An Elegy to Heart

Heart within heart
Life within life
A hope?
A mirage?
A foolish whim?

Unfulfilled hopes
Testing idealism
Unnerving anxieties
Dark lonelinesses…

Ah!

When love, scarce
When the known, a caricature
When companionship, a test
When heart shatters in silence
When agony performs a ghost dance

Still…

To love as you’re
To love me as I’m

Isn’t that a vain hope?
Isn’t that a mirage

Ah, a foolish whim?

(Heart Still) Shatters

Lie about feeling small
Low about standing up ever tall
For there's nothing like a brawl
Guess heart still shatters to crawl

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl

For I'm not feeling whole
Only now I don't know wish to crawl
Denial of the love being ever minimal
Guess heart still shatters to crawl

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl

Never wanted you to ignore this plea
Even no golden marquee
Every day passes not feeling free
Guess heart still shatters to see

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see

Letting me forget priority
A memory passes over recently
So hurt now but so easily
Guess heart still shatters to see

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see

But now I struggle to even adore
A hope goes out open doors
Left feeling like that of sore
Guess heart still shatters to ignore

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore

For unsure what's in store
May leave me feeling unsure
Here life isn't yet pure
Guess heart still shatters to ignore

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore

Mirage

Mirage
I am just a mirage
Oh - I am just a mirage
When you look at me
Thru your crystal glass you will see
That I am now your past
But you give your love to me
In your life I wasnt meant to be.
Oh I am just a mirage
Oh I am just a mirage
Just a mirage fading away like water
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
I am just a mirage
But until that day has come
When you say Ill be your only one
I will live the way its meant for me
With ups and downs and mystery.

True Love Inspires Hope

True love inspires hope
hope that love is forever and true
one hopes that with love one can elope
their heart with thee, thine heart that's you.
The absence of my life, where art my love?
in day chimera, in my hope meek?
throughout my sorrow deep, in my transports above
with hope I seep, for love I seek
I hope... Wanting love that is not true, forever and lasting
I hope for love through and through
by my hope, for love's hope, truly casting
my eye on love, my eye on you...
Hoping

My foolish heart

My foolish heart!

Stop beating so nervously and quickly!

I have no more strength to bear this pain,

Everything is quite plain.

My eyes have become tearless,

My arms have become helpless,

I have no more strength of will,

I am so tired and ill.

There is no more sense to forgive,

There is no more sense to believe.

My foolish heart, stop trembling

Just because of one call from him,

The call which has broken the silence

And looked like a violence.

My foolish heart! Do you hear me?

I will not allow you to speak.

I don't give a damn that I can't sleep.

I don't want to love him any more.

What for? All we had was before.

My foolish heart! Keep quiet!

I am very tired, I am not desired.

My foolish heart! Look at me!

I've let him go.

Now you let him go too.

Hope Your Happy With Your Life

I hope your happy with your life
I hope your happy with all you do
I hope you see what you have done
I hope you see that this is all wrong

I hope you realize that your not perfect
I hope you see that money's not worth it
I hope you realize that family comes first
I hope you see that my smile was rehearsed

I hope you see that your tearing me apart
I hope you someday grow a heart
I hope someday you will open your heart again
I hope someday its true what tell me

I hope you see, how much your so called love hurts me
I hope you realize, that i really do love you
I hope someday your 'love' will be real
I hope someday you will feel what i feel

I hope you realize that your cut in my heart may not heal
I hope someday you realize that i never stopped loving you
I hope that before its my time your here
I hope you know that right now none of your cuts to me heal

I hoped you would be in my arms now here you are
I hoped you & me would see each other again an here we are
but all my hopes from before are gone cause you tore them away again
just like the love you say you have now now why aint it here to stay

I hope that I see you one last time
I hope I get to tell you this: one last time
I wish I never felt love at times cause you stab me to deep
because of you....I wish I didnt exist at times....'

Love Is Hope

If we lose someone close to us,
We feel a sting in our Loving Heart
They are love
They Are Tender
They are Care
Love is hope

Love is Family
Love is Friends
Love is Heaven
Love Is Desire
Love is Hope

Love in Death is impossible,
Love in life is sweet
losing those you love is saddening
Resulting a hole in that heart

Forever, life and Death
Love is always there
Family, Live or dead
still love you
From Beyond the netherworld.
Love is hope

In My Opinion
Love Is Dear
Love is true
love is there
But most importantly
LOVE Is Hope

everywhere, Even The Lord
God Loves you
His love eternal everlasting
His Love, his Son
Love is hope.

Mirage

(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
Is your love darling just a mirage?
From the distance, you call to me like an oasis
Though your kisses, keep drawing me near
Is your love a mirage that will disappear?
Like a man in the desert, Im lost
Is this dream just a trick of my imagination
Though I thirst for your lips, night and day
Is your love a mirage that will fade away?
How I pray, heaven answered my prayer
When I reach out for you, youll be there
In the search for my love will be through
Like a dream a mirage, will come true
How I pray, heaven answered my prayer
When I reach out for you, youll be there
In the search for my love will be through
Like a dream a mirage, will come true
A mirage, a mirage, a mirage

To the foolish hearts

To the foolish hearts
~
A heart and a fool
So easily led away
Into another place
They just want to believe
Let romance blossom
Like flowers in the garden
Seed the words of love
In the hope of that thing
We all know as beautiful
All to often sad to sad
Those petals fall away
Leaving a dying stem
Under the grey sky
The only water which falls
Is the tears we count
One by one by two
For a foolish heart
Did not see it coming
It just wanted to believe
That this love could be
And as it passes by
Heartache is found
An apology to the night
For a fool and their heart
Saying goodbye

Foolish Heart

Carve your name
Carve your name in ice and wind
Search for where
Search for where the rivers end
Or where the rivers start
Do everything thats in you
That you feel to be your part
But never give your love, my friend,
Unto a foolish heart
Leap from ledges
Leap from ledges high and wild
Learn to speak
Speak with wisdom like a child
Directly from the heart
Crown yourself the king of clowns
Or stand way back apart
But never give your love, my friend,
Unto a foolish heart
Shun a friend
Shun a brother and a friend
Never look
Never look around the bend
Or check a weatherchart
Sign the mona lisa
With a spray can, call it art
But never give your love, my friend,
Unto a foolish heart
A foolish heart will call on you
To toss your dreams away
Then turn around and blame you
For the way you went astray
A foolish heart will cost you sleep
And often make you curse
A selfish heart is trouble
But a foolish heart is worse
Bite the hand
Bite the hand that bakes your bread
Dare to leap
Where the angels fear to tread
Till you are torn apart
Stoke the fires of paradise
With coals from hell to start
But never give your love, my friend
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart....

I Love The Word Hope

I love the word hope 'tis a great word it keeps reminding you when you are down
That in many ways you are lucky you are not the worst off in the town
Compared to some you are quite lucky and though you may not be one of the privileged few
There's hope and comfort in the thought that many are worse off than you.

I love the word hope it seems positive to hope for the good days ahead
For life for you is scarce worth living if the hope in your heart it is dead
To hope for a better tomorrow is the thing that keeps us keeping on
For you do not have much to live for if hope out of your life is gone.

I love the word hope it's uplifting for those who are feeling quite low
For as they say hope springs eternal and out of hope success can grow
And one can only see a dark future for one who is struggling to cope
If that person has lost the great gift the gift that we all know as hope.

I love the word hope it's a great gift those who have it in them have fight
They keep on going through the dark tunnel till finally they reach the light
And when you retain hope through your hard days you are telling the World I'm alive
For without it life on you much harder and you find it so hard to survive.

Adinkra Symbols

I am the girl that you seein the mirror and,
I want to climb on a ladder to reach to the top;
But who will please me and show me love?
For my social life and my school life have stories,
And these have made me what i am today with my sweet love.
I have the 'Adinkra Symbols' all over me and,
You need to look into the mirror always!
For my love will reflect back to you like a mirage because,
I am ready to share my hot games with you.
I am the girl that you see always in your mirror and,
I want to love you for what you are;
Because the day and the night will be with you always,
And like a mirage across the muse of your sweet heart.

These Foolish Things

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
The scent of smouldering leaves the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange, how sweet, to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you so near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
Remind me of you
Remind me of you

These Foolish Things

(strachey/marvell/ link)
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces,
An airline ticket to romantic places,
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
A tinkling piano in the next apartment,
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant,
A fairground's painted swings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
You came, you saw,
You conquered me.
When you did that to me,
I knew somehow this had to be.
The winds of march that made my heart a dancer,
A telephone that rings,
And who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
The first daffodil and long excited cables,
And candle lights on little corner tables,
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
The park at evening when the bell has sounded,
The 'ile-de-france' with all the gulls around it,
The beauty that is spring's...
These foolish things remind me of you.
How strange, how sweet
To find you still,
These things are dear to me,
They seem to bring you near to me.
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations,
Silk stockings tossed aside, dance invitations.
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you...
These foolish things remind me of you.

I Hope She Knows

i hop she knows who she is to me,
i hope she knows when i look at her true beauty is what i see
i hope she knows i see her like no one else
i hope she knows when she smiles it just makes my heart melt
i hope she knows shes not just anybody, not just some girl
shes mine,
i have loved her all this time
i hope she knows she sweetens my breathe
without her air it would bring death
i hope she knows that in my eyes
shes the brightest light, the shine of the moon in the essence of the night
the beauty of the waters on the shore, without her love i would be no more,
i hope she knows i love her the way she is
i hope she knows when shes gone shes all i miss
i hope she knows that all i have to say and all i feel
that the love for her could never be so real
i hope she knows shes the life of my life
the heart of my heart, the day of my day
and no matter how long i will forever feel this way
and this moment that im looking at her, that im looking at the most amazing thing i will ever see
her,
i hope she knows without the gaze of her eyes, i would be blind all my life
but at this moment,
i hope she knows
that i love her.

Heart in Three Liners...

Heart looks around
To be cuddled and allayed
Foolish whim!

Boisterous heart
Whips blazing windy nights
Body set aflame!

This heart throbs
In solitary confinement
Island, vulnerable!

Where's heart?
What's its business?
Just to beat?

Subtler the beat, better
Rushing the beat, insecurity
Funny heart!

(p. lord / v.j. smith)
Wishing, dreaming
What a fool, wishing
Come on, come on
Here we go
Love song number 9
With a vengeance
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe never
One day you
Might keep a promise
Tell me I see you
But then baby where are you
I just dont know how im
Still in love with you
What you do
I havent got a clue
I wish you could tell me
Why, my...

Foolish heart (baby)

Foolish heart
s got me into love again

Foolish heart (made me)

My foolish heart
Maybe Im wishing
Maybe Im dreaming
For the way I used
To feel bout love
But Im tired of dreaming
Its you Im needing
I just dont know how im
Still in love with you
What you do
I havent got a clue
I wish you could tell me
Why, my...
Chorus
Maybe Im wishing
Maybe Im dreaming

You all my heart
I really dont need a reason
Ooh boy what Im feeling
You made me love you
My foolish heart

See My Love, See My Life

How can you not see me now?
When will I leave this love?
I wanna fly will you teach me how?
I wanna soar through the sky above

But I know we grow no wings
However you can make me high
Would you call my hope a sin?
My hope that you will help me fly

They say a love lost
Is better that a love ignored
This ignorance, my heart, it frosts
Please my persistence you must award

Every time we split apart
I feel you taking my heart
I lived in the dark swore never to fall
But was there a time I didn’t love you? I don’t recall

Silence it falls it crushes my hopes
Why when you are near is my voice far away
I always wonder how my soul copes
My love for you grows day by day

Sorry I do not have a foolish heart

Sorry I do not have a foolish heart
Loving her when she loves him
Loving her when she fits him
Loving her when the stars made her for him

I keep a love that loves someone who loves me
I keep a love that makes the other grow
I love the love that loves me in return

Sorry I do not have a foolish heart like hers
She loves him but he loves the other
She keeps him walls
she puts him in a cage
He runs he escapes he keeps on calling the other
She loves him but he does not love her and she keeps insisting

Sorry I do not keep a foolish heart.
That indeed makes my love so fair.

The Foolish Thing To Do

I was thinking just the other day
How it started in such a strange way
It ended in a strange way too
And this is why I am singing this song for you
Its a foolish thing to do
Such a foolish thing to do
Give your heart to someone new
Its a foolish thing to do
(yeah)
Weve all made the same mistakes
One foolish glance one smile we made
A hundred thousand feel this way
While other people are just waiting for the day
Its a foolish thing to do
Such a foolish foolish thing to do
Go when you want it
When you need it
Dont just believe it
For the first an last time
Stop !
Youd better look around
One day youll walk into the room
Your eyes will meet
Youll fall in love too soon
The next time you might hesitate
The chance is all those rooms have eyes
So dont forget
Its a foolish thing to do
Such a such a foolish thing to do
To go and give your heart and soul to someone new
Its a foolish foolish thing to do
So when you feel it
When you can touch it
And you believe it
For the first an last time
Stop !
Youd better look around
Its a foolish thing to do
Such a foolish thing to do

The love i couldn't give

She begs and craves all day,
for the love i couldn't give
She hopes and filled her fate
with the love i couldn't give.
Her smile is filled with hope,
of the love i couldn't give
her heart is sad but strong
for the love i couldn't give.
Her days is filled with hope and love,
for the love i couldn't give
her heart is mild but torn
because of the love i couldn't give.
She wished for just a day of love,
for the love i couldn't give
my heart is lost and gone
now there is no love i could give.

My heart is far from me,
there's no love i could give
my hope is far but deep withing
for the love i couldn't give.
My past came like a GIFT,
and stole my heart from me.
Leaving me hollow and empty,
now there's no love i could give.
My present wants so much love from me,
but there's no love i could give
i'll bring her smile all day,
even with the love i couldn't give.
