Loving What You Do
it is the love
in what you do
that makes you love
even if what you
do rejects you
poetry for instance
you write with a suspicion
that someone out there
twists her lips
scratches his head
complaining that this is not the way how to do it
you may have known the devil
telling you to stop or jump or
just be one of them
in their devil-may-care attitude
you see no angel around
but your love of this work keeps you going
the passion to care
for words and arrange them to create
a picture
of your own beautiful world
a mirage of oasis for your hunger
an ice castle in your messy room
a theater where you are your own actor
and audience at the same time
who claps for you? just you
and they think you have gone out of your mind
but you are not
you feel the passion of sanity
and beauty
the urge to just be another scribbler
for nothing
this is it.
creativity, no one pushes you
no one pulls you
there is this spirit that keeps on telling
you
you are beautiful
you are divine
you are meant for something greater than yourself
you dream and that is enough reward
you do not make a name for this
beautiful ennui
sacred search
temple of the tongue
river of the mind
ivory thoughts
a fountain of feelings

Ignorance Is Beautiful
She taught me two things,
‘Ignorance and Beautiful.'
One day, she told me,
'Let me tell you,
The meaning of Beautiful.
God is beautiful,
Nature is beautiful,
Life is beautiful,
Love is beautiful,
Care is beautiful,
Share is beautiful,
Understanding is beautiful,
Trust is beautiful,
Faith is beautiful,
Passion is beautiful,
Compassion is beautiful,
Air is beautiful,
Water is beautiful,
Earth is beautiful,
Fire is beautiful,
Energy is beautiful,
Here is beautiful,
There is beautiful,
Everywhere is beautiful,
Everyone is beautiful,
Everything is beautiful.'
I had to intervene,
'Looks the universe is beautiful,
But what is most beautiful? '
The reply comes full and straight,
'Ignorance is awesomely beautiful.'

Beautiful
You could be the devil in my bed
You could be the angel in my head
You could be the voices that I hear
I'm singing along because it sounds just like you're near
Cause you're so beautiful
You're beautiful today
You're so beautiful
Beautiful in every little way
Cause when you're coming around
I'm off the ground
I've got to say
You're so beautiful
You're beautiful today
I could be the drug you can't resist
I could be the antidote you missed
I could be the love you hate to fear
You're filling the hole inside your heart with feeling near to me
Cause you're so beautiful
You're beautiful today
You're so beautiful
Beautiful in every little way
Cause when you're coming around
I'm off the ground
I've got to say
You're so beautiful
You're beautiful today
Can we make it through
Together we got to fly
Don't you know I got to fly
Cause when you're coming around I got to fly
Don't you know I want to fly
And I know
And I feel
That I could learn to hate just like you
And I know
And I feel
That you could learn to love just like me
Can we make it through together
I've got to fly

My love I love you
I can't see anyone like you my love
You love is brightening my life
I love the way you look at me,
I love the way you care
My love I love you
I love your beautiful blue eyes
I love your soft lips.
I love you
Oh how I love you!
I do love you.
Love is emotion
Love is gentle
Love is divine
I love you more than words can,

I love it when your lips touch mine.

Beautiful Music
Before I knew that I was blessed
When I was just like the rest of the people
Who never let dreams in their minds
Music would play and say
Maybe you're wastin' your time
Before I knew what good could be
When I couldn't see the need or the reason
For trusting in me or my star
Music would play and say
Hey, what a dummy you are!
And when I heard all the words about passion
Singin' to me about love of a fashion
That I never heard anywhere else
That's when I said,
"Gotta get some of that for myself"
And when I heard about hurtin' and healin'
Beautiful words about beautiful feelings
What lots of believin' could do
Beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true
You're beautiful
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Before I saw my life in lights
When I couldn't taste the nights I was missin'
I'd listen alone in my bed
And music would sing to me
Things no one else even said
And when I heard all the words about passion
Singin' to me about love of a fashion
That I never heard anywhere else
That's when I said,
"Gotta get some of that for myself"
And when I heard about hurtin' and healin'
Beautiful words about beautiful feelings
What lots of believin' could do
Beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true
You're beautiful
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful, Beautiful Music
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Music
Beautiful, Beautiful Music
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Music

Beautiful, Beautiful Music

Without You
I fell for a man I only met twice
who do I turn to for some advice maybe she would know
yes she would only if I could ask her
only if I could tell her
only if I could tell anyone
bout that fabulous night
How did this happen, happen to me
when I swore I wouldn't let him
get close to me
Love is mysterious for this is so true
I hoped it could be
but only it’s with you
but I know we can never be an us
we can be an us yes
yes we can
a secret us
I had a dream, a beautiful dream of you
I try so hard not to think of this dream and dread
not being in your arms
for yet another night
For it is too painful and won't escape out of my head
I try to stop this
try to get the powerful feeling out of my head
And now all I ever do is cry when I wake up
as I feel your lips touch mine and reenact that incredible night
in my dream
I can't stop thinking about you because you're always on my mind
You are like a precious gem exquisite and ever hard to find
I call and I call to talk to you which is all great but I want more
I really need to tell you that I am so deep in pain
with out your love
I really don't mean to burden you with my teenage feelings
What I need right now is your understanding and compassion
there’s something I really should be telling you
something I since is so very true
if only I could speak
only if I could say just one line
if only that line could be
“I love you”
but it seams you’ve taken
you’ve taken the breath out of my chest
It's been a while but I can picture your face
I search and I search to see you from place to place
not ever finding you but still looking everywhere
You are a good person and I sense it
Please help me if you can - I don't know what to do
with out you

Im Not Wearing Any Make-up
In search of a new tomorrow
The love that I hope to find
The dream that I seem to follow
Round in circles every time
You were always there
When I was on my own
There were lonely voices calling
Theres a night thats falling
And Ill make you feel the voodoo
What I do to you
And if I set you free
I lose your love forever
But thats the darkest side of me
The games we love to play
I dont mind your lies
Are we friends or are we enemies
Tell me what the message is
Love is blind
Im not wearing any make-up now
Everything you see is real
God only knows , we fall in love
God only knows, we fall apart
Do we turn around and walk away
Never wise enough to know that it was beautiful
Telling me its beautiful
Telling me its beautiful
To think that I was sent to hurt you
You say that I went too far
You say that to stay forever
Then you tell me nevermore
I was always there
Before you turn to stone
There were lonely voices calling
Theres a night thats falling
And Ill make you feel the voodoo
What I do to you
And what you did to me
And bringing us together
But thats the darkest side of me
The games we love to play
I dont mind your lies
Are we friends or are we enemies
Tell me what the message is
Love is blind
Im not wearing any make-up
Everything you see is real
God only knows we fall in love
Do we turn around and walk away
Never wise enough to know that it was beautiful
Telling me its beautiful
Im not wearing any make-up
Everything you see is real
God only knows we fall in love
God only knows we fall apart

The Line
Sometimes a line comes along,
From nowhere, or
Anywhere, or
Everywhere;
It's just there
Going into your head,
Like the blueprint of your soul
Has been read.
And it is good -so good- to you.
You feel you must share it
With the entire world, through and through.
So you work and you try
To find a way
With wise words
This line to say;
Wrestle with your intellect
As you might,
Work on it
Day and night.
Still, the written words just are not there;
And, you begin to wonder does it matter?
Would anyone, anyhow truly care?
So, you put it away
In the darkness of the mind,
Out of touch
And out of time.
The moments and seasons
Drift ever along,
To here and to there
On and on.
As life has a way of pounding
And dragging with a mix of wonder and drear,
Day unto day
Year after year;
Season upon season...
Until, for some unseen reason
You one day come to realize
It's still there...
In your soul, somewhere.
That beautiful old verse
From way back when,
So you seek it out
Once again.
Ponder and ponder through the mind
Search and search, look and look
Until you find
The nearly forgotten words
Of this fantastic old line.
When once more thought
It still lays open the soul so bare,
And gives cause again to wonder
Now, would-could anyone care?
Yet, with age comes shifting perspective
Thereby giving cause to think:
Does it truly matter anymore?
For is that- was that ever-
What the line
Was given for?
Soon your spirit soars
Whistling, to yourself, the old familiar score,
A time... or two...
As here again it has its mystic effect upon you,
Its movement, its passion
Its wonderful sense of sweet satisfaction;
The places it takes you
In your heart and mind,
Way back and way forward
Throughout all time.
As if a precious gift
Given for none other,
Your spirit alone to uplift
Like the tender note of a fantastic old lover.
Therefore you become quite aware
Even if no one else ever cares,
The line was never meant for the world.
Rather, all along
It's meaning to be known,
Was always and only...
For you alone.
It was only with you
Who could truly for it care,
That God did so, the line
Desire to share.

Beautiful to me...
Lips of silk and eye's of cream,
You are the vision in my dream.
I curse the days when we're apart,
They're long and heavy upon my heart...
For you're so beautiful to me, oh so very beautiful to me...
The sunlight shining from your hair,
When you're around I'm free of care.
You make me feel like the first day of spring,
When your in my arms my heart does sing...
For you're so beautiful to me, oh so very beautiful to me...
Staring into your eyes I'm carried away,
On the wings of love to a brighter day.
Will you meet me there to be together?
Oh please say yes... So we can have forever...
For you're so beautiful to me, oh so very beautiful to me...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Teach Them How To Fish
you may give them fish
but for how long will you be giving them fish? for how long will you fish yourself?
teach them how to fish and they will also teach others how to fish.
that is wiser that way.
teach them poetry at first. let them read the easiest one to understand. let them
see the beauty of the simplest lines from you and from the poet that you love.
teach them how to write one from the fingers of their hand. love their work and tell them how beautiful are they. there is always beauty in every personalized line. i know.i am telling you. your lines speak what is in your heart and everything
inside our hearts are always innately beautiful
let them read their lines. let them speak the meaning that they are hiding in there. that which you have never seen yourself. let them defend beauty and grace and truth in their own work. beauty and truth and goodness have to be
defended by its creator too.
listen. open your mind. listen attentively.
teacher. listen to them. they are now making their own.
love each work.
teacher listen. now they are teaching you. now you are learning some more.
they have their own wings now.
teacher, see the sky. see them. oh how beautiful are they. they are all flying
and singing. do not wish them to come back to you. let them fly away.let them see the big wide world. let them find the other universes.
they are not yours. they belong to themselves. they are now free.
that is your happiness that even the gods cannot give you.
sit back. and write another poem for another batch. some more. some time.

All About Love
Maurice white & larry dunn
We know its been time talking to you,
So we figure we lay it on you.
Let you know how we feel about, love.
Paint a pretty smile, each day
Lovin, is a blessing,
Never let it fade away.
Its all about love
Build yourself a true romance,
Theres beauty that surround you
You deserve, just one more chance
My dear, my dear
Let the light snine, all through
Your mind feel your little, heart a glow.
Take the time, make up your mind
Its all about love
Talking to yourself is fine makes
You feel, much better,
Know just where to draw the line
My dear, my dear
Bound to fall in love one day
Surely and you need it,
Pretty smile will always say
Its all about love
We want to take this moment to run
Down a couple of things about things
We see everyday.
Now, I want you to stop whatever youre doing.
Youre doing. just stop.
You know, they say there s beauty
In the eyes which I say is not the fact.
cause you are as beautiful as your
Thoughts, right on.
You know, for instance, we study all kin
Kinds of sciences, astrogy, mysticism,
Religion, so forth we did.
And like coming from here place, all these things help
Because if youre inside your inner self
Have mercy!
Now. theres an outer self we got to deal with
The one that likes to go to parties,
One that likes to dress up and be cool
And look pretty, all ego-trips avel all this.
Hear you all, Im trying to tell you,
You gotta love you. and learn all the beautiful things around you,
Trees and birds. and if there aint no beauty,
You got to make some beauty. have mercy!
Listen to me, yeah!

Dream Dream
Dream dream like falling rain
All is beautiful though searched in vain
Love is a pain - love is a feeling
Something of a passion somewhere stealing
Love comes and goes like it glows
All is a dream - a dream that goes
Feeling from the darker night
Taking all the blues away
Flying light sweet soft light
That meets another day
Everything that comes to shine
Gives a brighter on day
Something that makes you feel fine
Taking the shadows away
Love is never out of touch
In all its temperaments and play
It’s a mood to feel so much
And never the same, always to stay
Love comes and goes like it glows
All is a dream - a dream that goes
Sometimes when we are far apart
And nothing seem comfortably right
It’s only the inside beating heart
That makes my dreamy on flight
All is a dream - a dream that goes
Love song of feelings that inside glows
Dream dream like falling rain
All is beautiful though searched in vain
Love is a pain - love is a feeling
Something of a passion somewhere stealing
Love comes and goes like it glows
All is a dream - a dream that goes

Deserae's Poem
This was the first love poem I ever wrote. I wrote it for my first girlfriend. This was only shortly after I started writing poetry.
Your face is like an angel's grace
Your face is like a dove.
It's beautiful to see it,
And know that I'm your love.
You're beautiful, you're smart,
You're the angel in my life
Our love is growing stronger yet,
So strong it could break a knife.
With these three words you took my heart
You said it and I thought 'Who? '
Then I realized it was me
When you said 'I love you.'
you took my heart and loved it.
You're the full moon during the day.
I fell in love, I loved to hear
That name called 'Deserae.'
More beautiful than nature.
More Gentler than stuffed bears.
More lovely than a ballad sung
When I knew that you care.
I makes me glad you like me
Because love is pure and fine
It makes me glad you love me
And also that you are mine.

Beautiful You
A silhouette walking near, the figure so dear
shapely formed, a sunny halo adorn
a elegant walk, a very soft talk
a beautiful dress, so perfectly fit
the gorgeous eyes, the luscious lips
the soft skin, flowery pins
gentle hands, painted nail
closer she got the more beautiful
nature's creation, God's work
a sparkle in your eye and the beautiful smile
an angel without wings, heaven brings
to hold your gorgeous body so dear to me
never to let go, always to love
your my beautiful angel, my beautiful love
your a dream come true, i do scream
Love you to the end of time
