Empathies At a Minimal
I keep my empathies at a minimal.
And my sympathies are rarely shared.
I know my upbringing has taught me that.
And those emotions I feel are based on fact.
I don't wish to express something that is not there.
And my caring for others is extremely deep.
When I give it is from my heart.
Nothing inside of me just lays there without purpose.
When I share I share.
Not because I've received an overflow.
And invested abundance of it it what I share.
God has seen fit...
There is much more meaning for my existence.
To give is to receive.
Sometimes.
Sometimes it is best to just give.
Since some folks have no clue,
To know what it is they are receiving.
And if that is known...
It is to one's advantage to dispense with it well.
At least have a consciousness about it.

Your love as a kiss
Tears do thaw my frozen heart
as how warm your kiss caress's my emotions
though such a kiss passes me
and my love remains emotionless
crouched behind a viel of my history
Take my love but this time
keep my love and share such a kiss
share with me such a love of my desire
as no moment shared between us i could express my love
but with out your kiss my love goes uncaressed
as all but you have seen but passed forwards
though my love had stopped your approuch
and if you shall share my kiss
then we both shall share a love to rival the love of the gods
as we cant fight our love burning with passion
so give me your heart and you shall take mine
and our love shall be internal and all shall know

Let Me Share My Love With You
Come, and let me share my love with you;
And, let me give you slippers so that you do not walk along barefooted.
Come, and let me share my love with you;
And, let me cloth you with the muse of love so that you do not walk around naked.
Come, and let me share my love with you;
And, let me give you enough food so that you do not go hungry.
Come, and let me share my love with you;
And, let me give you enough water so that you do not go thirsty.
Come, and let me share my love with you;
And, let me take care of you under my shelter so that you do not become homeless.
Come, and let me share my love with you;
And, let me share my money with you so that you do not become penniless.
Come, and let me share my love with you;
And, let me take you around the world so that you do not become loneliness.
For this life needs the positive values of the muse of love and,
I have enough to share with you in my humble abode of peace and care.

Owners of Pockets Full and Deep
It is incomprehensible to perceive,
Those born and taught to be thieves...
Would have giving hearts for anyone to believe,
They would rush to the aid of others seeking...
Opportunities.
Or share a piece of a stolen pie.
Those who have created for themselves abundance,
Did not do so...
Crawling and clawing their way through tons,
Of grit and grim or mud of any kind.
Those stories may be told...
To deceive enchanted by good fiction.
However,
Those who are the owners of pockets full and deep...
Usually are not graduates of a nine to five.
And rarely have they received,
An abundance that they hoard...
Based on philosophies of sharing with their fellowman.
Folks like these are out to get as much as they can,
While keeping it out of the hands of others.
And that is the nature of a mind,
Nurtured on materialistic feeding.
What one like this gets...
Is meant to tease others in need.
Owners of pockets full and deep,
Pay to ensure...
Those unconscious,
Are kept to stay unaware in a sleep.
With the dangling of carrots...
Far out of their reach!

Time of Love
Listen to my heart
It ticks like a clock
It is all I have to give
My heart is my time
I’ll give you my heart
And fill that time with kindness
I’ll fill that time with caring
If I had no money
All I would have to give you is my time
Is that enough?
It’s all I have to give
When you lay down your life
You give all your time
And where you spend your time
Is where you spend your heart
For tomorrow is not a promise
That is what they say
If I share my heart with you today
Will you share yours with me?
Until the end of time?
That is what love is to me.

Not Man Made
More to give...
Than a polished car repossessed.
Much more than a staggering mortgage payment...
Foreclosed,
With an embarrassment to regret.
I had more to give,
Than new clothes bought but never worn.
More than cocktail social sips...
With pretensions to put on.
More to give than compliments...
Given and sometimes received.
More to give,
Than undue empathy...
Shown to self centered people,
Who gave none to those who bleed.
More to give I knew I had,
When all material things were taken away.
I had a feeling deep within.
And no matter what happened...
Inside me it stayed.
And I knew I had more to give.
So much more from my heart...
That was not man made!
I knew I had much more to give than others...
Who spoke of death,
When their things were gone.
And nothing they had in their hearts left...
Was there,
To give!
Or to share to pass on.

Doing What I Do For Too Long
Keep 'this' in mind.
I don't 'have' to express an opinion,
When asked.
I 'select' to give one.
Realizing this...
I don't have to give any at all.
And if I should elect to express it...
I am giving it to the one who asked!
Who they should share it with is their business.
That is 'why' I keep my opinions,
To a limit.
And embellishments done to my statements,
Are obvious for the creative exaggerations made.
I've been doing what I do for too long,
Not to recognize those who plagiarize!
And those who 'ask' for answers to questions...
Just for the purpose to initiate conflict!
They are the ones quick to disagree,
To any response I may give.
And this 'before' I give it,
Is known!

Kiss Lonely Goodbye
Give me a chance to catch my breath
Cause Im in a state of awe
Guess miracles do never cease
For were back together now
Pardon me please if I pinch myself
So to know this is not a dream
As I reminisce the love e shared
And the pain there was between
Look at the clouds in the sky
They seem so happy now
Look at the sun, feel its rays
With such a smiling face
Maybe we cant but maybe we can
With the love that were feeling inside
Share it with all the world and see each heart
Kiss lonely good-bye
If given a chance to live again
Id change not a single thing
Cause that little chance could sadly mean
That you to me faith wouldnt bring
Partly I cry for those linely nights
And a heartache I thought couldnt end
Yet joyfully I cry cause I know our love
We wont let us lose again, never again
Look at the clouds in the sky
They seem so happy now
Look at the sun, feel its rays
With such a smiling face
Maybe we cant but maybe we can
With the love that were feeling inside
Share it with all the world and see each heart
Kiss lonely good-bye
Look at the clouds in the sky
They seem so happy now
Look at the sun, feel its rays
With such a smiling face
Maybe we cant but maybe we can
With the love that were feeling inside
Share it with all the world and see each heart
Share it with all the world and see each heart
Share it with all the world and see each heart kiss lonely good-bye
Share it with all the world and see each heart kiss lonely good-bye

You Give 'We' Love
Holding each other like this.
So close I wish,
We could smother.
No other joy do I get.
None to compare,
To another.
You share your love.
From you it's deep and it penetrates me.
You share such love.
I feel the magic and its harmony.
Growing each day,
With this love!
I notice we are so happy.
And knowing what this love's made of...
Promises it as it should be!
You give 'we' love.
One that is real...
With revealing honesty.
It is 'we' love.
It is as it is received and kept believed.
This IS 'we' love!
One that is cherished,
And one we will keep!
You give 'we' love!
Holding each other like this.
So close I wish,
We could smother.
No other joy do I get.
None to compare,
To another.
This IS 'we' love!
One that is cherished,
And one we will keep!
You give 'we' love.
One that is real...
With revealing honesty.
It is 'we' love.
It is as it is received and kept believed.
Growing each day,
With this love!
I notice we are so happy.
'Cause you give 'we' love.
Yes,
You give 'we' love.
You give 'we' love.
Yes,
This is 'we' love!

The Joy of Life
The joy of life is living
In living there is loving
In loving there is caring
In caring there is sharing
What you don’t have, you can’t share
But never go beyond your means to find something to share
You might lose yourself in doing so
So share what you have, as long as you can
Others will see that you really and truly care
And they will love and help you to live your life
And give you the joy, that only few hold dear,
The joy of life

Sharing The Ultimate Gift
I want to share a special gift with you that God has given to me,
This gift like most others that you will receive is absolutely free.
However unlike other gifts that you may have received in the past,
This special gift and this one alone through all eternity will last.
Although you can't see this gift, it's the greatest you can receive,
This gift is not in a box, but in the heart of all those who believe.
And even though this gift is one of a kind and very special indeed,
You'll surely want to give this gift away as soon as it is received.
Don't be concerned about giving away something you didn't use,
For God said “Blessed are the feet of those who bring good news.”
This gift will surprise you on the day you decide to give it away,
You won't feel any loss at all with more to give the following day.
My friend you will be Eternally Grateful when you finally choose,
To truly embrace but give away this gift that you can never lose.
By now you know this gift is none other than Jesus Christ the Lord,
And your faithful sharing of this gift, by Him, will not be ignored.
For our Great Blessed Hope, who through the ages many have adored,
At His return will bring to all His faithful, an Everlasting Reward.
So the next gift you receive and think you'll treasure forevermore,
Remember that the only truly lasting gift is Jesus Christ The Lord.

From you telling lies so sweetly
Breaking my heart too neatly

You told me that you once loved me
And you placed yourself above me
Now I know you never loved me

I give up Im through with your lying

For Now A Mystery
For now you're just a mystery
There's a lot you're just not telling me
I'm sure you do more than nothing
And less than nothing containing everything
I might know your favorite color but that doesn't mean I know who you are
Sometimes your answers to my questions make me feel you're far
Like there's a distance between us, but I still want to know you more
I want to see what's at the very core
There's just something about that interests me
There's so much more of you I have yet to see.
I know this to be true
That I don't really know you
But that's only cause for me to desire to know you better
I don't want you to be that girl you know her...
I want to really know who you are
Really know you down to every last scratch and scar
It just seems that when I'm open and willing share
Willing to make the effort to talk to you willing to dare
To be there for you even when I don't know you, it just seems
That I shouldn't have to give you a personality in my dreams
But when I'm ready to share all of me that you'd share you
You know that you'd share who you are too
But somehow that doesn't feel like it's the case
But I'll give you space
For now you're a mystery
But that only makes me
Want to know you more and deeper
Until you're more than her
Until I'm more than him, until we're we
Or maybe not that far
Maybe just friends
But this too, for now a mystery, cause we don't know who each other are
One day soon we'll both know if we're friends or more, how this ends.
But for now a mystery.

The Me Factor
Confusion sometimes a theory shared begins.
It is said to those who give,
To learn to receive...
And let just giving end!
But when one is raised to do for others...
The Me Factor spoken may sit well for some,
But doesn't become another's druthers!
We are often told how selfish it is,
To think of oneself and how that is negative.
It is said 'to give' is better than 'to receive'.
Although in doing so...
Receiving for some is difficult to show!
Giving to give and thinking nothing of themselves...
Are many who live who believe 'to give' is positive!
And yes it is an act of unselfishness.
But many are living and not receiving proper rest!
And living to receive with a 'me' factor conceived,
Is the one thing they detest.
In this giving to receive cycle some suggest!
Confusion sometimes a theory shared begins.
It is said to those who give,
To learn to receive...
And let just giving end!
But when one is raised to do for others...
The Me Factor spoken may sit well for some,
But doesn't become another's druthers!

Give Me The Night

Theme from the picture corvette summer
Simple dreams and crazy schemes
All cant come true
Hear what Im saying
My love is with you
This fire between us
If only you might
Give me the night tonight
Give me the night
My hearts on ice
Come to me, care for me
Sing to me, share with me
Give me the night tonight
Oh, boulevards of broken dreams
Now, dont be depressed, oh
Now were together
And were riding the crest
Im full of your passion
And you know the rest
So give me the night tonight
Give me the night
My hearts on ice
Come to me, care for me
Sing to me, share with me
Give me the night tonight
Ooh, night, yes night, is better
Oh, having you than having night
Oh, our life, our life together
Oh, it fills me with joy that wont stop
(give me the night)
My hearts on ice
Come to me, care for me
Sing to me, share with me
Give me the night tonight
Ooh, hoo, my hearts on ice
Oh, come to me, care for me
Sing to me, share with me
Give me the night tonight
Ooh, hoo, my hearts on ice
Ah, come to me, care for me
Ooh, ah, ha
Give me the night tonight
