of her all the time
She couldn't feel my love
She's gone, no worries
Don't remind, Don't remind
Got to go now
Running out of time, runnin' out of time
A memory in my heart and mind
Would have loved her
For all time, for all time, don't remind
One day a sweet angel's going to find me
Rest this weary heart of mine
Going to love me for all time
Everything's going to somehow work out fine
Hope I've still got time, pray I've still got time

Upon A Star
I'm wishing upon a star
Don't know where you are
or if your heart is free
to fall in love with me
I'm wishing upon a star
the one that twinkles in the sky
I really don't know how
and I really don't know why
But somehow I know
at least I hope and dream
for you to come along
oh please don't be long
because all I've wanted is a home
someplace that I belong
I'm wishing upon a star
Don't know where you are
but I can feel you somewhere in the sky
and I really don't know why
somehow I feel your tender kiss
and oh your hand so warm in mine
you're the only one I miss
for such a long long time
oh hurry to my side
becasue my heart is open wide
I'm wishing upon a star
Don't know where you are
Just know you must be near
oh please don't be far
I feel so down and blue
just hanging on
can't make it without you
oh please I hope you come along
and help me find the words
to write our sweet love song
I'm wishing upon a star
Don't know where you are
or if your heart is free
to fall in love with me

I Am Not The Freight Train
I am not the freight train
I am not the rail or the wheel
I am not the conductor or the caboose
I am not the the mail car
Neither the dining car nor the meal
I am not the rail or the spike
I am not the timbers or the pike
I am not the hammer or the strike
Neither the coal nor the fire
Neither the electricity nor the wire
I am hard and cold
I glow red and gold
and rust as I grow old
strong and bold

hard ened
quenched

annealed
I Am Steel!

Star Wars
STAR WARS
God was not happy with the goings-on
Resolved to punish the mankind harshly once
Locked himself in the Master-switch room
With a molten red face of anger and disgust
He thought of sending all the natural forces
But, man has conquered each of them long back
When He tickled upon viruses and epidemics
Earth is securely immune and fully vaccinated against
On test, God sent a big fire ball down
But our Mr. Red Adair **, was there to fight it alone
Now, God has no levers to pull
To cause havoc or deter the peoples down
God was tired, self-defeated and was ashamed
To realize that He is no more omnipotent
Wanting a truce under a forced ceasefire
He came out with His head down, holding a white flag on
(Mr. Red Adair is an oil-well fire fighting expert from US)

Friends Can Sense
There are degrees of problems
a friend can sense when one of their freinds is hurting
It may be very sublte
or not so subtle
but a friend can tell
A friend will always come to the aid of their friend
this is what freinds do
A friend will always try to comfort
or lessen your burdon
or to make a frown into a smile
A friend will put aside differences
in times of trouble
and forget grudges
when they sense the there is an urgent problem
I have a friend who is hurting
I don't know how or why
but I sense something is wrrong
I wish and hope there is some way I can help
Because she has only been a friend to me

Remaining Silent Is Not Love
Love is unafraid to speak
Love is bold
Love is Truth
Love perseveres
Love has no bounds
Love knows not fear
So love often is the voice that points out an offense
Love is often the voice that stands up and says 'NO! '
Love is the voice that battles injustice
Love is the voice you wish to turn off because the truth hurts
Often the very one we run from..is the one who loves us most
But love forgives
Love will take you back in
And when you know Love your heart will mend
And you will smile again

Teach Me Not Because
teach me not
of hatred.my heart
cries for love true and pure
teach, me not of wars
my mind had not come across
what is meant of prison cells
i do not wish to chase white doves
and put them in a cage
die of hunger
i want them to live peacefully
freely...dance with the wind
rest on white clouds
for they are the keeper of peace
not just on earth but also in heaven.
teach me not
of isolation and despair
i want to live among men
care for their plight
sing for them the songs of the lark
and their dreams be of a place
where sadness is but a dream
and not a stark reality..
teach me not to hate silence
for it is a virtue and a medium
to know better the beats from within
for i know that noisines drives
away the goodnesss of the heart
and the beauty of the soul..
teach me not to hate
teach me not of wars
teach me not of despair
teach me not of isolation
but..
teach me how to appreciate peace
teach me how to love
teach me how to care
teach me how to share
because i only wanted
to be an instrument of peace
of love
of care
of compassion
of serenity
because
i am
a man
a loving creature
of....

My Angel The Lover
Once I saw an angel with a broken wing,
a piece of heaven was left alone,
this angel had no force to go back.
My angel then told me he needed me,
My answer was,
I am no angel you can trust on.
He told me that he needed me to stay alive,
that maybe I was no angel to him,
but that I was his own piece of heaven.
With a broken wing, laying on the ground,
I saw through his dark inocent eyes,
my angel became a lover,
and I became the beloved one.
This couldn't happen.
He was an angel, I was demon.
I was going to hurt him,
But he no longer fear that,
the only thing he could take care of was his love.
My heart broke into pieces,
but while the pieces were falling I understood,
I am no angel,
but I could love..
Suddenly I felt in love with the angel,
''The lion felt in love with the lamb''
The demon became angel,
a lover,
another being...
Love can make us change,
it can heal wounds,
and create new ones too..
It will take us to new places,
it will have no pride,
It will have no prejudice,
love will only happen,
and as my angel,
sometimes we have to break a wing,
to reach what we love.

Love and Faith
All we have is love and faith
So much of life is fragile
We learn
And can be taken away
So much can go astray
But for love and faith
The last things to leave us
The first we hope for when we stray
The two things we pray
Even when heath and youth wither away
We may or may not feel loved ourselves
But if we have love in our heart we are truely blessed
And if we have faith we have what is best
Because God will see us through the rest

One of My Ancient Ones* 'My Angel
You are my angel-
My pretty angel.
Let me hold you tight,
Won't you love me tonight?
My angel,
My dear, sweet angel,
You make me feel so right.
My darling angel,
You are my destiny...
Let me be your fantasy.
Please show your heart to me.
My Angel, you mean so much to me....
I'd follow you across the sea.
Angel, please open your arms to me.
I'm hoping you will see,
Just what your love means to me.
My dearest angel,
Put desire in flight.
We'll soar like a kite,
For love is in sight.
My sweet angel,
Make me your lover.
We'll love each other....
For you are my angel,
And I'll love no other.
If You Should Dream
If you should dream
Dream that you are so lucky
To share your dream with someone
Be so bold as to dream of love
Because a dream that has not love
Is destined to fall to earth
and dreams are not earthly

I Don't Want A Lover (2001 Mix)
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You can just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day it would come
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
It's always a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before
Once but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you'll need me then
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love
You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
There's just no room in there for me
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love

Guitar In A Stand
My guitar sits in a stand
rosewood neck
and maple bridge
chrome pegs
and stainless steel frets
six steel & brass strings
silent now
and no songs
for my fingers she longs
without regrets
upon her strings
a part of my heart
but she gives feelings in me wings
But there she sits silently
just an inanimate thing
that comes to life somehow
when I feel alone
and overfilled with the sadness
that life seems to bring
she makes me somehow
want to play and sing
through tears and everything
and in the end she says it's OK
somehow she understands
and now I look at her there
in her stand
and get up and walk across the room
to hold her in my hand
and play a little Bell Bottm Blues
and Little Wing
she allows this weary heart to sing
as if it meant something
I think when I'm dead and gone
this guitar will carry on
the memory of my feelings
and the memory of my hands
to another player
who has a similar feeling
and who understands
and listens to each note that rings
and makes them think of love and things
Or maybe it will have meaning to someone
or sit in a case or upon a wall
I wonder about it all
but me I hear something
between each note
as I bend the string and listen
a blue note
reminds me of you
and how your smokey eyes appear to glisten
and of your soft kind way
and from far away
my heart hesitates
and skips a beat
and dreams
and listens
and makes it's way to you

Indary
Bless these children and,
Teach them the positive ways of life only;
For, i am Indary with the works of peace.
I need joy where i am,
I need peace where i am,
I need love where i am,
I need unity where i am,
For, i am Indary with the works of peace.
The romance of love,
The joy of peace,
The muse of life,
The peace of the mind,
The care of passion,
And like your beauty in the land of care! !
But, try to teach these children to do the right thing always.
