Failures Are Temporary
failures are temporary
heartbreaks can even be short
if you care enough
for love
of yourself and your friends
we all fall
and we shall all fall again
despite two waking vigilant eyes
and cautioned hands
and so is happiness and success and triumphs
and conquests of your fears
the ecstasies
and joys and what have you that makes you
feel
eternity, tell me when have you learned
this illusion
of yourself feeling eternity, a glimpse
of God, tell me, tell me, describe it to me
today, i can tell you the difference
between all these temporary things, and places and events,
and this eternity that i feel,
it is you, your face that i see that i touch
is this the face of God?

Now And Eternity
i have to content myself
with temporary reliefs thinking that it gives me
an extension of time
a pinch of this salt
a crumb of pearl
a grain of sugar
to walk with life and not stop
as it goes on alone with its journey even without me,
i shut the window of eternity
and please myself with what is so temporary in my room
on my pillow that rests my head
in sweeter sleep
there are fewer tears shed rather than the anxieties that go
with living beyond what i still clasp within my hands
my fingers still fidgety
over what is next
i know what is there beyond me but you cannot blame me
for settling for less
because it is too far yet and here i am
still bouncing with the pinkness of my age,
the reddish cheek that i still have
on my face
the wild thoughts that like horses in the pastures of my mind
in short if eternity is true
and the sacrifice is too much
i guess i have to take it later
and for the meantime settle with the
whiteness of this chicken egg
at the center of the scarlet
table
waiting for my hungry mouth
to eat
there is a time for everything
do not blame me for grabbing what is now
this relevance
and touchable
hardness
this is the moment that may take me there
who knows?

I Must Confess
Today I confess to you
one of my biggest fears
That you don’t feel the same as I do.
Today I confess to you
one of my greatest joys
For this feeling gives me great happiness.
Today I confess to you
my grandest accomplishment
To be able to have this feeling.
Today I must confess to you
That seeing you
Makes me feel complete.
Today I must confess to you
That your touch
Heals all my pain.
Today I must confess to you
what I feel is painful
And it makes it more grand.
Today I must confess to you
That no one shares
What my heart feels for you.
Today I must confess to you
My deepest feeling,
I love you!

Temporary Secretary
Mister Marks Can You Find For Me
Someone Strong And Sweet Fitting On My Knee
She Can Keep Her Job If She Gets It Wrong

And A Temporary Secretary Is What I Need For To Do The Job

And Will Rarely Keep Her 'Til Late At Night

PLEASE! Don't Call It Love
This isn't love
Please don't call it love
What I feel for you is more
So much more than love
So please, don't call it love
I would call it life
Yeah thats what you call it. Life
Cause what I feel makes me want to live
So don't call it love
You can call it life
What I feel for you isn't love
Love doesn't feel like this
So don't tell me you love me
I'd rather hear; I'll live for you
Yeah, that sounds better
What I feel for you
I would say inspiration
Thats more like it
You inspire me
So you can even call it inspiration
Its not love
Absotively, posilutely not love
Love doesn't feel as good
Tell me; I'll inspire you
Don't say you love me
A better word for it would be eternity
What I feel for you is eternity
I would call it eternity because
I'll spend eternity with you
Eternity sounds so much better than love
The emotion I feel for you
Is not love
Its life, its inspiration, its eternity
Love? Nope, not love
Call it anything else but love

Baby It Cant Fall
Pop/bowie
You have loved me with energy
Backed up with hard work and guts
We inhabit eternity
We fly forever in space
The way we run together
The way we breeze the miles
We put our heads together
And laughingly we smile
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby, it cant fall
Death means nothing at all
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby, it cant fall
Our love will outlive this earth
Words have so many meanings
Sometimes mean nothing at all
Sometimes I feel so simple
I dont know whats coming next
We have swum in the ocean
And that was really alright
Im not a big man
Its hard to face the world
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby, it cant fall
That would nail me to the wall
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby it cant fall
Our love will outlive this earth
It cant fall

Love Lipstick
Love is desolate
Romance is temporary
Affection is everything
Heartbreaks are perpetual
Soothing the extraordinary pain you’d embrace
If for a split second you could escape
Such heartbreak and just live on
As if nothing ever happened,
Would you take the chance?
If you could go back in time
And rewrite history before things fell apart,
Would you do it?
Will you ever realize
That none of this can ever happen to you?
Love is temporary
Romance is desolate
Still.
Affection is everything.
I don’t love you
Or feel romance
I would still die for you
Just because
I feel that way when I’m with you
Love Lipstick.

Never Leave Your Side
I know youre feeling down
Because she broke your heart
Dont think that its the end you just gotta try and start
Over with someone
Someone whos gonna care
Care about the way you feel when no one else is there
But you gotta be patient because
Love takes some time
And you always gotta be on guard cuz true love is so hard to find
Never know who or where how or why
When the woman youve been waiting for is right before your eyes
Chorus
Whenever youre lonely
You can call on me
Cuz I promise to be there until eternity
If the mountains may fall
And the sun refused to shine
Ill be with you through it all
Whenever you hold me
I get a rush inside
You could tell by my touch that I just cant hide
They way I feel about you just feels so right
Baby I will never leave
2nd verse
So open up your eyes
And let your mind free
What youve been searching for is all disguised in me
So dont you be afraid
Cuz I wont let you down
Sweet love and honesty in you I finally found
Ill be your fantasy
Ill be your dreams at night
Dont ever have a doubt cuz the feelings oh so right
To have you here with me feels like youre heaven sent
And since youve been with me Ive been in love ever since
Chorus
Whenever youre lonely
You can call on me
Cuz I promise to be there until eternity
If the mountains may fall
And the sun refused to shine
Ill be with you through it all
Whenever you hold me
I get a rush inside
You could tell by my touch that I just cant hide
They way I feel about you just feels so right
Baby I will never leave your side
Baby...baby...baby...Ill be with you through it all...baby...baby...baby...
Baby I will never leave your side

A Poem Like A Touch
The movement of your life
Was stuck in its death corner
''I love you', your eyes whispered.
You gave me your last thought
And all your seconds
Is this love or not?
I saw that the eternity had a painful face.
Now, I look in the mirror
And I can't remember
If it was the eternity's face or it was mine
In stopping any communication
Between us.
I'm still in your death corner
And in the memory of you
I still keep all your thoughts
Not to dissapear.
Those thoughts becoming suddenly so static.
The seconds of your missing
Are killing me so slowly.
This static love
Is digging deep dips
In your absence
To kill me so slowly
I kiss your memory.
I still feel our entwining
As I feel an extension of a missing arm.
Is this love or not?
Maybe it's only poetry
Instead of any touch,
A poem like a touch...
I kiss your soul with my poems.

My soul is guilty of love
My soul is guilty of love,
That love devastating my life
To create a new better one.
My love tastes my flesh,
That painful part of me
Continuously and little by little
Dieing.
I still feel this need for temporary things,
But love will never be a thing.
It will never be temporary.
I still try to reconcile
My individual part of world
With my Christian faith.
I still live between
Primitive and humble animals,
Trying to understand my solitude,
Trying to save my unfulfilled desires,
Thinking that
The whole past human glory
Is enough for me.
I try to understand
Its delicate dazzling dream
Of reaching the eternity in ephemeral.
I'm overwhelmed with
Its fossil coral thought and its wet reality.

Happiness?
Afar I found my happiness,
a place where I could be my best.
Far away from what caused my distress,
I finally conquered my life-long quest.
The quest to find pure happiness,
that was the quest that I've been blessed.
But what you ask is pure happiness? ..
Honestly, I'm not really sure..
just take a guess.
Being happy as what I see,
is something we always want to be.
But how you ask can we always be,
very happy for eternity?
In our days, this happiness,
it's something we just risk to mess.
But happiness where can we find?
I want to know.. what's on your mind?
We got all the needs but more of the wants,
sometimes we even want more pairs of pants.
Like all other things,
I think this happiness is just temporary.
All these things I've been saying,
honestly, I feel it's very contrary.
I guess this quest that I've been blessed,
hasn't really been conquered just yet..
'cause I feel a bit haggard about this quest,
I think for a while I need to take a rest.
So, all of you who also got this quest,
come, please help me, I'm in such a big mess.
Come on,
just tell me..
is it east or west..
where did you find this so called
'happiness'?

Some Places
Some places you can fall in love with,
their scenery attract you,
the quiet and peacefulness of it all.
You feel so at home there,
some place where you could live
for eternity not matter
whether the sun shone or it rained.
You feel alive just being there
no matter what troubles come.
It makes you feel that you belong
and you never want to leave,
that this place is where
you want to call your home.

getting over a failure (for Liza)
be attuned, there is no such
thing as a permanent failure,
there are only preludes
success even is temporary
how much for failures?
do not diminish yourself
failures are merely suspended
successes, be patient for
it is just but a matter of time
failures are but temporary guests
the uninvited ones whom you
can even dismiss at any time
but don't be too harsh upon
failures and upon yourself
like everyone else that you meet
give them time to speak and
be with you, they also have something
to say, though not nice, but there
is also so much to learn from them.
that ugly guy over there, welcome
him inside your house, serve him
tea and company, he has something
more important to say, than that
handsome man over there, who like
a magician, gives you only illusions.
sometimes what is more real
let me say this once, is failure.

When I Think About You
When I wake up in the morning time and see the sun I say
Hallelujah, thank you Jesus for waking me up today
I think about his goodness and the wonderful things he's done;
Forgiving me, setting me free and casting my sins away
And soon as I was about to fall you stepped right in on time
Picked me up, and let me know you had nothing but love for me
And those lonely nights when I thought that I gonna lose my mind (my mind)
Lord, You were my company
And now I feel joy (when I think about you)
I feel strength (when I think about you)
No pain (when I think about you)
And no rain (when I think about you)
I get glad (when I think about you)
And raise my hands (when I think about you)
Shout your name (when I think about you)
(When I think about you)
And in the midst of the storm you were the shelter in my life
Even though (I was doing wrong) and even though (I fell off)
No-one can help me out, the way you helped me whenever I was in need
When trouble was chasing, I was weak (mmm) you kept your hands on me
My God you sacrifised you life that I might live for eternity
Despite my faults, you heard my cry (yes you did) and forgave my inequity
No-one can understand, the way you understand when it comes to my heart
Lord you gave me a brand new start
And now I feel joy (when I think about you)
Feel strength (when I think about you)
There is no pain (when I think about you)
No rain (when I think about you)
I get glad (when I think about you)
Raise my hands (when I think about you)
And shout your name (when I think about you) Oh Lord
(When I think about you)
Listen
Even though your doubts will come (doubts will come)
Believe he gave his only son (all of the world) to all the world
He chose to love (oh, yes he did) so how can we not (how can we not) send our praises up
I feel joy (when I think about you)
Feel strength, yeah (when I think about you)
There's no rain (when I think about you)
No more pain (when I think about you)
I get glad, ohh (when I think about you)
Then I raise my hands (when I think about you)
Shout your name (when I think about you) oh I
(When I think about you)
I feel joy (when I think about you)
And peace (when I think about you)
Feel your presence (when I think about you)
Coming over me (when I think about you)
Then I start to fall, yeah (when I think about you)
Down to my knees (when I think about you)
And begin to pray (when I think about you) Lord help me
(When I think about you)
Then I see the light (when I think about you)
Startin' to shine right through (when I think about you)
It's a brand new day (when I think about you)
And my heart's renewed (when I think about you)
And all my fears are gone (when I think about you)
Away (when I think about you)
When my day looks cloudy (when I think about you)
It's gonna be okay (When I think about you)
Yeah-ohh-no (when I think about you)
(When I think about you)
How you gave me love (gave me love) (when I think about you)
And I gave you nothing (gave you nothing) (when I think about you)
How you woke me up (hey!) (when I think about you)
And started me on my way (started me on my way) (when I think about you)
See you did not have to do it (when I think about you)
But you did it any old way (when I think about you)
Any old, any old, any old way (when I think about you)
Yes you did, yes you did (when I think about you)
Yes you did, yes you did (when I think about you)
Yes you did, (when I think about you)
Hey-hey-hey-hey (when I think about you)
Hey-hey-hey-hey (when I think about you)
Hey-hey-hey-hey (when I think about you)
Hey-hey-hey whoo
Oh yes (uh) (when I think about you)
(When I think about you)

See Sassy
See sassy wake up shes ? ? ? ? ?
Thinks/things you tell by the ring on her finger
Cant you tell by her fifty dollar shoes
That shes confusing love with the people she uses
But dont worry about nothing, nothing at all
Its just a temporary conscience?
Even springs? got to fall
See sassy shes a little girl
She looks so ? ? ? she looks so weak?
Papa says that shes too cute for words
So sassy never learned how to scream
But dont worry bout nothing, doll, nothin at all
Its just a temporary conscience
And even springs(? ) got the fall
Hush you baby dont you cry
Papas gonna feed you some good advice
Hush you baby dont miss this(? )
Papas gonna buy you a pretty dress
As though that could mend your heart
As though it could keep you from being torn apart
As though it were your destiny
To face every man you meet
On your knees
See sassy wake up on the other side
Stares at a/her wedding dress and starts to cry
Shes got big eyes but they dont see too clear
Otherwise she never would have ended up here
But dont worry about nothing doll nothing at all
Its just a temporary conscience
And even saints/streets/straights got to fall.
Yeah yeah
See sassy wake up shes a lover?
See sassy wake up shes alone?
See sassy wake up shes alone

Permanent Reminder Of A Temporary Feeling
By: jimmy buffett
She was no marine back from the philippines
She was their pride and joy, their incarnation
Her parents viewed the chief with shock and disbelief
Looking for some other explanation
The indian on her back was poised for an attack
She said a tatoo is a badge of validation
But the truth of the matter is far more revealing
Its a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Permanent reminder
Of a temporary feeling
Amnesiac episodes that never go away
Its no complex momemto its not set of revealing
Just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Vegas in the rain
Drunk on cheap champagne
He hears out of tune synthesized chapel bells painfully ringing
Wheres his limo ride
Whos this foreign bride
Is that really elvis spinning around the ceiling
Permanent reminder
Of a temporary feeling
Forgotten fabrications in the chapels of love
Whats this ring on his finger
Why is he kneeling
Shes just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Chromosomes and genes
Spawn these fateful scenes
Evolution can be mean
Theres no dumbass vaccine
Blame your dna
Youre a victim of your fate
Its human nature to miscalculate
To make up for the fight
They go out for the night
Sex drugs and rock n roll seem like the easiest answer
But a short nine months later
Theres no way of concealing
That permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Permanent reminder
Of a temporary feeling
Amnesiac episodes that never go away
Complex momentos not subtle revealings
Just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

Rainbow Across My Heart
I feel like talking
Telling everyone about you
About the love we have both found
And the rainbow across my heart
That is there for all eternity
I feel like walking
Under the bright moonlight
Feeling the warmth
Of your body close to mine
And the rainbow across my heart
There until the end of time
I feel like listening to the music
That fills the air all around me
Now that love has captured me
Leaving that rainbow across my heart
There for all eternity

What If We Fall In Love
(myles goodwyn)
Published by northern goody two tunes, ltd./capac - ascap
All in love is fair
Young and free, so easy to care, without pain
We can laugh and we can cry
We can have it all without askin why, without chains
But there comes a time when you feel so unsure, girl
But that could be more
What if we fall in love (tonight)
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love, ooh
When Im feelin all alone
Those times when love turns out all wrong, youll be there
And when you needed me you knew, we were friends
And friends will always come through, cause they care
And in our hearts, and in our own ways
We are the same, we both were afraid
What if we fall in love (tonight)
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love
But there comes a time when you feel so unsure, yeah
That could be more
What if we fall in love (tonight)
Love is easier for some
In and out, they love on the run, without care
Should they break a heart or two
Its just a game, so easy to do, so unfair
But there comes a time when you feel so unsure, girl
But that could be more
What if we fall in love (tonight)
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love

Date Stamp
This hearts up for sale
Yeah, this hearts on the stand
Mix and match and melt in my mouth
Nothing ever goes quite as planned
You fly north and Ill sail south
So redevelop product
Redesign this package
Still refuse to reach in your pocket
Everything is temporary written on that sand
Looking for the girl that meets supply with demand
_ chorus:
Love has no guarantee
(yes Im date stamped)
Promise me eternity
(guess Ill fade away)
Even with a pedigree
(yes Im date stamped)
Love has no guarantee
That hearts on display, yes, that hearts off the rails
A ship in the harbour with wind in its sails
Chain up love inside the chain-store girl
Chain up love and exchange it
Is monsieur a connoisseur or just short-changed?
Off the rack or custom-fit it all seems the same
Look but dont touch in paradise
Dont let them catch you damaging the merchandise
_ to chorus
I get sales talk from sales assistants
When all I want to do girl, is lower your resistance
Everything is temporary, written in the sand
Looking for the girl that meets supply with demand
Love has no guarantee
Brings out the woman in me
Even with a pedigree
Love has no guarantee
No chance of subtlety
No promise of eternity
Even with a pedigree
Love has no guarantee

Only You
Waiting for you again, seems like this never ends
I close my eyes and I see your face, and I see it all fading away
Woke up before you again, youre still asleep I cant pretend
I feel like Im losing you, and I am trying to make everything right
Chorus:
Only you, only me, say the words I want to hear for all eternity
Only you, holding my heart in your hands
Only me, still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh
If I could have a second chance, maybe change the circumstance
Imagine if the dream came true, we could start it all over tonight
Chorus repeats 2x
Only me, say the words I want to hear for all eternity
Only you, holding my heart in your hands
Only me, still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh

Longer than Eternity
I just want the light a little longer
I want to hold your face in my hands
So I could allow my desires to grow stronger
And be ready when the moon in your eyes lands!
‘A little longer’ I always wish it to be
To see through before I read it all
From that point I would never ever be free
From the steepest plunge to the endless fall!
But it’s never greed that consumes me
Rather a craving to slow the pace
To remain frozen longer than eternity
Holding in my hands your face!
