The Afterlife of Death

Why should mankind not face
the thought of afterlife?

For half the world or so,
there is no great concern:
in time you just come round again
to improve upon your last performance –like
an athlete, daily training round the track

which if it’s so, then, perhaps, how sad
that we are not aware just how we’ve done this time,
compared with how we did last time -
it might be quite a spur!

of course, if heaven’s way beyond
all boundaries of time and space
we can surrender with relief
our picture of our tone-deaf self
learning to play the.. harp..?
or engaging in those activities
(outside time and space?)
which Islam seems to promise…

but if the whole Creation, as it’s said,
is all one single act of love,
then let’s imagine death, or afterlife
a part of that same divine love:
for if, as every religion expresses in its way,
our god is love – then how can death
not be a part of that same love?

so (as those who have nearly died, aver)
there stand to welcome us, all the family
and friends that we have ever known and loved;
but with this difference: that seen
with all the vision of that total love
we understand all our, and their, apparent differences
and see this from that heart of total love..

and if it’s so, that once again
we have to re-enter earth’s burning atmosphere
born into another life that we’ve now earned,
our first cry and tear and heavenly smile
may tell all

And if perhaps this seems all fantasy – then,
perhaps, if all is love,
love’s sleep, love’s dream, and love’s awakening –
and also, this, my fantasy of love in death,
may all be samely, simply, love.

Love The Time

Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
You have for you
Love the time you spend outside
Because this nice weather won't last very long
Fall is on its way soon
Love the time
To listen for the song of the birds
This might be the last time
Love the time
You have to reflect on your life
Love the time
You are worshiping God
Love the time that you are discovering your feelings
Love the time that you are learning about yourself
Love the time
Your soul waits in silence for God only
He is your rock and your salvation
Love the time
To dream
Love the time to paint a picture in your mind
Love the time
When you have a positive attitude
Love the time
When you are in the valley of the shadow
You will fear no evil
Because you are with God now
Love the time
Because you belong together with God
Love the time
That you are being yourself
Love the time
That you are moving on
And doing better things to improve your spirit
Love the time that you are gaining your trust back
Love the time that you are gaining self respect
Love the time that you are building your self esteem up
Love the time that you are watching the gold star at night
Love the time that God carried you to solidarity
Love the time that God will bear you up
So that you will not strike your foot against a stone
Love the time that you saw the great light
Because there were people that were sitting in the dark
And you were the lucky one
Love the time that God has opened up the door for you
Love the time that God has given you a chance
Love the time to know that the past is a part of you
Love the time that God is comforting you when you are sad
Love the time when you see writings on the wall
That you can read
Love the time to enjoy your freedom
Love the time when you are flying on the airplane
And looking out through the Airplane window
The sunset in the sky
Love the time when you sing out the blues
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time that God will set you free
Love the time when the sun will rise early in the morning in the summer
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time
Love the time to know that age is no barrier to beauty

Love Is Many Things

Love is beautiful
Love is kind
Love is wonderful
Love is great to find

Love is not me first
Love is not, look what I’ve got
Love is not a game
Love should never be for naught

Love is warm
Love is comfort
Love is a heart aglow
Love does take effort

Love is not a sacrifice
Love is not surrender
Love should not be dismal
Regardless of your gender

Love is strength
Love is vision
Love is something
All should be given

Love is not only good times
Love is not only passion
Love should never be part time
Hopefully love will be everlasting

Love, what a beautiful word
Love sometimes is never heard
Love should never be used
Love should never be abused

Hidden Meaning

To death do us part
Does that mean death of the heart
Or growing old in age
That might be like being trapped for all your days

There are too many ways to look at this-but not enough time to comprehend
What this means, and where its meaning ends
Im not sure how to say it
But I’m sure you’ll understand-that it means love and life will exist to the end

Not necessarily together-no not at all
Love grows old and fades away
But some things are here to stay
Love them for all your time, and don’t forget what love was mine

To death do us part; the irony so discreet
And some of us, that irony will meet
When it happens then you’ll know
Why love and death are not one

So death do us part,
What do you say
Is your meaning for now and today
Or will it be for along the way

Until then, I will try
And even see what I can find
Death do us part, I’ll figure you out
And when I do, I’ll find that route
The path between death and love
And see if it intertwines

If it doesn’t then I’ll know
That life and love were meant to grow
To flourish in the great divine
Of course...that love wont be mine

Her...

I can never get my mind off her,
I wonder if she'd mind if i'd,
make her my own,
and never let her go,
hug her tight,
treat her right,
act all polite,
take her on a date,
make sure i'm never late,
kiss her on her lips,
talk about our kids,
Make her feel like princess,
living in a castle,
hope that is not too much hassle,
But i am so blessed,
hope i can be the best,
hold you tight,
have your BR3A$t,
on my chest,
pass the test,
NOW YOUR MINE!

My Love Will Not Let You Down

At night I go to bed
But I just cant sleep
I got something runnin around my head
Ooh that just wont keep
In the silence I hear my heart beatin
Time slippin away
I got a time bomb tickin deep inside of me
Girl all I want to say
I keep searchin for you darlin
Searchin everywhere I go
And when I find you theres gonna be just one thing that you gotta know
One thing you gotta know
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
At night I walk the streets lookin for romance
But I always end up stumblin in a half trance
I search for a connection in some new eyes
That hardly protect you from too many dreams passed by
I see you standin, across the room watchin me without a sound
Im gonna push my way through that crowd
Im gonna tear your holy walls down
Tear all your walls down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
Well hold still now darlin
Hold still for gods sake
Cause I got me a promise
I aint afraid to make (I aint afraid to make)
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

Love Comes

Words and music by robin zander & rick nielsen
Love comes round just in time
Something thats hard to find
Oh, no one knows what Ive been goin through
Same old song, how does it go?
Same old line, is it all we know?
And love comes round
In time to rescue me
Oh love!
Love comes around
Just in time
Love comes to save my heart (save my heart)
Oh love!
Love comes around
Love comes to save my heart (love comes round)
Love comes round just in time
Something thats hard to find
Oh kiss me now
You know I want you to
Oh love!
Love comes around
Just in time
Love comes to save my heart (save my heart)
Oh love!
Love comes around
Yes it does
Love comes to save my heart (love comes round)
Sometimes it slips on in slowly
Sometimes it makes itself lonley
Under the cover of darkness
Sometimes it feels oh so heartless
Oh love! (love comes around)
Save my heart
Love comes around (love comes around)
(love comes around) yes it does
Love comes to save my heart (save my heart)
Oh love!
Love comes around
Love comes to save my heart (love comes round)
Love comes around
Love comes to save my heart

She Don't Love Me

I love her but she don’t love me
She thinks she love another man
And he’s no good you understand

I love her but she don’t love me
Running round drinking every night
He’ll never treat my baby right

I love her but she don’t love me
She don’t know the things he does
She don’t know the women he loves

I love her but she don’t love me
How long before she quits the chase
Seeing chasing that man is a total waste

I love her but she don’t love me
He’s not the kind to settle down
Breaking hearts all over town

I love her but she don’t love me
I tell her every chance I get
She’s not ready to accept that yet

I love her but she don’t love me
I’m going to get me that girl
Show her that she is my world

I love her but she don’t love me
Can’t anyone love her as I do
If you knew her you’d love her to

I love her she don’t love me
I have loved her for many years
She caused me to shed many tears

I love her she don’t love me
Thinking of her my heart bleeds
I’m always there anytime she needs

I love her but she don’t love me
I’ll live in misery on my own
If I can’t have her I’ll die alone

Love's No Fun

Everyday I used 2 watch U pass my house on the way 2 school
My heart skipped 4 beats checking out the way your body moved
No one can walk the way U do, it's so cool (So cool)
Imagine how I felt when I saw my best friend with her arm around U
Love's no fun when the one U love don't love U
I went 2 a movie show, the only place that I could go away from U
I seem 2 see your face in every part of my life, no matter what I do
But there U were 4 everyone 2 see, kissing like fools
I covered my face and pretended that I didn't know what I knew
That love's no fun when the one U love don't love U, oh
I go 2 bed early every night so I can dream
Of another space and another time when U belonged 2 me
And in my dreams U talk 2 me whispering oh so sweet (So sweet)
U promised that if I'm always there 4 U, U'll be there 4 me
(With U, with U)
And then I wake and say that love's no fun without U (No it ain't, no no)
Love's no fun when the one U love don't love U
(I don't wanna be without love)
Love's no fun when the one U love don't love U
(Do U hear me, do U hear me?)
Love's no fun when the one U love don't love U, oh

What Love Is That Way

(G BurrKeith Urban)
You come here lookin' for sympathy
Cause it's not everything you thought it would be
Don't waste your time
You can't understand why it comes and goes
The sudden storms, the highs and lows
So you stand here cryin'
Girl get in line
CHORUS:
What love is that way
You're waitin' time pretending
What love is that way
When you walk through life expecting
So much, so soon
Love can only hurt you
What love is that way
What love is ever that way
The more you wish and the more you dream
The more the reality never seems
What it ought to be
It's never perfect as when it begins
Time always seems to put an end
To the fantasy, It seems to me
REPEAT CHORUS
So much, so soon, Love can only hurt you
What love is that way
What love is ever that way, What love is that way
REPEAT TO FADE

Love; sacred and secrets.

When was the first time you hear one say i love you?
How did it sound?
Love, love, love, love.
Just like a band.
When was the time love was renounced?
How did it start?
Love, love, love, love.
Just like a right.
When was the time love tell a lie?
How did it lie?
Love, love, love, love.
like Ananias.
When was the time love lived in the heart?
How did it survive?
Love, love, love, love.
like the christ.
When was the time love got baptised?
How did she vow?
I love, i do, i am
in love and now.

I Love You

I love you when you laugh with me
I love you when you smile
I love you when you're mad at me
Hope it's only for a while

I love you when you talk with me
I love you when you yell
I love you when you ignore me
Even though it feels like hell

I love you when you listen
I love you when you cry
I love more & more everyday
Without you I would die

I love you when we go for walks
I love you when we eat
I love you for your time with me
Your presence is a treat

I love you when you gaze at me
I love you when your gone
Although I'd rather be with you
My love for you goes on

I love you when you encourage me
I love you when your cold
I love you when your critical
With you I want to grow old

I love the way you love me
I love you when you hate
I love you through our journey
For you are my soul mate

I love you when you hurt me
Your words they cut so deep
I love you when you touch me
I love you in my sleep

I love you every second
I love you when we're foes
I love you when your my best friend
Cause that's the way love goes

I love you with everything I am
And with everything I do
Even though we are not perfect
I love you because you're you

I'll love you when I'm in Heaven
I will love you from above
I'll love to watch your journey finish
I love you, you're my love

I Promise You

it's in the silences,
The words you never say
I see it in your eyes,
It always starts the same way
It seems like everyone we know is breaking up
Does anybody ever stay in love, anymore?
I promise you,
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like i never love again
With everything i am
Ooh i see you look at me,
When you think i'm not aware
You're searching for clues,
Of just how deep my feelings are.
How do you prove the sky is blue, the oceans wide?
All i know is what i feel,
When i look into your eyes
I promise you,
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like i never love again
With everything that i am ooh yeah
Oh there are no guarantees
That's what you always say to me
But late at night i feel the tremble in your touch
Oh what i'm trying to say to you,
I never said to anyone i promise
I promise you,
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
(i do my darling i promise you)
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like i never love again
With everything i am i promise you,
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
( i love you i love you i love you i love you)
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like i never love again
With everything i am
You're everything i am oh yeah
With everything i am

Love Is Hope

If we lose someone close to us,
We feel a sting in our Loving Heart
They are love
They Are Tender
They are Care
Love is hope

Love is Family
Love is Friends
Love is Heaven
Love Is Desire
Love is Hope

Love in Death is impossible,
Love in life is sweet
losing those you love is saddening
Resulting a hole in that heart

Forever, life and Death
Love is always there
Family, Live or dead
still love you
From Beyond the netherworld.
Love is hope

In My Opinion
Love Is Dear
Love is true
love is there
But most importantly
LOVE Is Hope

everywhere, Even The Lord
God Loves you
His love eternal everlasting
His Love, his Son
Love is hope.

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

Love Is

What is love, Love can't see you but you can't see it
Love is a sneaky thing I guess sort of slick

Love can hurt and Love can heal
Love can be born and Love can kill

Love has won and Love has lost
Love can catch and Love can toss

Love can stand and Love can fall
Love is small and Love is tall

Love is right and Love is wrong
Love is weak but Love is strong

Love is up and Love is down
Love can smile and Love can frown

Love is good and Love can be bad
Love is quite and Love can brag

Love is a little and Love is a lot
Love contiues and Love stops

Love can hope and Love can dream
Love can talk and Love can sing

Love can be a word or Love can be a ring
Love can be nothing or Love can be everything

So where is this thing we call Love
I dont know the only real love we have comes from above...
