Live for, die for

Love once saw himself
in a mirror
and was trapped
by the void
of his own being,
he was all heart
and no head.
It was
an image of himself
that he would
never forget
and ever since that day
you can find him
on dance floors
between partners,
he is the perspiration
on the palms
of two lovers,
the frame
holding the
pictures.
He lives in flowers
and on king size beds,
the static
on the phone
between
long distance lovers.
He relents
on rare occasions
usually
when lust swoons him,
the trickery
of her movements
he can never
resist
and so Love
dies a slow
and misleading
death
one that
pretends
to be alive.
Love
is ashamed
by his
contenders.
He hangs
on the letters in poems
written from
one lover
to another
and even when
the words no longer
ring true,
Love grieves for them
if only they knew.
Love drips off the paint
on canvases,
he once watched
as the eager artist
held the brush
trying to portray
the beauty
of his beloved woman
and Love
would weep
at the devotion
and the accuracy.
Love dwells
in the fabrics
of our
favorite sweaters,
he's at the
bottom of the
old box
filled with letters.
Love is in the tears
that have been
soaked up
by our pillowcases
and when we cry,
he cries ten times harder.
Love is lonely
in the broken locket
between two
smiling faces
who haven't
seen each other
in years
and he rests there
proud of what he created
but embarrassed by
what humans tore apart.
Love doesn't take sides
but he can start wars.
Sometimes
he's gleaming
in the
diamond ring
of the bride
and sometimes
he's a withering rose
resting on a grave.
Crash and burn.
Live and learn.
Love takes
but doesn't earn
he gives
and rarely gets
he forgives
but never forgets
he's an unstable fairytale
a war veteran without a gun
he's the moon
the sun
and the stars
constantly
recreating what we are.
He's all we have
all we need
all that we will ever be.
Love is Love
and Love is Life
the only thing
in this world
that refuses
to go down
without
a fight.

Her...

I can never get my mind off her,
I wonder if she'd mind if i'd,
make her my own,
and never let her go,
hug her tight,
treat her right,
act all polite,
take her on a date,
make sure i'm never late,
kiss her on her lips,
talk about our kids,
Make her feel like princess,
living in a castle,
hope that is not too much hassle,
But i am so blessed,
hope i can be the best,
hold you tight,
have your BR3A$t,
on my chest,
pass the test,
NOW YOUR MINE!

Bitter Blow of Love

Love! you dealt a bitter blow –
You lay me cross the mortal plains,
Bedewed, bedimmed amongst a show
Of tearful clouds: eternal rains
To weep at my enduring foe

Of harsh reality – searing pains of
Destiny: dependable propensity
To fool myself repeatedly
That I could ever triumph over love!

Love can be.

Love can be there when we start,
Love can be there when we depart.
Love can be hot,
Love can be cold.
Love can be an unsure,
Love can be confident as gold.
Love can be good,
Love can be unkind.
Love can be mysterious,
Love can be blind.
Love can be endless,
Love can be short.
Love can be stolen,
Love can be bought.
Love can understand,
Love can be an art,
Love can be tearing apart.
Love can be spoken,
Love can be making.
Love can be broken,
Love can be leaving,
Love can be a cost.
Love can believe,
Love can be lost.
Love can be jealously,
Love can be a task.
Love can be all at sea,
Love can be under a mask.
Love can be big,
Love can be small.
Love can be meaning,
Love can be a phone call.
Love can be sexy,
Love can be in words.
Love can be funny.
Love can be in this verse.
Love can be, like the love in you and me.

Live for Love, Love for Live, Love! Love! Love!

Love you in the morning!
Love you in the evening,
Love you in the noonday,
Love you all the way!
Live for love, love for live, love! Love! Love!

Winter and summer come and just go!
But true lovers come and gather, never forgo,
Love tugs the heart string!
Love ignites the soul to sing,
Live for love, love for live, love! Love! Love!

I will give you the wind of my sky today,
I will give you the waves in my ocean someday,
I will give you the beat in my heart one-day!
I will give you the wreath of flowers everyday;
Live for love, love for live, love! Love! Love!

Love gives you inspiration,
Yet love takes your ambition!
Love gives you admiration,
Yet love takes your animation!
Live for love, love for live, love! Love! Love!

Love bestows you with promised lands Sojourn,
Yet love breaks your invigoration!
Love bestows you with fairylands forlorn,
yet love shocks your vilification!
Live for love, love for live, love! Love! Love!

Love's Jewel Is Easy To Find

Love is a friend inside your heart
Love's a wonder the start,
A pleasure to give
Love is to believe,
The way to live
Love is not for those
Who love to hate,
Love is beauty as is a rose
Love opens heaven's gate,
Love opens many doors
Love from the heart and it's yours
Love's jewel is easy to find,
Love's the soother of the mind.
Love is riches for the kind
Love is for lovers who often fight
Love will always hold them tight,
If you think you've been left out
God will always love you there is no doubt.

Its A Hard Life

Words and music by freddie mercury
I dont want my freedom
Theres no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation
Ive only got myself to blame
Its just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone
You win - you lose
Its a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
And now you say its over and Im falling apart
Its a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
Its a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When youre in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say its just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now Im waiting for something to fall from the skies
And Im waiting for love
Yes its a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
Its a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When youre in love
Yes its a hard life
In a world thats filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in evry way
Its a long hard fight
But Ill always live for tomorrow
Ill look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love

Love Is.............................

Love is desire,
Love is on fire,
Love is my word,
Love is to hold,
Love is my sin,
Love is my dream.
Love is lust,
Love is my truth,
Love is my journey,
Love makes me horny,
Love is on me,
Love is what you see,
Love teach me how,
Love takes a bow,
Love never dies,
Love is a surprise,
Love take care of you,
Love is true,
Love is my faith,
Love is great,
Love is so real,
Love is dear,
Love is you,
I love you, always do

Love Is

What is love, Love can't see you but you can't see it
Love is a sneaky thing I guess sort of slick

Love can hurt and Love can heal
Love can be born and Love can kill

Love has won and Love has lost
Love can catch and Love can toss

Love can stand and Love can fall
Love is small and Love is tall

Love is right and Love is wrong
Love is weak but Love is strong

Love is up and Love is down
Love can smile and Love can frown

Love is good and Love can be bad
Love is quite and Love can brag

Love is a little and Love is a lot
Love contiues and Love stops

Love can hope and Love can dream
Love can talk and Love can sing

Love can be a word or Love can be a ring
Love can be nothing or Love can be everything

So where is this thing we call Love
I dont know the only real love we have comes from above...

True Love

There’s something more to love
Than saying, ‘I love you! ’
There’s something more to love
Than asking, ‘How do you do? ’

There’s something more to love
Than catching hands to walk;
There’s something more to love
Than everything you talk.

There’s something more to love
Than writing letters long;
There’s something more to love
Than composing a song.

There’s something more to love
Than embracing, kissing;
There’s something more to love
Than enquiring, hugging.

There’s something more to love
Than cooking dainty foods;
There’s something more to love
Than romance or sex-moods.

There’s something more to love
Than doing house-hold chores;
There’s something more to love
Than opening heart’s doors.

There’s something more to love
Than inking poetry;
There’s something more to love
Than sinking hate truly.

There’s something more to love
Than touring the whole world;
There’s something more to love
Than forget bad words hurled.

There’s something more to love
Than entwining in bed;
There’s something more to love
Than things all done or said.

True love is undefined;
True love is invisible;
True love is most refined;
True love’s indelible!

True love is celestial;
True love is more concealed;
True love’s perennial;
True love stays least revealed!

True love’s ill-understood;
True love is tested much;
True love’s misunderstood;
True love has divine touch!

If Love

If love could be another word,
If love always is true,
If love’s all the world’s about,
Then Honey, love is you.

If love, my love, is perfect,
If love, my love, is fine,
If love, my love, is love divine,
Then for you, my love, I pine.

If love is romantic modulation,
If love’s my heart’s only consideration,
If love is love’s only calculation,
Then I have but love’s declaration.

Can a man love a woman,
And not want to love her more?
Can a man love a woman,
And not want to be loved even more?

If love, my love, is the question,
If love, my love, is the solution,
Then you, my love, are my occupation,
My one and only adoration!

Love Be Gone

love is deep inside
love always swings by
love knocks on your door
three times a day
love is in the air
love theres plenty to share
love is a way of life
love can't be cut with a knife
love kills and destroys
love can close and open many doors
love comes when your hurt
love comes when your mad
love comes in many ways
love comes but can be sent away
some say they don't want to be in love
but love is still there
love doesn't go away
theres going to always be
some one to love you
or some one you love
some wish there was a
love be gone.

love be gone is a mile
away waiting
for the right one to frown and say
i hate you, i don't love you
love be gone is here to stay
love be gone always wants to play

Love And Beauty

(Mike Pinder)
I look around at other people
I brush their shoulders at the corner of the street
But all they notice is their feet
It wasn't meant this way
Their minds have gone astray
If they could lift their eyes they'd see
There's people smiling just like me and I'll agree
It's not their fault because it's raining
It's all work and no play, it's just another day
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
Should be everybody's duty
To welcome every man as a friend
I wish that I could change the world
For every boy there'd be a girl for him to know
And maybe people would look up
Then they might realize they're not the only ones alive
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
Should be everybody's duty
To welcome every man as a friend
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)

Forsaking My Love

I hate you
I wish to tear you away from me
This tumor that clings to my chest
The thing that makes me ache
That haunts my dreams
And tears at my desires
You have brought me only pain
My untamed heart
That beast that gnaws at my soul
That pitifully whines
Bringing my mind into unwanted pain
Yet how can I blame you
How can I chastise you when I listen intently to your pleas
Why should I punish you for what my eyes feed upon
How can I blame my eyes for falling upon her
She who brings light to the eternal darkness of my soul
She whose eyes bring me to subjection
Whose smile leaves me in awe
How can I blame you when my ears are met with her laughter
How they submerge into her song
How they quiver at her voice
Why should I punish you for inclining my soul
Tempting it with the one sense that has been forsaken by her
How could I look over the thought of the brushing of lips
The touching of hands
The binding of the soul, mind, and body
O you wretched heart
What am I to do with this constant companion
How could I tear you away
When she is the cause of my agony
Or rather
It is the lack of her which brings me sorrow
It is the need for her that leaves my heart in pain
Yet she is not mine
She was never mine
She will never be mine
O my poor heart
How can I make you see reason
When all you do is show me the truth

We Are Love

True love does not love us for what we do.
We are not our mistakes.
We are not our jobs.
True love loves us for who we are.
We are children,
We are mothers,
We are fathers,
We are grandparents,
We are friends,
We are family.
What we do does not define us.
What we become as a result does.
We learn of love from life.
A life that is always changing.
Never consistent,
But always persistent.
It was not life that created love.
It was love that created life.
To find love, we must seek the source.
The creator.
It is He that is love that created love.
From love and out of love.
Always in love,
With the love of His love.
That love is you.
That love is me.
Now that you know.
You can become.
What you were always destined to be.
For we are who we are,
We are simply love,
And love alone.
If we are love,
Then that is what we do.

True Love Is Gone

True love is weak, when lovers are weak,
True love is meaningless, when lovers are useless,
True love is not true, when lovers are untrue,
True love is wickedness if lovers are wicked,

One sided love, is not true love,
Fault finding in love isn't its stand,
It isn't perfectness, but affections
Nor not for something on somebody,

True love is dead, when it is believed to alive,
True love is wrong if lovers are right,
True love will lose, if lovers are winners,
True love is gone if lovers stays.

Only Love

You may live alone and close your eyes
Some folks do
You may dream a dream thats twice your size
All night through
When the morning comes whos to tell your dreams to
Only you
Chorus:
Only love, love only, only love
Will do
Only love, love only, only love
Comes true
Nothing else, you see, there nothing else
Only love, only love
I have known a love within my heart
One or two
Where one love would end and one would start
I never knew
If love should come your way youll learn to say
I love you I love you
Repeat chorus twice

Life Is Useless

Love is forever
but without love we wouldn't be together
Love is right
but without love no one can fight
Love is wrong
but without love no one is strong
Love is faithful
but without love we are shameful
Love is true
but without love what would the world do
Love is thankful
but without love life is painful
Love is awesome
but without love everyone is lonesome
Love is powerful
but without love people are hateful
Love is countless
but without love LIFE IS USELESS.

She Don't Love Me

I love her but she don’t love me
She thinks she love another man
And he’s no good you understand

I love her but she don’t love me
Running round drinking every night
He’ll never treat my baby right

I love her but she don’t love me
She don’t know the things he does
She don’t know the women he loves

I love her but she don’t love me
How long before she quits the chase
Seeing chasing that man is a total waste

I love her but she don’t love me
He’s not the kind to settle down
Breaking hearts all over town

I love her but she don’t love me
I tell her every chance I get
She’s not ready to accept that yet

I love her but she don’t love me
I’m going to get me that girl
Show her that she is my world

I love her but she don’t love me
Can’t anyone love her as I do
If you knew her you’d love her to

I love her she don’t love me
I have loved her for many years
She caused me to shed many tears

I love her she don’t love me
Thinking of her my heart bleeds
I’m always there anytime she needs

I love her but she don’t love me
I’ll live in misery on my own
If I can’t have her I’ll die alone
