Rise in life is a vanity.
Every rise in your status
Makes you rigid to stoop.
Love that in-flows is false.
Love that out-flows is stagnant.
At last, you end up as useless,
An empty barrel in vanity.
A creeper that hardened to a tree.

Love flows against banks
Every flow slows with resistance.
Sexual love is an exception
It flows against resistance
With increased persistence.

Time flows
Time, time just flows
Fills your heart with, highes and lows
Time, time just flows
Shows you birds, the dogs and the crows
You try to stop it
Try to block it
But you can't go
You try to turn it
Try to burn it
But you can not go
Time, time just flows
Takes your name and makes you history heroes
Time, time just flows
Pulls you around, streaches and throws with blows
You try to harm it
Try to charm it
But you can't go
You try to kill it
Try to fill it
But you can not go
This is the time you go around
This is the time you hear the sound
This is the time you run and win
This is the time you find your kin
Just go
Oh! just go
Time it just flows

River Feeling
River feeling is
As simple as
Closing your eyes
For a moment.
Everything flows like river
River feeling is
As smooth as
Everything after
The first step.
Everything flows like river
River feeling is
easy as forgetting
Walking boots.
Everything flows like river
River feeling is
nice as
iron ties
Coming off.
Everything flows like river
Everything flows like river
Everything flows like river
Everything is good and flows
like river

Love is irremovable.
Dear Nita, I love you hand in glove,
I am, for you, head over heals in love.
No one must have fallen, with you, in love,
No one but me, you must love, I resolve.
Farness eludes our proximity.
Family bond prevents our unity.
You are too shy to take chance, if any.
The mirage of love is my vanity.
How someone-else can or may love you, given
That I alone can or must love you any more?
None else do I love; none else should you, driven
By this fallacy, I run after you.
Your features were not the cause of my love.
You were not alone under the roof to choose from.
Yet I love you; it’s irrevocable, irreversible.
The inaccessibility of you did it all.
In my love for you, there’s no otherness.
I disbelieve any such otherness
‘Cause love refuses to admit otherness.
So, my love can head towards emptiness.

Love is more by nature than by merit.
A creeper is very much attached to the tree that it climbs on till it lasts or the tree lasts, not by the merit of the tree
but by the nature of creeper’s fragility.
Any tree in its place makes no difference.
A loving wife, widowed, can equally be a loving wife when remarried.
If you have a loving wife, more it is her nature.
She can love others too if replacement is made.

Long River
Where the long river flows
It flows by my window
Where the tall timber grows
It grows round my door
Where the mountains meet the sky
And the white clouds fly
Where the long river flows
By my window
Theres a tiny bird that calls
And he calls by my window
Theres a lonely tear that falls
And it falls round my door
But when the sun is high
Theres no time to cry
Where the long river flows
By my window
Now if only you could see
The closin of the day
If only you could be
Where the dawn breaks away
By the white cascade
Oh down in the glade
Where the long river flows
By my window
Well when this land was made
It was made full of wonder
But one womans love
I cant understand
And Id give it all to you
If her love were true
Where the long river flows
By my window
Where the long river flows
By my window

I Burn For You
Now that I have found you
In the coolth of your evening smile
The shade of your parasol
And your love flows through me
Though I drink at your pool
I burn for you, I burn for
You and I are lovers
When night time folds around our bed
In peace we sleep entwined
And your love flows through me
Though an ocean soothes my head
I burn for you, I burn for
Stars will fall from dark skies
As ancient rocks are turning
Quiet fills the room
And your love flows through me
Though I lie here so still
I burn for you, I burn for you
I burn...

The real love
You are in pursuit of her love
Whether she requites it or not.
The pain that you take for her
Is not at all painful but a pleasure.
Her every word is resounding.
Anything reminding her
Is the source of your energy.
You love her even in losing her.
Then your love is real
Not she, the loving, makes you happy.

Count Me Out
What kind of love is this that leaves me feeling cold
You look right through me what see nobody knows
Youre in a world all by yourself - needing no one else
Feeling so secure
Youre on the road to nowhere, left your past behind
Whats to become of me, should feelings be denied
Another time another place, would I be the same old face
For you to have around
Theres no way in, theres no way out Im caught in the middle
Why must you leave my heart in doubt
We have a one way love that flows from me to you
Theres nothing more for me to lose
Were through with talking now we know that its the end
Weve played our foolish games amd its useless to pretend
It seems like only yesterday, that love had come to stay
How could we be so blind
Theres no way in, theres no way out Im caught in the middle
Why must you leave my heart in doubt
We have a one way love that flows from me to you
Theres nothing more for me to lose
I dont know where your heart is or whats inside your head
If this is love you said it, if this is love forget it
If this is love then count me out

Please let Me Get What I Want [ a song ]
PLEASE
Let me get what I want
I thought I gave you what
You asked.
How long will you go on
Living in my heart,
If you won't even let me
into yours?
.
My love is like a river that flows,
And flows, and never dries up,
My love is like the birds in the sky,
As tender and sweet
Like the songs they make.
.
PLEASE
Let me get what I want my love
By now you should know
What I want.
I thought I told you I was in love.

Cherith
The Cherith Brook flows into the Yahdan,
And like my love which flows to your heart!
For i want you to drink the water of my love in peace.
What do you see in front of me my love?
For i am meek and lovely in my heart;
And you will find rest with me always,
But this muse of love had brought us together.

True love
To love a woman,
Assured of her status,
Is like the seed sown
In a prepared land,
To rear an orchard.
To love a woman
At the very first sight
Is like the seed dispersed
Over raw land as such,
To emerge as wild plant.
The wild plant hardly dies.
True love is not the love
Of the prince for the princess.

Just As The Tide Was A Flowing
[ music: traditional/lyric: arranged by 10,000 maniacs ]
On one morning
In the month of may
When all the birds
Were singing
I saw a lovely maiden stray
Across the fields at break of day
She softly sung her roundelay
The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice every day returning
Her cheeks were red
Her eyes were brown
Her hair in ringlets hanging down
Upon her face to hide the frown
Just as the tide was a flowing
The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice everyday returning
A sailors wife at home must bide
She halted heavily she sighed
He parted from poor me , a bride
Im widowed by the sea she cried
Just as the tide was a flowing
The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice every day returning

Men are cowards.
Lust of man for a woman
Is fluid in status,
With tendency to flow down.
They advance to women
Who are lower in age or stage.
Men are cowards.

Sexual love- its effect.
You are desperate to please her,
You discard what she dislikes
And adopt what she likes.
You spend time and energy
Like water to earn her love.
You do everything
To rise up in her estimate.
Her defects are invisible.
Her merits are enlarged.
Her evasion, you take as testing.
Her vision, you wait for endlessly.
You are obsessed with her features.
It is the real sexual love.
Love for the deity is similer too.

Off-shoot love
He is away from his wife,
Whom he loves best as a whole,
And still has developed
Some passion for another,
With whom he is in contact,
Without disturbing his love,
Which flows below for his wife
With no threat from the love
That flows above for the other.

Vanity Kills
Have you heard the latest? (you love you)
Have you seen who just walked in (vain vain vain vain)

Shes so vain vain vain vain

Vanity kills, it dont pay bills
Vanity kills, you love you
Vanity kills, it dont pay bills
Vanity kills, it kills
So glad I found you glancing in the mirror
Gazing deeply at loves patron saint
Admire the frame, survey the scenery
Or are you just inspecting the paint
Temptations strong modestys so weak
High on yourself humble you aint
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom yeah
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom yeah

I love for failure
Love for eyes is never felt
Unless it is lost.
Love for a woman is gone
When love is won.
Love failure outlives,
So, failingly I love and love.

Bigelow
You are witness against yourselves but,
I am under the oak tree watching you;
For my name is Bigelow and,
I came from the city of palms.
Your love is like the gardens by the riverside and,
Your red sea flows continually to touch my heart;
But the people around you do worship 'Sheva' and,
They expected to fo to heaven soon.
How beautiful are your valley of love my sweet one?
For your dwelling place needs my sweet milk;
And i am like the cedar beside the waters of love.
False doctrine,
But who will bring you laughter my love?
Because there is no smile on the faces of the people!
Maybe i can,
But the donkey saw me and turned aside;
And i still want to be your helper on this side.

Love From A Hate Man
screams and yells
hurt and pain
hits and kills
your love from him
is screams
your love from him
is hurt
your love from him
is hits
the love he showes you, hurts you
his hugs are hits
his kisses are kills
pain flows from his fingers to your heart
pain flows out of his mouth and in to yours with every kiss
pain flows out of his body and in to yours with every hug
pain and tears
screams and sorrow
hits and kills
is his love to you
