Amoral...
Beyond morality and besides
immorality, lies the gray area of
amorality...
it is an exploration of the possibilities
of our humanity
where we are like innocent children
without any bias for
anything that we think is new
and feasible....
something that must perfect
the art of sharing
complete the fruiting of the works
of love....
not just about things, or events
a book, a dinner at the mountaintop,
a conversation at the ridge,
a time in bed, or even the sharing of
some dreams
those that do not bother us after
that which makes us comfortable despite its strangeness
the one that they call wild
and impossible
but which they have not tried themselves
as the restraint was only existing in their minds
with the heart
still thirsty and hungry and
vehemently disagreeing.

Let Me Be The First To Know
If you find a time when things just seem to fall apart
And theres no way to keep a cheery face
When the sight of your own reflection only breaks your heart
And all your dreams have given up the chase
Pick up the telephone
You know Im always home
Any old time of night or day
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
If you find a time when you just have to walk away
Because of a call to pastures new
Youre in need of some fresh words to wish you on your way
You need to fly on up and touch the moon
Sharing this temporary weight
No time to hesitate
I will be everything you need
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first ...
Were water breaking on an endless wave
Potential bursting from the sea
Compassion is what sets our minds apart
Be cheerful when you break
The chains of morality
Oo, sharing this welcome weight
Dont even hesitate
I will be everything you need
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first one to know

Time
I know that i, I cant believe
Just what the past has brought me
To the man I wanna be
I know that we have had some times
That we cant forget the struggle
Cause we have so far to go
I know weve changed but
Change can be so good
So lets not forget why
Its understood that
Chorus:
Time, look where we are and what weve been through
Time, sharing our dreams
Time, goes on and on everyday, baby
Time is what it is
Come what mayc(come what may)
I remember when, mom used to say
That things are getting better
And youll soon be on your way
Remember those days
When we would sing at the drop of a dime (oooh)
Way back when nothing mattered (mmm, mm, mm)
I know weve changed, but
Change can be so good
Oh so lets not forget why its understood that
Chorus:
Time, look where we are and what weve been through
(look where we are)
Time, sharing our dreams (dreams, dreams, dreams, oh yeah)
Time, (goes on and on) goes on and on everyday (everyday)
Time is what it is (oh)
Come what may (come what may)
Bridge:
So here we are (here we are)
And well always stay together
And through it all you know we owe it all to you, you, you , you
Time goes on and on
Chorus:
Time (time), look where we are and what weve been through
Time, sharing our dreams
Time, (goes on and on) goes on and on everyday (everyday)
Time is what it is (time is what is it)
Time (time), look where we are and what weve been through
Time (time), sharing our dreams (sharing our dreams)
Time, (goes on and on) goes on and on everyday
Time is what it is, come what may
Time, goes on and on everyday, time is what it is
Come what may
Come what may

Faded Dreams
Faded Dreams
Written by Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, November 18,2012
Now I know dreams don't come true
For I wont be sharing them with you
No walking in the park
No sharing kisses in the dark
No showing you off to my friends
No spending romantic weekends
No more rides for all it's worth
No taking you to the land of my birth
Your tender hands I wanted to hold
Now the truth begins to unfold
Now the music has died
Just because to me you lied
In time all things reveal
Secrets no longer conceal
Happy life to me was ideal
Now I know how you truly feel
Your actions show you don't care
When I call you're not there
To comfort you I did my best
Put above all the rest
Gave you all that I could give
I would go hungry so you could live
Hours with you I did spend
Not even a letter you would send
Now my dreams have faded away
But I'll be alright come what may
Things time will not erase
Questions pondered you couldn't face
No more time on you I'll waste
No longer for the breeze I will chase
Dreams don't always come true
For god knows I had really loved you

Disjointed
I avoid misunderstandings.
Especially with those who seek to be understood.
Why spend time with someone
Who wants to take your time,
Going on a scavenger hunt looking for things
They wont recognize once they are found?
And then disagreeing on the significance.
It makes no sense playing show and tell...
With anyone who does not comprehend,
The art of sharing or communicating what that means!
What's the point of becoming disjointed?
And putting puzzled pieces together,
Is not my forté anway!

Christmas Tear
a christmas visitor came to see me today
and he had so much to say
strange as you may think it to be
he sat and talked with me.
he told me that his heart was down.
there was no kindness to be found.
people running to and fro
and yet! no wheres to go.
humanity has lost the values of life
and put dollar signs on the front of everything you see.
everyone searching for monetary gains
and their lives will never be the same.
what has happened to family joining to decorate the tree?
sitting down at dinnertime and talking about hopes and dreams and fantasies.-none of this do i see
kindness and sharing is the key
to save all of humanity.
children used to play with one another
not caring about ones color.
elders used to help each other
and call one another sister and brother.
now all i see is hypocrisy and everyone satisfying
their own needs.
putting me in your hearts just once a year
will not give you salvation.
it is with the sharing and caring of one another
that will set you free.
so that in my kingdom you will be with me.
for i have made all that you have
and all that you see.
this is the creation which i have given to thee.
open your hearts before it's too late
for saint peter will not meet you at the gate.
these were the words given to me on christmas day
and with tears in his eyes he went away.

Sharing Christmas
I'm waking up early this morning,
I can't wait to see our christmas tree,
There's a big blanket of snow,
Covering each and every home.

We're basting the turkey,
And hanging mistletoe,
We're laughing with loved-ones,
Decorations in the window.
It's such a wonderful time Sharing Christmas,
It is such a lovely, loving time sharing christmas.
It's such a wonderful time Sharing Christmas,
It is such a lovely, loving time sharing christmas. oohh.

It is such a lovely, loving time sharing christmas. oohh.
Street corners filled with cheers,
It's that time of the year, for giving.
The stars are shining bright,
Cause it's christmas time..oohhh..

I Love You....promise
deep in slumber there lies
a dream that urges me
to wake
a ghetto, of my soul
upholds the emptiness
of sharing of what i am
in your midst
loving you is a call, to
be fulfilled, a fuel to
to be burned, like an incense
to fume the inner self
of what is mint
of sharing, of giving what
i have, leaving all,
what it takes
i love you.. it. is not because
i love you...it is because
of that promise
to live with you till, we
meet again.

Flying Without Wings
Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you find that special thing
You're flying without wings
Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
You find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all you life
And when you know how much that means
When you find that special thing
You're flying without wings
So impossible as it may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
'Cause who's to know
Which one you let go
Would have made you complete
Well for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
'Cause you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings
And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings

What A Day
She shines from afar, like boys are with their cars. Her intention was never for me to fall in love, but to have an innocent conversation. My intention was never for her to feel warm-affection, but to have an innocent conversation.
But as she flashed her smile, and I teased her mind we engaged in it twice, didn’t even realize how much alike we are. I touched her heart, she made smile, and we ran each other extremely wild.
And as we said our goodbyes, smiled for awhile, will I see you again was on our minds. As we exchanged numbers she ran into my arms held me all at once, squeezed the air out of my lungs, WHAT A DAY IT WAS! ...
When we said our goodbyes for the second time, I came to realize, I Know Not Her Name and She Knows Mine…
…OH WHAT A DAY IT WAS…

I Came To Deliver Your Dreams
I came to you.
Believing I was needed.
Believing I assisted,
With the sharing of your happiness.
I came to you.
But from your point of view,
I was in need of charity.
And you sacrificed your donations to please.
Either way,
We spent little time communicating our minds.
With more of it invested in foolish misunderstandings.
Without accepting the giving intended,
In the sharing of blessed gifts to offer.
And the basic caring to fulfill our needs.
Either way,
We allowed appearances to get in our way.
And on the day we met,
I was not thinking of being impressive.
I came to deliver your dreams.
With not a thought premeditated,
For profound commentary.

Beautiful Life, Beautiful!
Beautiful is life, beautiful,
So beautiful it will be,
With beloved share smile and laugh
When the one share his own,
Seeing and feeling not alone,
Not only sharing sorrow and happiness,
Everything they feel and think,
But also sharing everything they eat and drink!
Sharing the same cloth,
Sharing all weight and burden,
Sharing the same umbrella,
In hot Sun and rain!
Sharing the weight of bag and luggage,
Smiling together like kids of tender age!
Beautiful is life, beautiful,
When both stay together,
Lay together on Same cot,
Drink from same pot,
same room if they share,
Same eyes to look at things,
Same ears to listen to music,
Same taste in all and Everything,
Beautiful life, beautiful,
How beautiful mind is,
When heart sees
sweet heart,
we feel our beloved share
Everything with,
pain and sorrow,
But not the pain of heart,
as we are so feeble that,
we can't share his grief and sorrow
One day we will be with him and share his burden with ever lasting smile!
Beautiful life, beautiful will be,
Beautiful days will be
when I grow up to share his pain!

It is above all the valorizing of the present that requires emphasizing. The simple fact of existing, of living in time, can comprise a religious dimension. This dimension is not always obvious, since sacrality is in a sense camouflaged in the immediate, in the "natural" and the everyday. The joy of life discovered by the Greeks is not a profane type of enjoyment: it reveals the bliss of existing, of sharing — even fugitively — in the spontaneity of life and the majesty of the world. Like so many others before and after them, the Greeks learned that the surest way to escape from time is to exploit the wealth, at first sight impossible to suspect, of the lived instant.

The New World
The gift and the curse
With this I'm spreading all my messages to the world.
One then the next
Another new pretext.
A systematic absorption through what I read.
Ideas all my own
A conversation with whole world at the same time.
Intriguing this must be to great minds
Imagine Edgar Allan Poe was living today
What would he write about?
Who would he talk too?
Would it be you?
Would it me?
Are you starting to see?
The great minds of the time stand before you.
People all over the world sharing in intellect.
Conversation with people twenty messages long.
This is the new world of the great poets, writers, and authors all rolled into one.

Another
I wish I'd never met you,
you've broken my heart.
We're so close yet still so far apart.
You tell me you love me,
yet you can't take my love because you've chosen a path of another sweet dove.
It tears me apart to think of you two sweet birds,
sharing the passion we once had it hurts.
I hate you for choosing that path to go,
but I'll always love you for you it's impossible not too.
So if you change your mind I'll still be here,
the thought of life without you fills me with fear.
So take your sweet time and enjoy yourself.
Just know that life without you is complete and utter hell.

Hallowed Ground
Everybodys intent on killing someone
The streets are closed and theres a kid on the run
The bullets scream out from gun to gun
Everybodys intent on being someone
The cold and darkness of a criminal dawn
Wrapped in blankets gotta keep ourselves warm
A child in the arms of a teenage mum
Who will be there, who will be the next victim
Of the criminal dawn?
Old friends meet on the edge of town
Sharing conversation, hoping things will soon get better
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
Not knowing whats around the corner
Are we living for an uncertain future?
Down on the corner sits a broken man
Lives by the bottle, swears never again
Lost his money on the dogs and gin
Now he looks for his supper in a garbage can
The kids hang around by the old schoolground
Right by the river where the body was found
Throwing stones on hallowed ground
Who will be there, who will be the next victim
Of the criminal dawn?
Old friends meet on the edge of town
Sharing conversation, hoping things will soon get better
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
Not knowing whats around the corner
Are we living for an uncertain future?
In the cold and darkness of a criminal dawn
Wrapped in blankets gotta keep ourselves warm
A child in the arms of a teenage mum
Who will be there, who will be the last victim
Of the criminal dawn?
Old friends meet on the edge of town
Sharing conversation, hoping things will soon get better
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
Not knowing whats around the corner
Are we living for an uncertain future?

Dreams, Dreams, Dreams
Most children want to copy adults fast;
They try to dress and talk and walk like one;
They want to do the things what adults do;
But children can’t be adults before time!
Adults dream of their childhood years at times;
They cannot move or speak or walk child-like;
They cannot be innocent like children;
They can’t become children again in life.
The elderly have dreams of their own too;
Oh, how they wish they were younger in age!
They recollect the things they did when young;
Their frames and minds are weaker than they think!
All human beings live in dreams galore;
Most dreams cannot become reality;
Our dreams must be something we can well do;
Too much of dreams don’t help to dash ahead.
Each stage of life can be lived only once;
One cannot go back or ahead in time;
Be happy with whatever you’ve achieved;
Life is so wonderful they way it is!
Just keep your mind and heart as per your age;
Be aware of the limits, risks, you take;
Life shouldn’t be lost even through accidents;
Life is the greatest gift of God to you!
Thank God for whatever you are in life;
Thank Him for gift of human life and soul;
Thank Him for all the things, He’d done for you;
Thank Him for all His love and kindness shown!

Lay All Your Love On Me
(b. andersson / b. ulvaeus)
Laa...
I wasnt jealous before we met,
Now every woman I see is a potential threat.
And Im possessive, it isnt nice.
Youve heard me saying that smoking was my only vice.
But now it isnt true,
Now everything is new,
And all Ive learned has overturned.
I beg of you...
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
(dont go sharing your devotion)
It was like shooting a sitting duck.
A little smalltalk, a smile, and baby I was stuck.
I still dont know what youve done with me;
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily.
I feel a kind of fear,
When I dont have you near.
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride,
I beg you dear...
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Ive had a few little love affairs.
They didnt last very long and theyve been pretty scarce.
I used to think I was sensible,
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible.
cause everything is new,
And everything is you,
And all Ive learned has overturned.
What can I do?
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me. (dont go)
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion...

One Of A Kind
There we were two lonely souls
Existing from day to day
Feeling love would never
Come our way
Watching lovers share their bliss
Sadly wishing only if
Believing that we had to live
Life like this
But like a bolt of lightning
As when two stormy clouds collide
We made a joyful happening
To our lives
Now were happy as can be
Me loving you and you loving me
Two hearts intertwined
Wich makes us one of a kind
Feeling the charge of a love evermore
Knowing that love is enough to live for
It feels so fine
Sharing love one of a kind
One of a kind now baby
Your love and mine
One of a kind, sweet darling
The only way love is meant to be
United love so fine
Living in love one of a kind
It feels nothing but fine
Sharing our love one of a kind
If we had a second chance
At living a second time
Wed change everything but our love
In our lives
cause like a big disaster
Lost in a never-ending night
We light a light of magic
Made everything right
Now were happy as can be
Me loving you and you loving me
Two hearts intertwined
Wich makes us one of a kind
Feeling the charge of a love evermore
Knowing that love is enough to live for
It feels so fine
Sharing love one of a kind
One of a kind, now baby
Your love and mine, such ecstasy
One of a kind, sweet darling
The only way love is meant to be

It Just Has To Be This Way (feat. Vince Gill)
The sound of your voice, the touch of your skin
If we go there, it will start all over again
So don't even call, there's no need for checking in
If it's really over, let it just be over
No, we won't be sharing coffee
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask me about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
We gave all we could, we fought the good fight
But no matter how we loved, we just couldn't get it right
It hurts to let go, but it's harder hangin' on
I don't want it to be over, we know that it's over
No, we won't be sharing coffe
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask me about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
And even if I change my mind
Don't let me hurt me one more time
Stay away from me, be as cold as you can be
No, we won't be sharing coffe
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask me about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
Oh, it just has to be this way
