Sandrine Sonnet Cycle - Sonnet LXII Sin of Self-Love
Sin of self-love was mine until we met,
And all my soul, my each and every part,
Navel worshipped, 'self' could not forget,
Denying feelings from the inner heart.
Responding to shared magic I arise
In wonderment, and slough the skin of pride,
No worth now see(k) in any other eyes,
Enough is that which in you does abide.
Vanity my mirror did reflect, -
And now I learn love's taste, spurn waste, to share
In light and laughter, ease of heart, - reject
Luckless habits leading to despair.
Latent was the well-spring of my soul,
And Now Twinned stars may merge to make one whole!

Forsaking My Love
I hate you
I wish to tear you away from me
This tumor that clings to my chest
The thing that makes me ache
That haunts my dreams
And tears at my desires
You have brought me only pain
My untamed heart
That beast that gnaws at my soul
That pitifully whines
Bringing my mind into unwanted pain
Yet how can I blame you
How can I chastise you when I listen intently to your pleas
Why should I punish you for what my eyes feed upon
How can I blame my eyes for falling upon her
She who brings light to the eternal darkness of my soul
She whose eyes bring me to subjection
Whose smile leaves me in awe
How can I blame you when my ears are met with her laughter
How they submerge into her song
How they quiver at her voice
Why should I punish you for inclining my soul
Tempting it with the one sense that has been forsaken by her
How could I look over the thought of the brushing of lips
The touching of hands
The binding of the soul, mind, and body
O you wretched heart
What am I to do with this constant companion
How could I tear you away
When she is the cause of my agony
Or rather
It is the lack of her which brings me sorrow
It is the need for her that leaves my heart in pain
Yet she is not mine
She was never mine
She will never be mine
O my poor heart
How can I make you see reason
When all you do is show me the truth

The Way
The way,
As far as I can see it,
I need to find the way to make you mine.
And someday,
When you least expect it,
I hope you find the way
To love me in kind.
The way
Leading to your heart
Can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
No road is too long.
And now,
Having said I love you,
Ive got to find the way to say that I care.
And the way,
Having been decided,
Is for me to stay
And always be there.
The way
Leading to your heart
Can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
No road is too long.
Be a part of me;
Thats all I can say.
I may not know the words,
But I know the way to you.
The way leading to your heart
Can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
No road is too long.
Be a part of me;
Thats all I can say.
Im a part of you,
And I know that you are the way.
Just need the way to find you.
I need to find, I need to find, I need to find, I need to find the way to
You.
You are the way. you are the way. you are the way. you are the way,
The way for me.

By the degree of charm her countenance foretold
By the degree of charm her countenance foretold
The temperature of beauty, her womanly pride
As graceful as simple and as touching as cold
She seduced mine heart and my soul did abide
Her taste for passion, her loving tender caress
Which her essence withdrew and her heart absorb
Stealing my soul and my poetic finesse
Her sense organ attracted like a gravitating orb
My heart to her heart did my love bequeath
All my talent and genius on her beautiful beauty sweet
Perfectly blended with her sincere soul underneath
Where true love unites and true love meet
But no love for me, and all love to she
She did steal my love, my poetry, my heart sincerely

The Love Eternity
You can't buy talents,
You can't buy experience,
And you can't buy love;
Because love is not for sale.
Come closer to me to get some feelings,
The love eternity is what i share;
Like the touch of light ot push you up.
We've got work to do on this love,
The natural feelings of love to motivate you at all times;
So, don't bury your thoughts.
You are always welcome,
Because you are the lady of my heart;
All i need is the air that i breath and to love you.
I really don't learn like a bull and forget like a beast,
But my life is to love you.
Bring your magic room to me my lover,
For you are always welcome whenever you need me;
And love will always find a way.
Touch my heart and feel my heart beat,
Fill it up with your saturated love;
For true love crowns everything when you are in the mood.
You are my delight in the midst of the millions,
And you are tantalizing to my heart;
For i always do miss you in my loneliness.

Heart & Soul
Love in a vacuum, love in space.
Love without even a little hint of a trace.
Love in confusion and love doesnt show on your face.
Love is a stranger, love is a box.
Love is the key that fits a million locks.
Love is a mystery when love is the devil you go.
Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine.
I wish youd put your heart and soul
Where I can think theyre mine.
I wish you put your heart and soul
Where I can see them shine.
Love in a distance, love in a walk.
Love in the limit if only people could talk.
Love for the moment till it swings like a hawk.
Love for tomorrow, love for today.
Love for the hour it could be coming your way.
Love for a puzzle you need a solution to play.
Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine.
I wish you put your heart and soul
Where I can think theyre mine.
I wish you put your heart and soul
Where I can see them shine.
I wish you put your heart and soul
Where I can think theyre mine
I wish you put your heart and soul
Where I can see them shine.
I wish you put your heart and soul
Where I can think theyre mine...

Lonely Soul
I'm just a lonely soul with a heart, a heart that cries.I fill as if its been torn in two between to guys that I like and might even love.Oh heart, oh heart, what do I do who do I love, tell me who to love I've love to give but no one to give it to. Oh heart, oh heart what do I do tell me heart who to love or I shall never love at all.I'm just a lonely soul with a heart, a heart that cries.The love I have I want to share, but who do I love? Tell me heart, oh heartwho do I trun to, to love? The feelings in my heart have never let me down befour so the feelings in my heart have always been true.I once thought I've had feelings for a guy I use to know but now, but now I know it was all in my head and not in my heart.Tell me heart, oh heart what do I do, who do I love?

See Me In The Mirror
See me in the mirror if you want to
See me in the mirror if you really want to
Maybe not too clear, but the face you'll see is mine
Do you feel my eyes burning through you
Do you feel the burn when my eyes see through you
Do you see my eyes when they burn into your mind
I can feel the teardrops hit the ground where I'm layed
I can feel you breathing while I sleep through the day
See you in a vision in the dark with no light?
Your soul may go to heaven, but your heart's mine tonight
Do you feel my skin when you touch me
Do you feel my skin when you reach and touch me
Cold and blue and thin but it's still somehow alive
And you can feel my blood running through you
You can feel the rush of my blood run through you
You can feel the gush when my blood runs up your spine
And I can feel the teardrops hit the ground where I'm layed
I can feel you breathing while I sleep through the day
See you in a vision in the dark with no light?
Your soul may go to heaven, but your heart's mine tonight
See me in your mirror if you want to
See me in the mirror if you really want to
Maybe not too clear, but the face you'll see is mine
See me in the mirror, mirror, mirror
See me in the mirror, mirror
See me in the mirror, mirror
See me in the mirror, mirror
See me in the mirror, mirror, mirror

Reflects The Soul
Your eyes are like a mirror
that reflects your soul.
Some eyes are dark as cobalt
and reflect the deed they do.
Others are a shade of gold
reflect a heart that cares.
While others reflect great sadness
from ill treatment somewhere.
Whatever colour are your eyes
it is not the colour of your soul.
Some people with dark eyes
as jet black as the night.
Hold the gentlest touch
when it comes to others of mankind.
The colour of your eyes
is never an indication to your soul.
It is only passed the colour
does that reflect the soul.

I love you forever my Darling
loving you is not the answer of the
celebration we take; not the kids you
give, rings and the beautiful dresses
you wear, will hold you to stay and
let this nothing to despair, even that
beautiful and memorable night it
display, mean not to say that you are
mine, forever
the magic of matrimony, have something
to tell between the love we always swear,
worth to remember enough, to forget the
heart that it hurts, the worried and the tears
in every eye that cried, every day and night
the hand lovingly holds each page to
be showed, while the body tremble and the
nerve trample, the heart mingles in the spirit
of love, move in the bedroom settle in the
blanket of foam; and the voice of the night
started to sing a silent for a call.....I love you
my heart breathe the beauty that you
bestowed, and you worship my loving soul
to live in your time.....giving what i ask,
sharing what i have...for you're my heart of
my soul...your the one
i love you….i love you….. I love you

Share Your Love
Maurice white & garry glenn
Love is the light, gonna let it shine
Living each day, youre sure to find
Another heart thats warm and true
Shining the light in return to you
Share your love, dont try to restrain it
Love, dont need to be afraid to
Love, everybody get together
Let every heart, around the world
Do its part
The voice of love, ringing loud and clear
To every heart with a listening ear
Hostage of hate and these chain of fear
Send dr. love, they will disappear
Share your love, dont try to restrain it
Love, dont need to be afraid to
Love, everybody get together

Youre number one, cause deep inside
Feelings still abide
Youre number one, you light the way
Night becomes the day
Youre number one, cause we feel its true

If Not For Love (sung to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)
Love lives within the human heart, a witness to God's grace
And every soul must play its part for blessings to take place!
Through charity we comprehend that others need help, too.
It's how we prove to be a friend beyond our point of view.
Sometimes we sense a sacrifice will help another live!
God asks of us to pay the price - to give what we can give!
The best of us will hear that call, responding well with love,
Yet there are those who'd rather stall or say they gave enough...
In time, all blessings will be weighed, as if to judge their worth.
To prove to those who have obeyed how their love filled the Earth.
Till then there's opportunity, no matter where you are -
To start with, learn of Calvary - its light shines near and far!
If not for love where would we go? What future would we seek?
In Jesus Christ each soul can know: true love is strong not weak!
While wisdom brings Mankind knowledge, alone it bears no light.
The Holy Spirit grants courage to always do what's right!
The Prophets shared God's prophecies so we'd redeem the time...
As servants, let us try to please - for God's love is sublime!
Reach out in faith for sweet kisses, be humble yet be bold!
The future holds God's promises that are as good as gold!

Stars have eyes! !
Stars have eyes
Did anyone ever see the eyes on stars?
The eyes on stars full of soul
Look any longer they take control
Did anyone ever see the eyes on stars?
The eyes on stars behold the sight
Look any longer and glide free like a kite
Did anyone see the eyes on stars?
The eyes on stars oh what a smile
Look any longer they’ll lite your darkness for a mile
Did anyone see the eyes on stars?
The eyes on stars share the love
Look any longer you know it comes from above
Well now you’ve seen the eyes on stars
Shared the beautiful soul amazed by their wonder
Enchanted by the smile
And overwhelmed by the love
But look any longer you will see the pain
The pain on the eyes of stars
Never to be concealed by the rain
The eyes on stars cry
Never to be wiped dry
The eyes on stars cry
The eyes on stars cry blood tears
Permanently there reminding of fears
The eyes on stars cry
The eyes on stars cry
Stars eyes cry
Stars eyes cry
Stars eyes cry
They cry blood
Stars eyes cry
Stars eyes smile
Stars have eyes
Stars eyes.

Psalm 119 part 11
Breathing after holiness.
ver. 5,33
O that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep his statutes still!
O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do his will!
ver. 29
O send thy Spirit down to write
Thy law upon my heart!
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
Nor act the liar's part.
ver. 37,36
From vanity turn off my eyes;
Let no corrupt design,
Nor covetous desires, arise
Within this soul of mine.
ver. 133
Order my footsteps by thy word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
ver. 176
My soul hath gone too far astray,
My feet too often slip;
Yet since I've not forgot thy way,
Restore thy wand'ring sheep.
ver. 35
Make me to walk in thy commands,
'Tis a delightful road;
Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
Offend against my God.

Feelings Have No Age
Feelings have no age,
feelings have no distance.
With coming years you become a sage,
only real love is your existence.
Your body feels more,
your heart beats faster,
your taste is sharper than before,
your soul becomes a master.
Feelings have no age,
they become even stronger.
Your love doesn’t live in a cage,
it has no time to ponder.
Feelings have no age,
if you love you don’t have to repent.
You have a big revenge,
if your heart and soul are in content.
Feelings have no age….

Sister of Heart
Sister of heart
Sister of soul
How can I tell you
what my mind knows
To explain my reasoning
Is a distasteful seasoning
Sister of heart
Sister of soul
Sister of mind
that is unknown
When I am falling
It's you I am calling
To ease the pain
You keep me sane
Sister I love
I hurt as well
I cause pain to swell
in your heart
Sister I know
we don't always see
each other perfectly
But try I will
endeavor I shall
The laughs and love
I'll never forget
the day we met
Sister of mind
Sister of soul
It's you I shall always owe
My gratitude
My protection
Sister of pain
I will share mine
and take yours far away
Sister of anger
Hatred is fine
but keep close in mind
also is forgiveness divine
Forever or longer
I will not let our differences
change our hearts
Forever together
sooner apart
Sister of soul
Sister of heart

Though Some Good Things Of Lower Worth
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance. Psalm 16:5.
Though some good things of lower worth
My heart is called on to resign,
Of all the gifts in heaven and earth,
The greatest and the best is mine
The love of God in Christ made known
The love that is enough alone,
My Father's love is all my own.
My soul's Restorer, let me learn
In that deep love to live and rest
Let me the precious thing discern
Of which I am indeed possessed.
My treasure let me feel and see,
And let my moments, as they flee,
Unfold my endless life in Thee.
Let me not dwell so much within
My bounded heart, with anxious heed
Where all my searches meet with sin,
And nothing satisfies my need
It shuts me from the sound and sight
Of that pure world of life and light,
Which has no breadth, or length, or height.
Let me Thy power, Thy beauty see;
So shall the hopeless labor cease,
And my free heart shall follow thee
Through paths of everlasting peace.
My strength Thy gift, my life Thy care,
I shall forget to seek elsewhere
The wealth to which my soul is heir.
I was not called to walk alone,
To clothe myself with love and light;
And for Thy glory, not my own,
My soul is precious in Thy sight.
My evil heart can never be
A home, a heritage for me
But Thou canst make it fit for Thee.

Don't Forget To Remember
Oh my heart won't believe that you have left me
I keep telling my self that it's true
I can get over anything you want my love
But I can't get myself over you
Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me my love
On my wall lies a photograph of you girl
Though I try to forget you somehow
You're the mirror of my soul so take me out of my hole
Let me try to go on living right now
Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me my love

Mirror
Oh! Mirror the most loveable, cunning queen
You reflect in mostly whatever you have seen.
Face is the mirror of the soul
Literature is the face of the society as a whole
Oh! Mirror, you have to reflect me as it is your goal.
But why do you really fail to show my soul?
Whatever I do
In front of you
You do that ditto
If I lit a cigar, you lit too without nitto.
Even you can reflect the fire
Even you can make caricature
Out of me without any failure
But why do you really fail to show the fire
The burning sensation of my mind
And the sound of anguish which is in the wind?
Oh! Mirror, you are such a beauty! !
You have so much unparalleled quality! !
You make the distant nearer
And the nearer distant
You make the big small
And the small big.
But why do you always belittle me
When I am away from you?
We are a quirky pair
As long as we are near so long as we are dear
But when we are apart
You are so cruel; I am not in your heart.
But I can not forget you
Being tired and devastated in distress
I rush to you to show my face.
You are such a pretending ass
It seems that nothing happens between us.
You do as I do
You can not conceal my ugly face
The anxiety, the tiredness and the distress.
In such condition can our love continue
Have you any thing alternative left to me other than to hate you?

Rainbow On The Horizon
Love may be misleading at this moment in time
Do not fear as a love sublime
is on it's way to restore your faith
to believe once again in love and grace
hold on tight to your inner feelings
love will surrender your truth and light
it will be on your path and make everything right
love is to embrace and warm and heal you
to fill your soul with an everlasting love
that's surely sent from heaven above
so in your despair of meeting that soul mate
remember these words and hold them close to your heart
a love thats so real and eternal and heartfelt
that loves on it's way quicker than you think
it's all up to god and his path designed for you
or destiny or fate
Please realise this love is part of the plan
to make you aware of his unwavering support
your rock your refuge your inner guide
will bring to you your hearts desire
so please don't despair at this moment in time
as a loves on it's way and it is divine.
