Lovers Of Love
love makes us blind
and in equal measures
stupidly happy in ourselves
that in thoughts of another
those fears and delights
play upon each emotion
as a child would play
carefree, joyful, alive
as all a soul should be
love is a word
yet more than a word
it is an event horizon
an ever changing happening
for all we do not see
we do not wish to
it is in another's care
that desire ferments
to intoxicate the soul
beautifully happy are we
lovers of love

Stupidly Happy
Im stupidly happy
Everythings fine
Im stupidly happy
My heart pumping wine
Im stupidly happy
With idiot grin
Im stupidly happy
You wont catch me in
All the birds of the air call your name as they land on my kitchen roof
All the fish in the sea do the same if you need extra proof
Im stupidly happy
My vision is skewed
Im stupidly happy
Im coming unscrewed
And if the devil walks up dressed in any disguise
I take him by the collars look him in the eye
Im stupidly happy
Now youre my defense
Im stupidly happy
Its all making sense
Im stupidly happy
I roll like a train
Im stupidly happy
With you in my brain
All the lights of the cars in the town form the strings of a big guitar
Im a giant to play you a tune for wherever you are
Im stupidly happy
Are the words to that song
Im stupidly happy
And nothing is wrong
And should the devil walk up with his business card out
Ill tear it to confetti with a grin and shout,
Im stupidly happy
All of the time
Im stupidly happy
Now youre mine

Oh Love Filled Days
Oh happy day
Oh happy day
When Mary finds
She is entwined
With Grace Devine
Oh happy day
Oh happy day
Oh joyful day
Oh joyful day
When Jesus lay
On a pile of hay
Oh how the angels play
On Christmas day
Oh joyful day
Oh joyful day
Oh love filled day
Oh love filled day
When Jesus lay
In a lonely tomb
From the afternoon
Till he rose on Easter day
Oh love filled day
Oh love filled day
Oh happy day
Oh joyful day
Oh love filled day
Entered the earth
In the most humble way
Taught us how to pray
Took our sins away
Oh happy day
Oh joyful day
Oh love filled days
When he came to stay

Love in my point of view
Love is a mystery leaving no clue
Love is saying I love you
Love is looking at your loved one without saying a word and enjoy it
Love is rare
Love makes us swear
Love makes us care
Love is giving all your heart
Love has its own language that only the ones in love can understand
Love is being more than a friend
Love is hugging the soul
And never letting go
Love is a very special word
If you really mean it
Tell it to the world
Let your soul be heard…

The Beginning of a Hearts Affections
What is this come to pain, hearts affections
A word named love by many tongues
How it overwhelms the mind beyond all reason
What beauty is accredited to this force
That no living soul immune to its touch
can say to have defied such emotion
No love by its own name is completion
What else could claim such conquest over man
A word, a thought, a feeling, what is this
To now find freedom meaningless is pain
But what pains more than being without that soul
Who began the beginning of this event
A soul whom arrived here in full beauty
Has now a heart sworn unto its protection

Entrances and Exits
Love entered quietly
Remarkable in its simplicity
Yet unmarked.
Unremarked, stealthily.
The event had no advent.
Uneventful.
Eventually it was noticed.
The start of an adventure,
That which had gone unnoticed.
Full of its self,
Self fulfilled,
Came to the fore.
Forward centre stage,
It staged its own event.
A play.
Play on words,
Put a word in.
The last word.
Sad word,
Password,
Passed words.
To faded away,
Unremarked.
Quietly love exited.

You leave me feeling
That this is no accident
That we’re just catching up
On something meant to be
And here I am smiling
Stupidly happy with you
There is nothing to understand
No reason to look for
We are doing as we feel
And enjoying each moment
That we share together
I guess we are being oblivious
To what others may see
Why should we care
Let us be as we are being
Stupidly happy you and me
What a feeling to feel
This is no accident
Like children we laugh
Playing silly games
We are stupidly happy
You and me

Speak The Word
Unsettled hearts
Promise what they cant deliver
Bring me the wine
And the cold night air to clear my head
Gray matter memory house
Master of this trembling flesh
Steady still my doubts
Let me speak the word that precedes bliss
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Love love love love love love love love
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Love love love love love love love love
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
These weakened knees
Have not touched ground or pew in ages
I havent bowed my head
I offer thanks to any God or to ask for favors
But watch me now
Im falling down
Praying
To speak the word that precedes bliss
To speak the word
To speak the word
Love love love love love love love love
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Love love love love love love love love
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word

Never say it is not God
Never say it is not God.
Hafiz said that, lived it.
And that’s all really:
no need to dress it up,
make a poem of it,
claim it, as if
I thought of it first..
And anyway it’s personal:
you and I could spend days
discussing what the last word means;
finish up hating each other.
It happens. And they have
a rifle in their hand, a bomb.
It’s a divine game,
the game God plays.
You know the games all lovers play:
‘Where are you darling? ’
‘I’m not here.. come and find me…’
ah yes - the bedroom…
‘You only love me for my body…’
‘Yes darling… but I love you for your mind too, , , ’
‘But you’re always arguing with my mind…’
‘Yes darling – that’s why I love you…’
‘Will you love me when I’m old and wrinkled and crumbly? ’
‘Darling, I’ll love you all the more…’
‘I love every bit of you…’
‘Ah but do you love me with every bit of you…? ’
‘I’m a striped tiger come to eat you up every bit…ggrr…’
‘And I’m a lion come to gobble up the tiger…’
Ah yes, the games that lovers play…
What makes you think God does not love
to play these games with you?
And even when you call Him God,
and not your Lover, or your Friend,
as Hafiz does - and many other names beside,
that could be His best game of all…
when the whole universe
and all its creatures, run
toward you, calling out
‘I’m Yours… I’m yours for life…’
as lovers do.
Never say it is not God.

Love Is.............................
Love is desire,
Love is on fire,
Love is my word,
Love is to hold,
Love is my sin,
Love is my dream.
Love is lust,
Love is my truth,
Love is my journey,
Love makes me horny,
Love is on me,
Love is what you see,
Love teach me how,
Love takes a bow,
Love never dies,
Love is a surprise,
Love take care of you,
Love is true,
Love is my faith,
Love is great,
Love is so real,
Love is dear,
Love is you,
I love you, always do

How sweetly writ this play
This tale of a found devotion
A heart which soon discovers
It has been blind to the realisation
Of how one already so well known
Yet often sadly unnoticed
Is to be a new loves beginning
How beautifully fair it speaks
To love and romance each word
The eye which finally saw
All that had been missed in days gone
Was as once dreamt beautiful
And so in dedication to such love
A devotion began to serve
That which was to be written
A play of a tale named elation
Set free the eyes and the mind
Do not hold the heart and soul
Set free to realise the beauty
Waiting to be written

At play
Play that you are mother dear,
And play that papa is your beau;
Play that we sit in the corner here,
Just as we used to, long ago.
Playing so, we lovers two
Are just as happy as we can be,
And I'll say "I love you" to you,
And you say "I love you" to me!
"I love you" we both shall say,
All in earnest and all in play.
Or, play that you are that other one
That some time came, and went away;
And play that the light of years agone
Stole into my heart again to-day!
Playing that you are the one I knew
In the days that never again may be,
I'll say "I love you" to you,
And you say "I love you" to me!
I love you!" my heart shall say
To the ghost of the past come back to-day!
Or, play that you sought this nestling-place
For your own sweet self, with that dual guise
Of your pretty mother in your face
And the look of that other in your eyes!
So the dear old loves shall live anew
As I hold my darling on my knee,
And I'll say "I love you" to you,
And you say "I love you" to me!
Oh, many a strange, true thing we say
And do when we pretend to play!

Gambol (a ghazal)
Received and given, preening doves
in courtship sway, they play for love.
Children bouncing balls off walls,
a ricochet they play for love.
Sculptors stories live in folds
of molded clay they play for love.
Gamblers stake to make or break
in rash parley they play for love.
Newlyweds on feather beds
in hideaways, they play for love.
Chiropractors whack the cracks
on vertebrae they play for love.
Glissandi slip from fingertips,
a strummed segue they play for love.
Scrabble rivals settle scores
in worded fray they play for love.
Shady names inflame with games
in sobriquet, they play for love.
Players love and lovers play
I love to play, I play for love.

What's Not to Love in Perfection
You know I love you
Yet you seem not to notice
When I smile at you
You turn away
What's wrong?
I'm beautiful
I'm strong
I'm intelligent
I'm athletic
I'm funny
In a word; perfect
You know I love you
Yet you ignore me when I speak
You make short conversation
We hardly speak
Or see eachother
Because you turn a blind eye to my love
Why?
I sing
I dance
I write
I play sports
I act
In a word; perfect
You're funny
You play sports
You like to laugh
You inhabit my dreams
You inhabit my thoughts
You are the air I breathe
You are the smile on my lips
You are the laughter in my eyes
You are the sunlight I see
You are the only thing I need
You are the black hole in my atmosphere
In a word; perfect

My Body and Soul
Love is the greatest feeling,
Love is like a play,
Love is what I feel for you,
Each and every day,
Love is like a smile,
Love is like a song,
Love is a great emotion,
That keeps us going strong,
I love you with my heart,
My body and my soul,
I love the way I keep loving,
Like a love I can't control,
So remember when your eyes meet mine,
I love you with all my heart,
And I have poured my entire soul into you,
Right from the very start

Iam Happy, Thats It!
Its strange..
Now a days
Iam happy for no reason
Iam happy because Iam alive
Iam happy because I can breathe
My body is responding to my mind properly
I love my body, I love myself
I love my soul, I love others,
They love me too…
My environs are not affecting me
Its not hallucination
Iam not dreaming
Its not that tough; believe me,
It’s strange
Now a days
Iam not finding the reason to be happy
Iam happy and that’s it!

Love Is A Looser
Love me forever
Let me know that you'll
Never leave me out in the cold
Never leave me alone
I'll show you devotion
Can't control my emotion
I've got love on my side
Hey what a surprise
They say love
Is just infatuation
I say love
Is dancing 'cross the nation
Love's so appealing
Leaves you rockin' and reelin'
How did it happen this time
Got love on my mind
Hold me and kiss me
Tell me how much you missed me
How can they keep us apart
Got love in our hearts
They say we're just
Two more crazy lovers
I say all we need
Is one another
Oh Lord how they gonna stop us today
My word see how the passionless play
Love me forever
Let me know that you'll
Never leave me out in the cold
Never leave me alone
I'll show you devotion
Can't control my emotion
I've got love on my side
Hey what a surprise
They say love
Is just infatuation
I say love
Is dancing 'cross the nation
Oh Lord how they gonna stop us today
My word see how the passionless play
Dancin' across the nation
Dancin' across the nation

Love Whispers Intimacy Lips
this is love
the lovers' touch
when light
quivers in eyes
when eyelashes
butterfly kiss
naked caress
soft lovers' skin
love whispers
intimacy lips
in firefly flight
heard in touch
two pierced souls
share heart hearing
hands fingertip
love soft caring
bodies depth dance
love lock soul trance
beautifully described
beautifully depicted
in one soul breath
in one soul vision
touch of two souls
one in loves embraces

Fill Your Heart
Fill your heart with love today
Dont play the game of time
Things that happened in the past
Only happened in your mind
Only in your mind, ah forget your mind
And youll be free-yeah
The writings n the wall
Free-yeah and you can know it all
If you choose. just remember
Lovers never lose
cause they are free of thoughts unpure
And of thoughts unkind
Gentleness clears the soul
Love cleans the mind
And makes it free
Free
Oh happiness is happening
Dragons have been bled
Gentleness is everywhere
Fears just in your head
Only in your head
Fear is in your head
Only in your head
So forget your head
And youll be free
The writings on the wall
Free-yeah, and you can know it all
If you choose. just remember
Lovers never lose
cause they are free of thoughts unpure
And of thoughts unkind
Gentleness clears the soul
Love cleans the mind
And make you free!!
Free-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Free-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Free-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Free-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Free-yeah
