Leftover Beauty

Too many words.
Tangles in a jumbled mind.

One moment a raging hurricane
the next a little breeze

hurrying these last few leaves
down a dark deserted street.

Toying for a moment
with the other season's leftover beauty.

The Missing Link

I play my guitar
I sing from my heart
and people clap.

There is this short
moment, a moment
of being heard,
a moment of being
valued on the scene.

At the end of the show
people say thanks,
words of appreciation,
words that warm the heart
and elevate the mind.

It is only a brief moment,
a brief moment
of feeling different,
as someone special
among the crowd.

And after this moment,
comes the monotone
moments of feeling alone,
of being lost in the dark.

The Miracle of a Moment

A week?
A day?
An hour?
Time enough
For excellence
A moment?
Too little!
Too swift!
Too short!
Too brief!
Not so
Not right
Not true
A moment?
It’s enough!

Pregnant with possibilities
A moment
Overflowing with opportunities
A Moment
Saturated with significance
A moment
Rich with reality
A moment
Bursting with beauty
A moment
Loaded with life
A moment
Encoded with eternity
A moment
Maximize every moment

The Beauty Of This Moment

THE BEAUTY OF THIS MOMENT

The beauty of this moment -
The beauty of this place-
The rest-
No one can take from me-
I’m just here-
The cool breeze also-

I did not do anything today-
It’s alright-
I’m just here-
And I can look and rest-

Soon I will be gone.

My Dad and Mom

Life is a raging storm with never a moment of lull
One day he spoke to me, the day after broke his skull
It was my dad, sprightly and strong
Full of life with a youthful mind
But death shadowed him and before long
He was gone whereto I’ll never find!
My mom was a beauty my life’s brightest star
Hard it was to spend a moment without her
It was my mom, a soft and loving mind
Her fragrance spread wide and far
But nothing deters it, death is never kind
She was gone before I got enough of her!

One Mirror Too Many

From the moment you see
The moment you breath
The moment I touch you
From the moment you crawl
The moment you fall
The instant I loved you again
From the moment of darkness
The moment of light
The second I kissed you
From the moment I enter
The moment I leave
In this moment of rapture
Chorus
One mirror to many gonna tie you up
A life forever empty has got to be tough
To many starless night gonna leave you blind
Can never make it right
From the moment you stumble
The moment you run
In your presence I crumble
From the moment it happens
The moment you know
Theres no life without you

The Eye of Beauty

Krishna passed that mountain many times;
and yet his followers observed that day
that all his mind was filled with fresh delight
as if he'd never walked, nor seen, that way;

the beauty of the mountain ever new,
the moment of its sight, the world reborn;
the mind surprised by what it always knew:
the beauty past all beauty's name and form.

This is true beauty, in ourself revealed:
a sight that's ever fresh, yet ever known;
which eye sees pure, yet mind too oft conceals:
God's unity, in beauty seen; all, One;

The moment's grace of beauty, ours all day;
from outward eye the sight of inward Way.

Where Are You?

I know I think a lot
But somehow it just doesnt help
It only makes it worse
The more I think
The more I know
The more it hurts
With only solitude to meet me like a friend
Oh, where are you?
Where are you ? where are you?
Maybe she sits alone
Beyond the storm
Across the raging torrent of the sea
She knows I want her
And she knows Ill always be...
How can I live without the love I cannot see
Oh where are you?
Where are you ?
Where are you?
Oooooooohhhh
I know theres someone there
I hear her breathe
Behind the silence of the dark
But I know that I wont see
til we open up our eyes together
Shell look at me
What a moment that moment will be!
And she looks so light
I could fly her through the night
Oooh
I know I think a lot
But somehow it just doesnt help
It only goes to show
That what you never miss
You never know
But I have loved you from the moment that we knew
Oh, I love you
I love you
But where are you?

This Is The Moment

This is the moment
This is the day
This is the moment
When I know
I am on my way
Every endeavor
I have made ever
Is coming into play
Is here and now today
This is the moment
This the time
When the momentum
And the moment
are in rhyme
Give me this moment
My precious chance
I'll gather up my best
And make some sense atlast
This is the moment
When all I've done
All of the dreaming,
scheming
And screaming
becomes one
This is the day,
Just see it shine
When all that I have lived for
Becomes mine
This is the moment
This is the hour
When I can open up,
Tomorrow
like a flower
And put my hand to
Everything I plan to
Fulfill my grand desire
See all my stars align
This is the moment
My final test
Destiny beckoned
I never reckoned second best
I won't look back
I must not fall
This is the moment
The sweetest moment
Of them all
This is the moment
So double the odds
This day or never
I'll sit forever
with the gods
When I look back
I will recall
Moment for moment
This was the moment
The greatest moment of them all.

Moment In Paradise

Oh, yeah
She never cried, she only tried
To fly beyond her dreams
No walls around her mind
Deep inside shed try to hide
That she was way beyond her means
No borders and no lines
She said that its your duty to save your soul
To save it for someone
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
She floated out upon the wind
That blew my thoughts into the night
She knew the things she had to know
She drifted high above my mind
Blew my brains out, did alright
I think she knew it all along
She said that its your duty to save your soul
To save it for someone
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
She said that its your duty to save your soul
To save it for someone
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise

Sometimes There Is A Moment

Sometimes there's a moment,
That we don't want to change.
Sometimes there's a moment,
Where we are truly happy.
Sometimes there's a moment,
That you want to last forever.
Sometimes there's a moment,
That you look back on and smile.
Sometimes there's a moment,
When you see someone in a brilliant way.
But there's always a moment,
Where that person's changes.
There's always a moment,
Where that image fades.

Feel the Moment

Feel the moment
And be present.
Smell the aroma of the moment
And never show that you are absent.

Feel the moment
The moment of dialogue
The moment of possibilities
The moment of expectation.
The moment of love.

Grab the moment
Treasure it as a priceless jewel
Claim it as a great gift
Hold it as your very own.

Moment To Moment

Too many nights of isolation
Too many echoes in my head
Too many fires left burning
In this bed
Too many thoughts of desperation
So much pain deep down below
So mych a slave to my senses
I cant let go
From moment to moment
I live and I die
This cant go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This cant go on anymore
Unless we both give it all
I ask you how can a man keep his distance
How can he reason with his heart
How can you hold me so near
Yet keep me so far
From moment to moment
I live and I die
This cant go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This cant go on anymore
Unless we both give it all
Sometimes Id like to break you down
To see if theres a trace of woman in you that could be found
But I just keep prayin youll come around
And live from moment to moment
I live from moment to moment
I live from moment to moment
So much a slave to my senses
I cant let go
From moment to moment
I live and I die
This cant go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This cant go on anymore
Unless we both give it all
You know I want to give it all
I live from moment to moment
Everyday of my life
I live from moment to moment

In This Moment

In life there comes a moment when all things are made clear, and my clarity is in this moment.
In this moment I know that I want to live the rest of my life beside you.
In this moment I know I want to start my own branch on my family tree with you.
In this moment I know that I love you.
So as I take your hand and gaze into your eyes I know that this moment is the right moment to ask you to be my wife.
Now, before you say yes think because if you do our life together forever begins
in this moment.

Fall

Fall, falling, fallen. That's the way the season
Changes its tense in the long-haired maples
That dot the road; the veiny hand-shaped leaves
Redden on their branches (in a fiery competition
With the final remaining cardinals) and then
Begin to sidle and float through the air, at last
Settling into colorful layers carpeting the ground.
At twilight the light, too, is layered in the trees
In a season of odd, dusky congruences—a scarlet tanager
And the odor of burning leaves, a golden retriever
Loping down the center of a wide street and the sun
Setting behind smoke-filled trees in the distance,
A gap opening up in the treetops and a bruised cloud
Blamelessly filling the space with purples. Everything
Changes and moves in the split second between summer's
Sprawling past and winter's hard revision, one moment
Pulling out of the station according to schedule,
Another moment arriving on the next platform. It
Happens almost like clockwork: the leaves drift away
From their branches and gather slowly at our feet,
Sliding over our ankles, and the season begins moving
Around us even as its colorful weather moves us,
Even as it pulls us into its dusty, twilit pockets.
And every year there is a brief, startling moment
When we pause in the middle of a long walk home and
Suddenly feel something invisible and weightless
Touching our shoulders, sweeping down from the air:
It is the autumn wind pressing against our bodies;
It is the changing light of fall falling on us.

A Moment Of Passion

A moment of Passion so easily shared,
With no fear or regret,
The momories flood through my mind,
A moment of Passion I'll never forget
A moment of Passion is like a drug,
It takes me so high,
Needing to get another fix,
A moment of Passion can never lie
A moment of Passion when we are alone,
You desire it too,
Unable to control it,
A moment of Passion shared with YOU

My Last Moment

It'll be the moment of excitement,
When I'll stop the movement,
When there would be no more improvement,
The moment I will ask no more.

It'll be the time I will kill the moment,
When there will be one entertainment,
What I call the last achievement,
The moment I will ask no more.

The moment I'll stop being a student,
No more blames to the government,
That time of no more being prudent,
The moment I will ask no more.

It will be such an incident,
A woman being pregnant,
And my name becomes important,
The moment I will say no more

It shouldn't be abhorrent,
If a wise man will faint,
It will be my accomplishment,
The moment I will say no more.

Unable to control it,

The Boiling Water

A serious moment for the water is
when it boils
And though one usually regards it
merely as a convenience
To have the boiling water
available for bath or table
Occasionally there is someone
around who understands
The importance of this moment
for the water—maybe a saint,
Maybe a poet, maybe a crazy
man, or just someone
temporarily disturbed
With his mind 'floating'in a
sense, away from his deepest
Personal concerns to more
'unreal' things...

A serious moment for the island
is when its trees
Begin to give it shade, and
another is when the ocean
washes
Big heavy things against its side.
One walks around and looks at
the island
But not really at it, at what is on
it, and one thinks,
It must be serious, even, to be this
island, at all, here.
Since it is lying here exposed to
the whole sea. All its
Moments might be serious. It is
serious, in such windy weather,
to be a sail
Or an open window, or a feather
flying in the street...

Seriousness, how often I have
thought of seriousness
And how little I have understood
it, except this: serious is urgent
And it has to do with change. You
say to the water,
It's not necessary to boil now,
and you turn it off. It stops
Fidgeting. And starts to cool. You
put your hand in it
And say, The water isn't serious
any more. It has the potential,
However—that urgency to give
off bubbles, to
Change itself to steam. And the
wind,
When it becomes part of a
hurricane, blowing up the
beach
And the sand dunes can't keep it
away.
Fainting is one sign of
seriousness, crying is another.
Shuddering all over is another
one.

A serious moment for the
telephone is when it rings.
And a person answers, it is
Angelica, or is it you.

A serious moment for the fly is
when its wings
Are moving, and a serious
moment for the duck
Is when it swims, when it first
touches water, then spreads
Its smile upon the water...

A serious moment for the match
is when it burst into flame...

Serious for me that I met you, and
serious for you
That you met me, and that we do
not know
If we will ever be close to anyone
again. Serious the recognition
of the probability
That we will, although time
stretches terribly in
between...

Love Yourself...I Do!

I love myself…in and of this very moment

I will be what I can be
In and of this very moment

For this very moment
Is all that truly exists

Yesterday… no more than a memory
An fading echo in the mist

Tomorrow…only an expectation
Of what our mind thinks is to yet to be

Tomorrow…a figment of our imagination
That we may never come to see

The choice is mine
To be mellow…to have bliss

I’ll not belittle myself
Nor hold myself remiss

Today I’ll see and recognize
Only things worthy and good

For in this moment, I realize
Of what not to value…and of what I should

Today…yes this very moment
I’ll like me…and I’ll persist

For this very precious moment…right now
Is all that truly…exists

Love yourself…forgive yourself
live in and of… this very moment

Our History's Start

The moment I walked in
The moment our eyes locked

The moment I begged my heart not to do this
But it wouldn't stop

The moment you smiled at me
And became the only person in the room
I could see

The moment I looked at you
And saw our faces were only a breath apart

Is the moment that will be remembered
As our history's start
