Dead For Quite A Long Time....
breathless is the reason,
it is just this euphemism about having to lose breath
and you may think
it's a way simply out of the ball game
or a movie
like breathless (i.e. sleepless) in Seattle
but really, really
it is not the case of being breathless because you are overjoyed
or has exerted much effort
for joy
or bliss
it is not the case, it is not
it is something else that you cannot figure out
because you are still
too preoccupied with breathing and all
its condiments of air
and space
there will be a time when you see someone you
love in an infirmary
or at bay
and you confess your love and you say
all my life love has always been another and another stranger
without a name, and touch-less and you say
it is breathtaking but
there is never a hand or a pair of warm red lips
breathless because you have been dead for long
and you refuse to acknowledge it

Breathless
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!!
My control
That's what you take from me
Damned my soul
And you won't let me be
Stop me in my tracks, there's no looking back
I can't see (no)
It's much too late
I feel great
You take my breath away
You leave me breathless
You got me helpless
You take my breath away
You leave me breathless
You got me helpless
You take my breath away
Inside-out, that's how she turns my head
All my doubts are never put to bed
She's got me runnin' blind, never think I'll find sanity (oh)
Hyperventilate, nothing's a in her place
She takes my breath away
And leaves me breathless
Yes I'm so helpless
She takes my breath away
You leave me breathless
I'm so helpless
You take my breath away
You take me if I breath
And never let me know
You cast a spell on me, and you don't let me go go go go go
You leave me breathless
You got me helpless
You take my breath away
You leave me breathless
I'm so helpless
You take my breath away
You leave me breathless (oh, oh)
You leave me breathless
I'm breathless, breathless
You leave me breathless
Leave me breathless!

You Take My Breath Away
You take my breath away.
You make me want to stay
breathless.
For feeling like I do
just from the sight of you
has always made me feel
breathless.
When you're not around
it's then that I have found
that nothing seems to be
good enough for me.
For I'm missing the sweet part
that's deep within my heart
that keeps each breath I take
in a constant search for thee.
You take my breath away.
You make me want to stay
breathless.
And feeling like I do
just from the sight of you
will always make me feel
breathless.

Breathless
Never knew love before
Never dreamed there could be something more
Felt my heart overflow
With the danger of needing you so
Its a mystery I cant explain
But I shiver when I hear your name
Chorus:
You are the fire
Every desire
Breathless we fall in love
Love is the answer
We are the dancers
Breathless we fall in love
We fall in love
Youve crept into my soul
And Im ready to lose all control
Let our hearts fill with light
Every moment you make is so right
Its a mystery I cant explain
But I shiver when I hear your name
Chorus:
No need to worry
No need to hurry
Breathless we fall in love
Love is the answer
We are the dancers
Breathless we fall in love
We fall in love
Its a mystery to me I cant explain
But I shiver when I hear your name

The Way You Look Tonight
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Lovely don't you ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'cause I love you ... just the way you look tonight.
Lovely don't you ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
cause I love you ... just the way you look tonight.
Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Just the way you look to-night.

Softer The Touch
So beauty's only skin deep baby
But when you touch me
I don't care
All I know when you're in deep baby
I just want to keep you there
I can't control
My needing
You're all I hoped you'd be
I'm breathless
From this feeling
This need's controlling me
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
Oh yeah
Um
Ooh
And everytime I feel I'm waning
I couldn't stop to lose my head
Just one touch
And it's soon beginning
You make a temple of my bed
I can't control
My needing
You're all I hoped you'd be
I'm breathless
From this feeling
This need's controlling me
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
Is it love

The Life After Ending Love
Who has said that there is a life after ending love
Who has said that i ever could live after the day that you've gone
Your love has took with it every thing that one day was only mine
You laugh, your smile, those alluring eyes
All those were my life, took away my life
Everything that i had disappeared at once
Breathless you've leaved this poor heart of mine
Once upon the time we were lovers and you were only mine
After the day that you've gone i couldn't live even i couldn't die
Who has said that the life stays the same after ending love
Breathless still this poor heart of mine
The memories are there after ending love
Hurting my heart and i'm dieing every single day
more then thousands times
Still can't imagine that some one else
are holding your arms
Broken my heart you leaved, still crying your pain.

You
The sound of your tears as they hit the floor,
The love you bleed through your soul is where I belong,
Will I lose you like you have lost your heart that I seek?
Disappear from your blood before I flow in it?
Leave you breathless when you are-breathless?
I fall before you; begging your broken heart to beat,
Should I make this world disappear so that you may notice me?
You are the rising tides of my blood,
The heart within my heart,
The mind within my soul-
The image I call mine,
The being I was born to love.

Love is.....
Love is... a fragrance of roses,
Love is...a star in your arm,
Love is...a voice of a violin
It gives your life such a charm.
Love is... a diamond
Which do not need any polish,
Love is... a dream
Which you can't refuse,
Love is... a feeling
That makes you breathless, ageless
And it is always everyones muse.
Love is... sometimes jealous,
Sometimes voiceless or mute,
But in all cases it's happiness
Which is dressed in its best suit.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
a squirrel runs across
frosty evening on a plain
of white carrying a cosy
warmth i would love to have
light greyish coat impeecably
patched and stitched for the season
time runs across space
mindless as a clock which
has forgotten to crawl
everywhere the trees
gently whisper sweet nothings
and cavort away the evening
baring skeletons and bones (or heart and soul)
to the heavens to swear their love
snow falls like mannas
onto a million stretched hands
that grovel to receive every
trace of divine providence
breathless, breathless
the white glides and bounces
in an evening that holds onto
everything like forgotten time

Something About You
Yeah youve been so close, oh baby
In my world always gone with someeone
Seeing you on your own
Lts like some light, so bright is turning on
See you standing there oh baby
Feel a change in the air
Everywhere
Why didnt I know
That youre the one that Ive been waiting for
Yeah, theres something about you
That I never knew
Why didnt I see your smile before
Yeah, theres something about you
Thats ieaving me breathless
Leading me on
You can see, I can tell oh baby
Youve got some power over me
Use it well
Dont know why Im so sure
That youre the love that Ive been longing for
Yeah, theres something about you
That I never knew
Why didnt I see your smile before
Yeah, theres something about you
Thats leaving me breathless
Turning me on
Only matters what I feel right now
No matter what Ive felt before
Im turning to you right now
Im breathless baby, thats all I need to know
Yeah, theres something about you
Something about you

Breathless Moments
could love fathom
all little insignificances
that litter my day
like the lilies on a pond
breathing, continually breathing for dear life
each hungry for the kiss of the beast
or the dominion of a feast of birds
that hover in the sky for a destiny
as I pluck a flower in midstream
waiting for you my love to come
promising to love you till the end
in my breathless moments, echoing my pleas
to be with you, at the crossroad of my dreams
when love comes softly to my waiting arms
waiting for the sunset..waiting for the sunset
don't let go of me, my heart, our dreams
your every heartbeat, is a song in my heart
your every breath, a joy, my whole life
your eyes, my guide, my light..
let's kiss and seal our love..forever...

The First Moment
A door opens in the center of our being and we seem to fall through it into immense depths which, although they are infinite, are all accessible to us; all eternity seems to have become ours in this one placid and breathless contact.
Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation
The approach is clear;
light of day,
bright sky
beyond my
silken shroud,
the door is open,
but I am afraid.
Should I pass through,
perhaps descend to
endless depths?
I listen,
I hear you calling me
calling me;
come home.
so, breathless,
trembling with life,
I begin.

Sonnet XXVII: Heart's Compass
Sometimes thou seem'st not as thyself alone,
But as the meaning of all things that are;
A breathless wonder, shadowing forth afar
Some heavenly solstice hushed and halcyon;
Whose unstirred lips are music's visible tone;
Whose eyes the sun-gate of the soul unbar,
Being of its furthest fires oracular;—
The evident heart of all life sown and mown.
Even such Love is; and is not thy name Love?
Yea, by thy hand the Love-god rends apart
All gathering clouds of Night's ambiguous art;
Flings them far down, and sets thine eyes above;
And simply, as some gage of flower or glove,
Stakes with a smile the world against thy heart.

Fool In The Rain
(jones/page/plant)
Well theres a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that cant wait for the night
I hate to think Ive been blinded baby
Why cant I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And Im shaking so much, really yearning
Why dont you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, its all right.
And if you promised youd love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby:
What ever happened to you?
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It aint the first time believe me, baby
Im standin here feeling blue
Yeah Im blue
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
Ill watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then Im turning around
The clock on the walls moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found
Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
Ive got no reason to doubt you baby,
Its all a terrible mess
Ill run in the rain till Im breathless
When Im breathless Ill run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fools kind of careless
Im just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found...

Just Kiss Me Again
Please kiss me again,
Your lips are soft,
Like angel wings,
But when you leave me I die,
Pull me close to you again,
And kiss me softly,
With your passionate lips,
That left me breathless again,
My cheeks get hot,
And my heart seems to flutter,
When your lips meet mine,
I just seem to go under,
Just kiss me again,
If you love me you would,
Just kiss me and I will be fine,
I will never die, if you just kiss me again,
Embrace me,
I don't need you inside me,
Just to know you love me,
All I need to know that is when you kiss me,
Just kiss me pleas,
I love you,
Just kiss me,
I will never hurt,
I just need your lips on mine once again! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
A Walk Through My Village
Today sun waked up very early,
I took a walk in the village road;
I often start my dawn this muddy way,
With Coconut trees on each side,
that music, like moonlight
swept across my way
My ears preset on her;
My eyes fixed on her and smiled with heart;
of she is the creator of song, that she sang;
the tartar lines of the song touch my mind
the road is getting taper.
The whole Village cries from her blaze of words,
they wake in breathless stillness;
the Pretty Parrots and loving Fantail Pigeons,
hear her song in a classic way;
They didn’t want to fly from there;
Yes, she is alive in her song,
What the reason is, why?
In breathless stillness,
Oceans wake in her song,
and sedate streams;
rise up in waves;
now she is not there,
song that sang by her is still live.

You Loved Me Before You Meet Me
cover my scarlet lips with your kisses
i wanted to taste it like wine
i am breathless listening, savoring
you are my heartbeat
take me with you, we'll run away
to let lose, to be happy in love
you and me, against the world,
you and me, against my family
you have loved me before you meet me
you saw me dancing in the wind
laughing and singing
my eyes shine with so much love
filling the air with fragrance of my song
your warm embrace caught me by surprise
telling me i will be your wild flower in the dessert
your comfort in the scorching heat of the sun
promising to come back, and be your permanent bride
i love to sit beside you
your hands under my head caressing me
seeing my lovely face peacefully sleeping
ah, at last.. you wear my ring for eternity

On Your 48th.
And so to you my sweet, it comes
The point at which, three quarters gone
Life trickles through our fingers
Like the sand,
In some sad, damaged hour-glass,
That runs ahead of man.
Months pass in days, and weeks in hours,
And how we age – like flowers that wilt in time;
Though beauty lies, not in unblemished skin,
But deep inside;
And character and grace shine at our eyes.
We rarely speak of love, as once we did
With hot breath steaming at the window panes,
And where we, breathless, rode along
The rim of our content,
We now seek quiet comfort in green lanes.
I love you still, and more than you would know,
Love walks beside me on the golden sand,
It makes my heart beat faster
When you smile,
And leaps like lightning, when you touch my hand.
