Temporary Satisfactions

Deep within one's heart,
Where an honesty felt is kept.
The eyes unclouded searches,
For what is inside...
To be outside reflected to match.

And they do not hide desires,
For the ones who see truth in them.
Yet those who do not respect this vision...
Keep themselves falsely detached,
With hopes that this attracts...
Temporary satisfactions.

Truth That Is

Deplete not from me,
Truth that is.
Let me face it.
Without discouragement.

Or hurry to hide...
From that which I do not like.
Or might disturb me inside.
Or deny.

Let my consciousness accept,
What my eyes and head rejects.
With an openness my heart allows...
And helps me respect.

Remove my quickness to object,
A reality that may upset.
That comes to challenge my neglect,
As it is reflected.

And not to deceive myself to believe...
Truth is a perception,
That I can chose to ignore!
Turn my back on it and leave.

Eyes Will Tell

without your love my dearest i would surely die
for when we met my feelings started to rise.
they started at a slow but steady pace
and then they took off; running their own kind of race.

i know that you felt what i was feeling too!
by the way your eyes looked at me.
our eyes interlocked and the feelings started to grow.
much more than you could or will ever know.

you tried to take your look away from me
just so that my eyes could'nt see.
that blushing glow, was because of what?
you felt it deep inside
were you feeling something dear?
of what your eyes were unable to hide?

now when we look into each others eyes
all we could see is the depth of love inside.

eyes will tell all of your hopes and dreams
of those deep and hidden things unseen.

you can see disappointment, sadness and anger
and all of your hidden rest.
but just look into your loved ones eyes
and it will put all of your feelings to the test.

Witnessing II

Honesty is the essential problem of all abused children.

First we must determine what the reality around us is,
defining with eyes unclouded by other people's wants and needs.

They we must learn unremitting honesty with ourselves.

The temptation will be to bend the truth here,
because it's more convenient,
because no one gets upset,
because we wish to please;
or tell partial truths there; misguided altruism,
wanting to protect someone else's feelings.

No matter how hard we work to speak the truth,
there will always be other old, abused children,
crying out to us to keep the secrets,
and other old abusers,
demanding the complicity of our silence.

Tears On The Beach

Sitting on the sand gazing at the ocean
Not even a ripple, no type of motion.
It was like my heart, dormant as can be.
So still, so silent waiting patiently.

You said that you loved me
And another there can never be.
But you had a roving eye
Something I did not see.

How easy it is for you to turn on emotions
But to any one person, you have no devotion.
So I just sit here with heavy thoughts and heavy heart
Wondering how we must part.

Your outer beauty attracts people to you
Like a flower attracts a bee
But what you hide deep within
No one person can see.

How is it that love can be so beautiful
And yet so blind, that to recognize it
Takes quite some time.

So I sit here on the sand, with my heart
Held in my hand.
Looking to throw it into the ocean
In hopes that it can wash away the pain
And my utter devotion.

Goodbye is but one word
From a voice that was never heard.

Heart

There’s a place in my heart which is empty inside
A place in my heart where I try to hide
To hide from the pains that hurt me so
And I turn, but nowhere to go.

So I hide like the child deep inside
Who is afraid to take the step of a journey.
That may lead to better things in life
But refuses to make a sacrifice.

But the heart has a mechanism
which automatically protects
You from things that you fear
And takes you on a journey
To wipe away the tears.

Don’t ever hide from what
The heart may bring, because
Deep inside of us there s a voice that sings.

The hunger for you

Deep into your eyes
My heart is lost
Deep into your heart
My heart searches
For my destiny
My perfect destiny
A destiny like no other
I am deeply lost in your eyes
Longing so much for your love
When you lick your lips
I lick my lips
Hoping and longing
And waiting
For you to see
How you make me feel
How special you make me feel
Can’t you see
That I am waiting for you
I am lost in your eyes
My emotions
My desires
Are all drawn to you
I am lost
Deep into your eyes

Seeking Heat!

there is a heat
inside the fire,
friction inside the match.
there are clouds
inside each raindrop,
winter snows inside each bud.
there is a joy
hidden deep in sorrow,
there is touch
inside of the lonely.
there is a need
inside each prayer,
there is a hunger
inside those who take.
there is forgiveness
inside of anger.
there is a freedom
inside each cell.
there is a sameness
inside of difference.
there is a mother
inside each man.
there is a man
inside each body,
a hint of god
inside each soul.
there is a heart
inside of each man...

a heart seeking heat!

Hiding God’s Word

God’s Truth echoes deep inside, from the Word that we hide,
Deep inside the believer’s heart, from Truth God does impart;
God’s Word hidden deep within, helps us in this world of sin,
From the evils of sin’s temptation, to living out our Salvation.

How should one keep his ways, in spiritually darkened days?
Through God’s Word and Light, God helps man walk upright,
As we tap God’s wealth inside, The Spirit helps one to abide,
In Jesus Christ, our Savior, as The Word guides our behavior.

Christ can help one stay pure, as His Word’s sound and sure,
Sharper than a two edged sword, is The Word from The Lord;
His Word’s able to divide, thoughts and motives deep inside,
As actions God begins to weigh, with Truths God will convey.

When believers will do their part, by hiding Truth in their heart,
His Word becomes our shield, and a sword that we can wield,
When God’s Truth we proclaim, in the power of Christ’s Name,
In each and every circumstance, as God gives us that chance.

As The Word we continue to hide, with The Spirit as our guide,
In Christ alone we can stand, knowing that we are in His Hand,
As God leads us in the night, to be for Him an awesome light,
Being God’s Witness, in this life, for The Savior, Jesus Christ.

Both The Shores Of My Heart - Original By Rabindranath Tagore

Both the shores of my heart
And my eyes are overflowing!
Now wherever I look
I can't recognize anything!

The attraction is inside
So my heart-river has tide
Today there is so strong storm
I can't build a dam to guide!

Why is it happening in new youth?
Suddenly which wind carries which truth?

My heart is indifferent
Why it has disappointment
My deep desires and sorrow
Are hard to control my friend!

Halo

I never felt like this with anyone before
You only have to smile and i'm dizzy
You make the world go round
A thousand times an hour
Just touch my head
And send me spinning
I never felt like this with anyone before
You show me colours and i'm crying
You hold my eyes in yours
And open up the world
I can't believe all of this
I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything
I never felt like this with anyone before
You fill my head full of rainbows
And all the rainbows end
Is every step you take
Just to be with you forever
I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything

Your Eyes

Youre not in control
when theres demands put on your heart
you dont even know
cause when its real you fall to hard
and yet even so
you try to play like nothings wrong
no you cant run away
there is no hiding place
cause you cant run from your heart
Chorus:
Your eyes they tell me secrets that you
you cant deny
your eyes they show me feelings that you
hold deep inside
how would I know the secrets
that you try to hide
cause when I look in your eyes
the truth is alive
I knew youd be mine
So now that its on
its time to face reality
its time to be strong
take on your insecurities
dont be afraid
youve gotta let your feelins flow
no you cant run away
there is no hiding place
youve gotta be true to your heart
Chorus
now that youre all turned out
dont you just love the way that it feels
yeah, yeah
Now you cant do without my love
and you know its for real
now why youd deny yourself
Id never, never, never understand
because I love you
and you love me too
and that just the way that it is yeah
Chorus (2 times)
your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
they tell me secrets that you keeps inside
your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
dont be afraid aint nowhere to hide
how would I know the secrets that you try to hide
cause when I look in your eyes the truth is alive
I knew youd be mine

Not To Temporary Borrow

What is it you are here to prove?
A truth...
That I borrowed?
And,
What is it you're here to prove and to who?
A truth...
Untold?
With a telling of a version,
You hope gets sold.

The truth I know is in me and it is maintained.
And...
Not to temporary borrow,
No!
The truth I know is in me and it is maintained.
And...
Not to temporary borrow,
No!

What is it you're here to prove and to who?
A truth...
That I borrowed?
Well...
The truth I know is in me and it is maintained.
And...
Not to temporary borrow,
No!
The truth I know is in me and it is sustained.
And...
Not to temporary borrow,
No!
The truth I know is in me and remains unchanged.
And...
Not to temporary borrow,
No!

So practise what you pray
Dont run away

If you are feeling weak so deep inside
No place to run, no place to hide

Today, we stay, and pay attention anyway
Fairplay, everyday dont run away

Respect yourself and you never miss your aim
If you gonna show weakness
You gotta let them know

If you really wanna grow, say no just go

I Want to Be True

I don't want to be clever or witty or wise
I just want to be true.

Truth?

Truth was us when, inside me, you looked into my eyes and found my love,
Truth was us when we laughed and played,
Truth was us when you cared too much for me to make love to me,
Truth was us, when knowing me, you were brave in your words and helped me be true.

Truth?

Truth was your tenderness, your joy, your heart.
Truth was my surrender, my giving, my happiness.
Truth was your love, was my love, was the love we created between us.
The truth was our honesty and ease.

Truth?

Truth is the emptiness I feel at my loss of you,
Truth is my naïve hope, all present, that you will come to me,
Truth is the pain at night while I grieve for you,
Truth is my smile and my love playing the memories.

Truth is this moment, the now, the present.

The truth is I had something more than wonderful, and I can't have it anymore.

The truth is I so wish I was with you.

Truth?

So many truths?

I will be true in the moment. x

My Heart Beats For You

I felt the love so deep in my heart
Like a knife tearing me apart
I felt your breath in every
Pulsating blood vessel flowing
Through my veins, and I knew
That my life would never be the same.

I felt my heart wanting to break
Every time I’d look at your face.
Your eyes would take me on a long journey
To places I’ve never been before
Like in a whirlpool going round and round
And my self going further down.

You are every breath of my life
Every desire in my soul
And you are the one I want to hold.

My heart has become an open book
Pick it up and take a look.
My heart no longer has anything to hide
So come on down and climb inside.

Look at the way a heart truly beats for you
And there is nothing that I wouldn’t do.
To capture your love and put it in a bottle
For all the world to see, that your love
Belongs to me.

This is my heart and I give it to you
Like a bee gives us honey
Taste the sweetness and the joy it brings
For your love is my everything.

The Power Inside Of Me

Seek and you shall find what you may already have
Sometimes its your own shadow standing in your path
I have spent my life with a vision of myself,
But I may have been somebody, somebody else.
I feel a change in the tide
As I hold my heart open wide.
Never
Knew what I could be
I never felt the power inside of me
Now I stand in all the wonder
That the mirror couldnt see.
I have the power inside of me, yeah.
I have the power inside of me.
Every time I held a rose, I only felt the thorns.
I feel like todays the day I finally was born.
Now that I see me through these eyes,
I can do more than fantasize.
Never
Knew what I could be
I never felt the power inside of me
Now I stand in all the wonder
That the mirror couldnt see!
I have the power
Inside of me,
Inside of me!
Yeah

Don't Blame Me

Everybody knows all the highs and all the lows
And in that nothing ever goes right
It's not up to me if you look but you don't see
What could obviously be alright
Like goin' nowhere
Like goin' nowhere baby
Nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
Nowhere you can hide
So don't blame me
There's no guarantee, what you get is what you see
Don't try to find it, just don't try
Don't try living in the past if you want your dreams to last
Don't hide behind the mask of lies
Like goin' nowhere
Like goin' nowhere baby
Nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
So don't blame me
Don't blame me
Don't blame me
Don't blame me
Deep inside of me lives a hunger to be free
I know I'll have to pay the price
I may never know when it comes or when it goes
I guess it's just a part of life

Emotions

i am feeling empty inside
maybe! it's because the feelings that i hide?
at times it's a feeling of loneliness
and at times, it's loves and desires hidden away.
but with all this i have to say.

i will never change the sensations
of feeling different emotions.
love, joy, sadness, bitterness, sorrow, anxieties, and stress.
but closeness is the one i love the best.

to be close and to be inspired, is my lifelong desire.
to have someone to hug you and to tell
you that everything is going to be alright.
and that someone is there, when you're down and out
that is what emotions is all about.

i found love and it was bursting to be free
a love, so deeply hidden inside of me.
i saw the love in someone elses eyes
feelings and emotions that they could not hide.

i felt their exhileration, and each and every sensation.
i felt the pains that a heart must go through
to bring all feelings closer to you.
the heart and the mind work hand in hand
but it is the soul that makes the plan.

(is it the mind that tells the heart what is love, what is pain.
what is sorrow? or is it the heart that tells the mind these things?)

the soul is the one that instills all these things into us
and this is what we have to trust.

emotions is lifes key
it could make you a slave, or set you free.

Truth Of The Heart

I hear your questions
I see your face
Your life before you
Is full of grace
What can I tell you
To let you know
Your angel's eyes
Will watch you grow

Come listen close
And I'll try to let you know
It's all I know

There is no magic
There are no secrets
We all begin this race at the start
But I have come this far
With a truth of the heart

Deep down inside
I think we're all the same
Try not to judge someone
And never shame
I do believe that people are good
They just want hope and respect
And to be understood

Sometimes it hard sometimes it's strange
But the truth of the heart is people can change

Yes there is danger and there are shadows
And there is fear inside the dark
It has powered countries and borne religion
Fear can never rule the heart

My father's burden
My mother's rain
My own desire
My sister's pain
All souls have traveled along this road
Each one has carried their own heavy load
