Counting Hearts
I guess…
We x-ray hearts differently
Pints, love, pity, bangs and chess
No conscience walking confidently
Blue stained red and black as an awful dress
Bad versus evil, good is knocked out completely
Plunges, blood stained, wet grasses in sour vex
Burdens, sorrow chipped correctly
Poison arrows, bands and clamps make life a mess
Emotions not drawn from senses sniffs deadly
Curie might have started the problem, but who will end this dance which seems endless
And the clay He would smash and start off again coldly
Mother, this world is for counting hearts
Not your game to say checkmate
The frog roars, the bird howls, what louder noise my mate makes?
Till everyone's funeral is in their diary up to date
Coarse hands yank life far away in deaths
Of countless, stubborn, stiff and cold hearts in a suitcase
Whence does music calm troubled breasts?
But frenzy all tied up for theirs to use
Treasures and gold even fall to the brim of their crests
And my own little ballad, they want to create a dimple
Then I yearn for one in two days as he rests
They bother charity and peace to caress
And transform those who seek it in ugly stress
Thrown in their hands is power and authority to change what is
The times
And futures
And lies
And tribes, religions and worlds
Programs operate under their programmes
Nails, dollar bills and angry faces
No hearts, no conscience
And failing God, our economy falls
Down and down we drain
Down and down the drain
And yet it rains
But does not corrode peoples wicked desires
Their ambitious plans
We bother what causes the troubling storms
What brings about the daily plagues
It is because we find on us stains
And for hearts so wicked as this to do things
Forgets
That there is a counting of hearts
Of course, He would not yet put those faulty behind bars
He'll just separate the wheat from the tars
One, two, three, four…
Yes, this I know…

The magic that the love brings
The love flows like a volcano to our hearts.
the love dumps unexplained feelings to our hearts.
the love takes away the huge loneliness, tobring the tender to our hearts.
the love brings the sweet emotions, to take away the sadnessfrom our hearts.
it takes away the cold and raining nights, withthe warmth that it brings.
it makes us feel that we are flying at the blue skies with magic that it makes.
it makes us feel our hearts beats with the adorable emotions that it brings.
it makes the days so short, when at the past they were so long.
it comes like a storm without warning.
it enters our hearts to make them burning.
it empires our soals tomake them soaring.
it captivates us that without it we stop living.
so my friend in my opinion this is the love.
and i guess there is nothing above.
and when we fall in love we can not go on living without.
and the life is wonderful when we are in love;

Blood Stained
Atrocities
Made every day
Religiously
Their sins
They hide
Can never disguise
Blood stained hands
Blood stained times
Blood stained deeds
Blood stained lies
They wage their wars
Such profiteers
Will nail us all
Their crimes
Concealed
Despicably reveal
Blood stained hands
Blood stained times
Blood stained weapons
Blood stained lies
They fire at will
Intent to kill
They have no conscience
They have no conscience
Ethnic cleansing nothing more!
Blood of nations blood of war
Turn blind eyes
From all your crimes
You bare our souls
Show no remorse
You cannot wash
The bloodstains off
They turn their backs
While others
Commit grisly acts
Were scared
For life
By politicians greedy
Blood stained hands
Blood stained times
Blood stained weapons
Blood stained crimes
Blood stained lands
Blood stained minds
Blood stained deeds
Blood stained lies
And while such predators
Stalk this earth
Disguised as saints
They kill our faith
Obsessed by greed
Lying through their teeth
They cannot wash
The blood stains off

The Next Great World War!
the next great world war
is already being fought...
within... within the hearts
of the poor of all nations,
struggling to survive,
for food and shelter.
in the hearts of the jobless,
the homeless, the sick.
in the hearts of prisoners,
of victims...
in the hearts of the takers,
the movers, the ones that make
the decisions, that hold
the key and the whip.
in the hearts of soldiers,
of politicians, of the innocents
killed by the bombing.
in the hearts of seekers,
of the lonely, the desperate.
in the hearts of the angry,
of the haters...
of priests, preachers, and moral guides.
in the hearts of the common,
in the hearts of the gifted,
in the hearts of the protesters,
and the cops that beat them.
in the hearts of all people everywhere,
crying out for change in spite of...
the war rages...
and who will stand
when the day is done?

Hearts Can
Hearts can be used
to hate or love.
Hearts can do kindness
for others in need.
Hearts can be giving,
Hearts can be greedy.
Hearts can be evil,
Hearts can be good.
Most of all is this,
if I lose you,
My heart will be broken.

Care For One Another..
Look at the hearts only,
Beating inside punctually,
as the stars majestically,
One above other vertically,
Hearts are beating vibrantly.
One above the other in high rise,
hearts toil with no surprise,
as the galaxies and constellations,
Hearts are beating horizontally,
Few hearts in big space,
Many hearts in small place,
as the diamonds twinkle in space,
Hearts are found in the ocean,
Hearts are there in the mountains,
Hearts are loitering in the jungles,
Hearts are beating in places,
as the planted gems above us,
Daring hearts are weak,
Weaker hearts are strong,
Most hearts are healthy,
Run and work in safety,
A few suffer and are sickly,
Clogged with fat and heavy,
Rich and poor man's hearts,
Educated and uneducated hearts,
Good and evil hearts,
Agnostic and spiritual hearts,
Healthy and sick hearts,
Beat everywhere to show,
That we care for one another,
and we love one another,
as we look at the stars,
the stars look at our hearts.

Two Lonely Hearts
Two lonely hearts torn apart,
To stubborn to create a new start
Two lonely hearts far away from each other
Pain grabbing them in every which way from one another
Two lonely hearts, a quarter not a whole
For the distance from the two souls is taking their toll
Two lonely hearts one is yours the other mine
Two lonely hearts who promised to love each other
until the end of time

Hearts Render
From birth tiny hearts all grow
As they mature they will know
What hearts are created for
Not by their sizes alone
Do mature hearts become known
Hearts need be judged by much more
Hearts can be carelessly torn
Readily become careworn
Life will lend each heart some pain
Yet such forlorn hearts will heal
Careworn hearts learn how to deal
Mended hearts strength thereby gain
Hearts become bruised and broken
By cruel words that are spoken
Rejections tear them apart
Once healed such hearts find power
Much greater love then will flower
Love rendered by a mended heart

Our Hills
Dear Mother-Earth
Of Titan birth,
Yon hills are your large breasts, and often I
Have climbed to their top-nipples, fain and dry
To drink my mother's-milk so near the sky.
O ye hill-stains,
Red, for all rains!
The blood that made you has all bled for us,
The hearts that paid you are all dead for us,
The trees that shade you groan with lead, for us!
And O, hill-sides,
Like giants' brides
Ye sleep in ravine-rumpled draperies,
And weep your springs in tearful memories
Of days that stained your robes with stains like these!
Sleep on, ye hills!
Weep on, ye rills!
The stainers have decreed the stains shall stay.
They chain the hands might wash the stains away.
They wait with cold hearts till we "rue the day".
O Mother-Earth
Of Titan birth,
Thy mother's-milk is curdled with aloe.
-- Like hills, Men, lift calm heads through any woe,
And weep, but bow not an inch, for any foe!
Thou Sorrow-height
We climb by night,
Thou hast no hell-deep chasm save Disgrace.
To stoop, will fling us down its fouled space:
Stand proud! The Dawn will meet us, face to face,
For down steep hills the Dawn loves best to race!

Turn Blue
See a black Eldorado
Oh, rolling along down below my window
That black girl in the back looks pretty good
Christ! She's beautiful
You know how soft she is
Just what you feel like
Oh, I'm so far away from her
Jesus this is Iggy
You, you might as well come with me,
When you ride the ride
There's talk and I don't wanna talk
Oh mamma, I shot myself down [x4]
They're stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
I don't know why they're stepping on our hearts
Damn, I don't know why
Stepping on our hearts [x5]
Can't you see, oh no, Stepping on our hearts
How come the blacks, how come they copy you so good?
They get off on you, so ?
If you wanna make it
Young man you gotta make somebody come
Come out of your black [x2] and strong
Black! Strong! Black!
Jesus it's cold in this room, it's really cold
You know I never told you about this, but there's one guy
Somebody I really love, he's never around
Well he was taking things that could be alright, that could be nice
And make him ugly, so damn ugly
And we put out the lights on them
Yeah, we'd make it dark, we put out the lights....on them
It's idiots like you that screw me up
I know there's nothing to you
And I don't know why I treat you so kind
Come down and dance with me, dance with me
You got nobody left but me
Oh accept me, don't reject me, don't forget me
Mamma, what colour will the lights be? Will they turn blue on me? [x2]
Mamma, I shot myself up, woh mamma, I shot myself up, up, up, mamma
Up down, up down mamma
Oh oh oh oh oh mamma
I didn't know what I was doing, I didn't mean to, but I did it, I shot myse

Stubborn Hearts
Stubborn hearts never learn
They will just keep on breaking
For faithless love they always yearn
Not tired from all the waiting.
Stubborn hearts keep loving
When ears are deaf to words
When eyes are blind to seeing
All the passion it accords.
Stubborn hearts are always true
And realize the matter
This heart is always here for you
And it cannot wait for later.

The Funeral Of Hearts
Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you
She was the sun
Shining upon
The tomb of your hopes and dreams so frail
He was the moon
Painting you
With it's glow so vulnerable and pale
Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you
She was the wind, carrying in
All the troubles and fears you for years tried to forget
He was the fire, restless and wild
And you were like a moth to that flame
The heretic seal beyond divine
a prayer to a god who's deaf and blind
The last rites for souls on fire
Three little words and a question -why?
Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you

Hearts
Hearing - talking - yes I - love you
Set your heart sail on the river
Look around you as you drift downstream hearing
Pouring souls into the ocean talking
Take account of all youve seen love you
One people - together
Freedom for today
So easy the future
So see the childrens way
Love me
Teach me
Know me
One people - together
Freedom for today
Tomorrow forever
So see the peoples way
Many moons cascade one river
They light from side to side
As we cross in close proximity
Like rivers our hearts entwine
How we talk - how we teach our children
How we move - we direct our eyes
All the senses tuned discovery
As and as and when our hearts decide
Be ready now - be ye circle
Be the central force ye life
As the game extends the cycle
Be ready to move
One hearts for love hearts
Ones for giving sailing down the river
Two hearts are better hearts
Than one throwing out a line
I hearing it hearts

Hearts On Fire
We saw the writings on the wall
When heathens ruled above us all
Tormented, we still heard the call
You come to bring us down
Wield the scepter, steal the crown
Time on the throne is running out
Cause seasons change but we are still the same
Event though the cold winds blow were burning like a flame
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel
Hearts On Fire
For years shunned by society
Outcasts, condemned for our beliefs
Our legions grew in secrecy
And now, the time is here
I see the Templars everywhere
The Freedom Call is drawing near
We hold our rebel banners up with pride
The colours crimson and the Hammer is the sign
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel

Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire

Shelter From The Rain
When our hearts were young
We put our hands into the flames
Felt the heat from our emotions
We had fire in our veins
All those night wed spend
Alone in your room
Though my silent thoughts
I still remember
We would use the power of love
Free our souls in endless love
We would sacrifice
Our hopes and dreams
Because without love
Our world would surely die
When our hearts were young
We never thought that
Life would change
Now the seasons go on
Oh why do we shelter from the rain
And all those nights wed spend
Alone in your room
Through my silent thoughts
I still remember
When our hearts were young
We had fire in our veins
And each time we touched
Wed melt in the flames
When our hearts were young
We knew pleasure, we knew plain
But each time we kissed
Wed burn in the flames
Feel the fire in our veins
When our hearts were young ...

Hearts For Sale
My spirit is winging
My soul is free
I'm doing my drinking
In good company

My feet are flying
Everybody's laughing
And nobody's crying

A nagging feeling
Going round

The women look so beautiful
And I feel like singing
The voice of conscience
The voice of reason

Two Hearts
I went out walking the other day
Seen a little girl crying along the way
Shed been hurt so bad said shed never love again
Someday your crying girl will end
And youll find once again
Two hearts are better than one
Two hearts girl get the job done
Two hearts are better than one
Once I spent my time playing tough guy scenes
But I was living in a world of childish dreams
Someday these childish dreams must end
To become a man and grow up to dream again
Now I believe in the end
Two hearts are better than one...
Sometimes it might seem like it was planned
For you to roam empty hearted through this land
Though the world turns you hard and cold
Theres one thing mister that I know
Thats if you think your heart is stone
And that youre rough enough to whip this world alone
Alone buddy there aint no peace of mind
Thats why Ill keep searching till I find my special one
Two hearts are better than one...

What Do We Really Wish To See?
this is a nice, cool place,
we decide to stay a while
a thatched nipa roof
covering some benches
rounded for us to sit
awhile, then we see
how the sun glows to
slowly meet its death
sunset, yellow, orange
red, then some black patches
we sit for a while
for a time we reflect
on this loss of light
we welcome darkness
we sit beside each other
then the lights of the resort
are switched on
there are no fireflies this season
electric lights hang on trees
the air comes like a cold feeling
it whispers loss and surrender
somewhere some hearts are cold
our hearts may soon relate
but we cannot be just defeated
this time, we really wish to see
love hanging on the air
we wish these things
these treasures of our hearts
we really wish to fall in love again
we see, we wish to see this love again,
we work out on it under the rain
our hearts are in flames
we burn with desire
we get what we wish to see
we make what we wish to be
i guess, that is simple enough

Insisting on Peace
Peace is said to be elusive!
But peace is not elusive really
When it is loved and prized
Above other desires
Peace is what we think of
When we hold our children's hands
And behold our futures
In a moment's contemplation
Of our deepest needs and plans.
Bread or rice or porridge
Garnished with some sweetness
And the relish still to come -
So is peace upon the tongue
A simple obligation
Daily duty undertaken
To preserve the space to grow
All we need to learn and know.
And for all the little animals
And the beautiful believers
And their brothers, unbelievers
Faithful equally and true
The little children too
And their own needs and desires
And the dreams they will pursue.
We will love the taste of it
As our hungry souls are filled
Oh, be patient and insist on it
With your friends and enemies
Addicted more to peace.
And since we have no powers
Of stop, search and arrest
We must crowd the hatred
And squeeze the violence
Let them feel unwelcome here
Unwelcome in our homes and hearts
Until they face the mirror
To renounce their brutal ways
To confront the violence of our days.
And by these necessary means
One by one, hearts can be claimed
And freed of all their silent fears
Our hearts employed as builders' stones
To raise up houses of ideals
Where hands can reach out unafraid
And wherein peace securely reigns.
