The Fragment
Look at the surroundings
Interpreted, upon the wide
Waste of liquid ebony
On which
Thus we were born
In a few thoughts
I perceive above and below
Visible fragments
Large and small
Helplessly embraced
In a spiraling whirl
My Natural curiosity
Began to watch
With a strange interest
Of these on goings
They seemed to respond
To my change of emotions.
Its blackness verbed
A Helpless cry
Sparking a strength deep inside
Of love I have always craved
I never knew
My love had pulled you through

Helplessly In Love
Never knew the closing of a door
Could open up a heart
Since the day we met I needed you
(needed you)
In my life
To do and say the things that i
Needed to feel and hear
Im just
Helplessly in love
(ooh)
Dont know what to do, im
Helplessly in love
And the love in my heart
Is for you
Ive always been a man who took control
But now Im so helpless
Cant find the nerve, I get emotional
When youre around
And its hard for me to tell you or
To show you what I feel
Im just
Helplessly in love
(helpless)
(ooh)
Dont know what to do, im
Helplessly in love
And the love in my heart
Is for you
Baby, baby
I just cant understand
No I dont understand
Why my feelings get so confused
Why Im like that
Why I love you like I do
So I picked out these three words that best
Describe the way I feel
Im just..
Helplessly in love
(ooooh)
Dont know what to do, im
Helplessly in love
(uh, oh)
Dont know what to do, im
Helplessly in love
And the love in my heart
Is for you
Helplessly in love
(baby, baby)
(ooh)
Dont know what to do, im
Helplessly in love
And the love in my heart
Is for you

Helplessly In Love
Verse 1:
My ears are gonna fade away
Without a word from you
My lips are gonna fade away
Without kissin you
cause Im missin you
Cant you see I feel helpless?
So alone here
Out of touch with all I love
So helpless
So helpless in love
Verse 2:
Forever is so long to wait
Well it seems like forever
It was so much more than fate
That brought us together
Together
Dont ya know i
Keep counting
The days til
I can see you again
So helpless
Im missin the love of my life
And my best friend
Chorus:
Oh, I cant count the stars in the sky
No matter how hard I try
Im helplessly in love and missin you
Cant think of anything else
Except how hard I feel
Im helplessly in love and missin you
Verse 3:
I know that its so hard to hear
The voice of reason
Its like goin from summer to winter
Unwanted change of season
Its not pleasin me baby
I cant see clearly
Even though the
Suns been lifted from my eyes
So clearly
til the day we said goodbye
Chorus
Cant count the stars in the sky
No matter how hard I try
Im helplessly in love and missin you
Cant think of anything else
Except how hard I fell
Bridge:
I used to wonder if you felt the same
I know you do and now its a different game
When someone you loves been taken away
Even though its not for long
It seems like forever and a day
Cant you see I feel helpless?
So alone here
Out of touch with all I love
So helpless
So helpless in love
Chorus
Cant count the stars in the sky
No matter how hard I try
Im helplessly in love and missin you
Cant think of anything else
Except how hard I fell
Cant count the stars in the sky
Im helplessly in love and missin you
Cant think of anything else
Except how hard I fell

Searching Deep
she put motion in my heart
and poetry in my soul
and through her love,
life began to unfold.
she showed me the
beauty that can lie ahead.
if you only clear your head.
clear your head to things that can be
if you set your heart and soul free.
so i searched deep into myself
for all that was locked up inside.
feelings and emotions that i wanted to hide.
what i found was a surprise in me
a love as deep as the ocean
and as wide as the sky.
enough to spread to everyones eyes.
and now with your eyes wide open
i know now that this is your time.
so open up yourself the same as me
and let all your emotions fly free.
this will only happen when you're searching deep
and in the process your soul you reach.

Wedding Song
I love you more than ever, more than time and more than love,
I love you more than money and more than the stars above,
Love you more than madness, more than waves upon the sea,
Love you more than life itself, you mean that much to me.
Ever since you walked right in, the circles been complete,
Ive said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street,
To the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun,
I love you more than ever and I havent yet begun.
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,
When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give,
Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from the hole,
Quenched my thirst and satisfied the burning in my soul.
You gave me babies one, two, three, what is more, you saved my life,
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, your love cuts like a knife,
My thoughts of you dont ever rest, theyd kill me if I lie,
Id sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die.
The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth,
Well play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth,
Whats lost is lost, we cant regain what went down in the flood,
But happiness to me is you and I love you more than blood.
Its never been my duty to remake the world at large,
Nor is it my intention to sound a battle charge,
cause I love you more than all of that with a love that doesnt bend,
And if there is eternity Id love you there again.
Oh, cant you see that you were born to stand by my side
And I was born to be with you, you were born to be my bride,
Youre the other half of what I am, youre the missing piece
And I love you more than ever with that love that doesnt cease.
You turn the tide on me each day and teach my eyes to see,
Just bein next to you is a natural thing for me
And I could never let you go, no matter what goes on,
cause I love you more than ever now that the past is gone.

Falling In Love
Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that Im feeling
Falling in love
Its draining its wearing
I surrender completely
Ooh I wasnt ready for this
Its good its bad
Im happy and Im sad
A mystery to behold
It speaks only to heart and soul
Like a melody deep inside of me
I saw that love keeps playing on and on
A symphony so glad I hear
Angels whispering
Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that Im feeling
Falling in love
Its draining its wearing
I surrender completely
I never knew that life could be
So heavenly Im feeling free
Oh how could something be so satisfying
And yet a feeling of fearfulness
Is lurking in the mist of the bliss
Inside my heart but I know thats all a part
Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that Im feeling
Falling in love
Its draining its wearing
I surrender completely
Im a business queen
In a courtroom kingdom
But when it comes to love
Theres no software made for that
Love oh love you came
You turned my perfect world upside down
Like a work of art
Love has shaped my heart
Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that Im feeling
Falling in love
Its draining its wearing
I surrender completely

Eyes Wide Open
Your eyes are wide open, but yet you don’t see
All the love I have inside of me.
Eyes wide open, but you don’t look around
You don’t open your ears, you don’t hear a sound.
Eyes wide open but the beauties that surround you
Do not seem to exist.
Is it that your eyes on you are playing tricks?
Eyes wide open and yet you have a blank stare.
Have you closed off your mind?
Or you just don’t care.
What can I do to remove that haze
So that on my face you can gaze.
If I hold you tenderly in my arms
And kiss those beautiful eyes.
Will they move? Will they cry?
What must I do so that you can see
That our love was meant to be.
They say that you went deep inside yourself
To hide the hurt and pain
But without your love “ I am the same”.
Eyes wide open. Did they just glance at me?
Is it because your heart is finally free?
I see a tear forming in your eyes
Emotions being let out that you tried to hide.
Eyes wide open- now they are mine
I can see your love for the very first time.

When Love Changes
Love changes
Without warning
And with total disregard
Like the weather
Like the wind
Like a chance
On a whim
Like the season that comes
To an end
Before a new one begins
It leads you to a
Lonely place
A single road leading nowhere
You look up from
Your bleak surroundings
To find love gone
Without a trace
Suddenly you feel like
A stranger
Who never felt or knew
What used to
Fill the empty, lonesome
Space
That change has left behind
Love changes
Without asking first
Like the minutes become hours
Like the daylight succumbs
To moonlight
And the busy bustle of the day
Becomes subdued and still
Leaving one to relive memories
That then invade their dreams
Every night against their will
Love changes
Without sympathy
Nor shame
Sending everything it ever was
Spiraling down into a bottomless
Abyss
With an unspeakable name
It pulls you in deeper
Moment by moment
Into its darkness where the pain
Is constant and inflamed
The force of change
Can turn a person into
An unrecognizable soul
Love almost never
Stays the same

Up Yours
(E. Stefani)
Mmmm I'll put up with you in the morning
And I'll put up with you in the night
I'll put up with you anytime
Oh being with you's such a delight
I'll put up with you and your boyfriends
And I'll put up with you and your family
I'll put up with you and the inlaws
If they can put up with me
I'll put up with your complaining
And I'll put up with your needs
I'll put up with you messin' around
You can go but once more with me (?)
I'll put up with you and your smoking
And I'll put up with you and your dirty deeds
I'll put up with you and your cussin'
You don't know how happy you would make me
I want you sugar yeah hey woo hoo hoo hoo
And baby I got to - I know I have to
I put my love around you honey (?)
(?)
I want you need you so bad
Oh you put up with me (?)
Ooh I'll put up
I'll put up, I'll put up, I'll put up
I'll put up with your last name
And I'll put up with you and not kiss my lips
I'll put up with you not missin' me
Though down deep inside I wish you would change
Though down deep inside I wish you would change
Though down deep inside I wish you would change
Though down deep inside I wish you would change

I Never Knew Love
I asked you to come inside my heart
And there you were
I asked for a pure and gentle start
And there you were
I asked fif this love could ever be
The way that I've dreamt of it you see
I never knew love
I asked you to open up my eyes
And there you were
I asked for the keys to paradise
And there you were
They say only ask and you'll receive
I never knew that applied to me
I never knew love
Life is good life is sweet
It's the way we perceive
Cynics say we can dream
Change your mind heal the world
It's easy just believe
I asked for a change in all my life
And there you were
You're everything I had hoped to find
Yes, there you were
I hope and I pray that you will find
A peace and a joy as great as mine
All about love I hope you find love

Traveling through the orbits of love
Traveling through the orbits of love
You always followed me
Hiding yourself behind hideous secrets
The tedious question I always asked
At mid way meeting as train pulled in
Who is the one you love?
With whom your soul yearn to be
Are you ready to accept me hence?
From all my mad habits I recovered
It took me a long pause to ask
It last more for you to answer
The train pulled out
The earth beneath me trembled
My world darkened on me
So strange you did not stay
So inhabitant is the station without you
Against trifle and ecstasy that we knew
Love is the remedy
Hidden thoughts meaningless words
Again iterate the question
Who is the one you love
Would you love me?
Would you accept me?
Since I shelled my old rascal skin
So I contemplate while lying in bed
You where no where to answer
I waited long in cold bed for reply
My heart pulled out of my chest
The earth beneath the bed shock
So strange you are not here
So lonely the world is without you
So deafen is the air clear
Who is the one you love
With whom you will be
The freighted earth shook
The mad lighting shot
The birds to the air took
So strange you are not
And I am abandoned in the knot

Youre the figure of a woman
Youre the mind of a child
A pretty whirlwind
You dont know just what youre doing
When you love me with your smile
A lovely whirlwind
A whirlwind of warm desire
Whirlwind, burning fire woman, realize
That the devil in disguise, is a whirlwind
Born to be running wild and free
Whirlwind
Born to make fools of guys like me
You pick me up like a whirlwind
You put me down like a whirlwind
Each time you touch me Im trouble-bound

Love Affair
When you find someone to make your dream
They respond with loving care
His reluctance to contrive his life
Her apparent debonair
In the wake of what she called her right
Here was something they could share
His belief that he was on her side
Her illicit love affair
Long lost love affair
Youre not so strange
What you have spared for them
Needed to change
Should always have to change
Always have to change
When their love was all but lost at sea
Quite unable to be seen
In the depths of their subconscious minds
There was something evergreen
If you wipe away her tears youll find
Bitter sweet humility
Its the backbone of his dignity
What it took to make her see
Long lost love affair
Youre not so strange
What you have spared for them
Needed to change
Long lost love affair
Youre not so strange
What you have spared for them
Needed to change
Always have to change
Should always have to change
Always have to change
Should always have to change

Sorry
I'm so sorry I'm not better.
God knows I wish I looked much better.
I'm sorry I'm not more interesting.
If I were, I'm sure you'd find that in your heart you'd be more kind.
I'm sorry I'm not what you need.
From inside it makes me bleed.
I've tried to make you see
that for true love you could do no better than me.
I'm truly sorry you don't agree.
From all these feelings I want to flee.
I'm so sorry I'm so strange.
I truly wish I weren't deranged.
At the snap of fingers I would change.
For your love backwards I would bend.
I'm sorry for who I am.
My whole life is such a sham.
Ever since I began,
I knew I would never be a man.
I'm sorry you were in my plan.
When it comes to loving me you never can.
So I say for now and then,
I'm sorry I'm not the man.

Simple Thoughts
Simple thoughts
Simple minds
Draw up the curtain blinds
Lets see what is inside
A long weary journey home
built in a city far from Rome
With each gear the thoughts accelerate
Dreading the point when home is near
Shortly they disintegrate into fragments
Framents of love
Fragments of hope
Fragments of light in
the middle of night
Fragments of a peaceful bed
To rest ones tired swollen body
from a days work
after been well fed
They disintegrate into
Fragments of a night drink
All the bitterness and sorrow
can now sink
The mind can no longer think

Warning
Now the first day that I met ya
I was looking in the sky
When the sun turned all a blur
And the thunderclouds rolled by
The sea began to shiver
And the wind began to moan
It mustve been a sign for me
To leave you well alone
I was born without you, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
You never said you love me
And I dont believe you can
cause I saw you in a dream
And you were with another man
You looked so cool and casual
And I tried to look the same
But now Ive got to know ya
Tell me who am I to blame?
I was born without you, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
Now the whole wide world is movin
cause theres iron in my heart
I just cant keep from cryin
cause you say weve got to part
Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away
A love Ive never known
I was born without you, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong

The Blackness Of The Black Black Night
THE BLACKNESS OF THE BLACK BLACK NIGHT
The blackness of the black black black night
The blackness inside-
‘The wretch concentred all in self’
Why oh I oh I oh I?
A million times the question comes
Focusing only on number one.
Who are we
And what can we be
If we are only
‘me me me’?
The blackness of the black black night
The blackness deep deep inside
Why oh why oh why oh
Always always always ‘I’?

Twenty-five pounds of pure cane sugar
Shes got in each and every kiss
You wouldnt know what Im talking bout
If you never had a love like this
Well, I dont mean to be frank with you all
Its a natural fact
Good things come wrapped up in small, small packages now
Well you cant argue with that
Oh, oh, yeah
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul, oh, oh
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul
Twenty-five pounds of tenderness
She got in each and every touch
Twenty-five pounds of understanding my woman
cause I was the one running round town worrying too much
Twenty-four pounds of sunday
That I cant see, yeah
And it all adds up to ninety-nine big pounds
Oh, Im talking about a feline friend
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness

Ring of Fire
My love for you, inside the circle,
It’s like a ring of fire, burning,
Strong, pure and kind, eternal,
Each day, each night and morning.
The flame we started, goes and goes,
It’s shining in my heart and glows,
My love for you forever grow,
Abundantly, like rivers flow.
My love for you is big like oceans,
The waves of love will never end,
It’s like a sea, stirring emotions,
You are my love, my wife, my friend!
My love for you, words can’t describe
They are too small, so I stand still,
-My heart is trembling deep inside-
I love you now, I always will!

Oft saw my dad cry (to dad)
A father's love
Can never match
A mother's…
At least in
Children's eyes…
A father's love
Cannot be shown
As easily
As in
a mother's sighs
A father's love
Is of labor dear
More distant so by nature
than… in tender
nurture lies
A father's love
Is of hidden tears
And rarely
Shown raw
emotions
Held within
A rough façade
Of gentle heart…
Of kind and
Cloistered emotions
Fathers withhold
Within themselves
Caring feelings (and memories)
Of small smiles
And big wide eyes
Fathers hold back
Tears inside while…
drying other's eyes
Yet fathers weep Inside,
so deep…most children
Know not why
And more than once
I caught a peek of tears
In my dad's eyes
And on his cheek
Fathers are …
of stern stuff made
Yet fathers
…Often cry…
