A Seed of Love
sitting here
leaned against the couch
finding words
to write down
begging my heart
to feel what i know
what i know is gone
gone without flow
but i found a seed
a seed to plant
behind this couch
in my hand
a seed of love
love, life, compassion
a simple thing
needs so much to grow
a stem
some leaves
with life to show
love needs time
time, work, and action
love needs work
with a life
full of tension
so i say
lets make it work
lets take this seed
and make it perk
perk up with life
life, love, compassion

The Lord's Harvest of Plenty
What a truly awesome thought indeed,
That throughout your day you live among seed.
Not the seeds that one would find in the ground,
These are not seen, but in the heart they are found.
These seeds are planted by the children of God,
As they simply follow the path The Savior has trod.
Your life as a Christian is not merely good deeds,
As your faithful witness could plant one of these seeds.
Or your life may be busy with a seed you don't know,
And your faithful witness is helping that little seed grow.
Planting and watering, as a Christian, is all we afford,
While all of the growth of that seed comes from the Lord.
After a little growth it is no longer a seed,
But a new vibrant Christian prepared for a deed.
The deed that has been prepared, I'm sure that you know,
Is to plant some new seed and to help water and help grow.
Once they have grown, they are cut with God's sickle of love,
And taken by The Lord to their Father's Home up above.
Whether the numbers are few or they are many,
You can be part of The Lord's Harvest of Plenty.

Love & Compassion
I used to think love was a dying art
Compassion couldnt live within a crowded heart
I saw my freedom in a poor mans eyes
Hope like a light, will to survive
A sense of dignity to hold up high
These are the simple things
That keep us all alive
And though the rich buy power for a time
One thing that money cant buy
Chorus
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Thats what it takes
(give love...youre gonna feel love...
Ooo... feel love... youre gonna give love)
One night when I was feelin all alone
I saw a shadow walking in the danger zone
I knew that I would have to make a choice
Hunger in my heart, hunger in my spirit
We wont be free until we equalize
The price of power to the price of every life
And though I know its gonna take some time
Someday were all gonna find
Love and compassion
(onlv) love and compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Thats what it takes to relate
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
(oniy) love und compassion
Thats what it takes
(give love... ooo feel love... youre gonna
Feel love... if you give love)
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
(only) love und compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compassion
Someday were gonna find it
Oh when I was alone
And I reached out for more
I just opened my eyes
Love und compassion
I know it will take some time
But you know were gonna make it come true
Love and compassion
All my love and compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
All my love, all my love und compassion
Someday, someday were gonna find it, realize it
Take some time to give
Love und compassion
Hope iike a light, and a will to survive...

Make Love Work
Of all the roads Ive traveled and all the sights Ive seen
The most amazing thing is the power of our dreams
And anything is possible for those who can believe
Just get your heart to rearrange its priorities
For us to make love work
Weve got to try a little harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Lets start to take the chance to make love work
It takes faith in one another to see things eye to eye
And its hard to trust but you know its worth the try
Theres a candle in my window and whenever you feel blue
You can bet your bottom dollar Ill be there for you
For us to make love work
Weve got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Lets start to take the chance to make love work
Oh I do believe in miracles
But I know they dont come easy
So why dont we give destiny
A helping hand
For us to make love work
Weve got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Lets start to take the chance to make love work
Life is just too beautiful
To spend it feeling hurt
Lets start to take the chance to make love work

Lets make a baby
Lets make a baby,
Please come along my love,
The walls can testify,
The room is empty,
Your womb so calling,
Shall i be the farmer,
My seed shall mightly grow,
Yes lets make a baby
My bed is so soft,
Like rose petals are my sheets,
Come along my love,
To regret you will never,
My heart calls for you,
Answer with passion please,
Yes lets make a baby
In the day or in the night,
The choice in your palm,
Descretion to you,
Autonomy is yours,
Yes lets make a baby
In the kitchen or in the lounge,
Spare our bedroom,
For we want it unique,
Lets make history my love,
There comes your boy,
Maybe a girl i assume,
Come along my love
Lets make a baby

The Human Being
A tiny seed is placed in the ground,
It's the start of the miracle of life,
Before very long growth will be found,
Making ready for the stresses and strife.
Throughout the seasons that seed will grow,
Nurture it and a gem will be found,
Treat it with contempt and soon it will show,
There's no goodness inside to be found.
It's an individual with a mind of its own,
Treat it wisely and you can be sure,
When your seed has finally grown,
It's guaranteed to turn out to be pure.
Will it bear fruit well that's up to you,
Have you treated it with love and respect,
Or did you ignore it and cause it ado,
If you did it's the dregs you'll collect.
Never forget we were all seedlings once,
Ignorance towards others must be learned,
Treasure all life do not be a dunce,
Respect from others as a gift must be earned.
Life is a challenge regardless of type,
We're all together in a fight to survive,
As Humans we tend to believe our own hype,
Interdependency is what makes all life thrive.
We are the masters of greed and corruption,
For our future we don't seem to care,
As all life forms now face disruption,
Now's the time to make everyone aware.
Our continued arrogance will bring us all down,
We must acknowledge we are not all seeing,
If we don't we'll be witnessing the death of the clown,
Otherwise titled,
‘' The Human Being ''
Compassion
You want more, and still more,
Until you get more than you ever bargained for.
Now its plain, clear as rain,
Ive seen your symptoms many times before.
Lying on your bed of pain
What will you have now?
What are riches untold in a life without compassion?
For theres no winter as cold
As a life without compassion.
Theres no prescription thats sold
That can heal you like compassion.
Well you tried and you cried,
And let your disappointment make you hard inside.
You have doubt, you reach out,
Still youre the only one you care about.
Hiding in your sack of woe
What do you need now?
For there is nothing so sad
As a life without compassion.
And even love has turned bad,
It was love without compassion.
And you dont need what you had
cause you did not have compassion.
Dying on your bed of pain
What will you have now?
Youll get no judgment from me,
I can only feel compassion.
And if thats what you need,
I will give you my compassion.
Just dont forget about me
cause we all need some compassion.
Open up your heart
So you can start to feel compassion.
Get down on your knees,
Pray to heaven for compassion.
Everybody needs compassion.
If you want to be healed
Then you know you got to feel compassion.

Nature
I know
Oh, oh yeah
Verse
Hey baby
Why you rushing
Lets sit back and watch the flowers grow
Why you want
To swim against the tide
Lets lay and watch the river flow
Here in gods creation
There is always a reason
I know, that love is there for us
Yeah
Chorus
Where well go, baby I dont know
Maybe we should just let nature run the show
Where well go, baby I dont know
Maybe we should just let nature run the show
Verse
I dont wanna watch no movie
Lets sit and watch the stars put on a show
If you want to win my favor
Be creative, and show me your flavor
Cause here in gods creation
For everything there is a session
Let go let life
Let love let god
Chorus
Where well go, baby I dont know
Maybe we should just let nature run the show
Where well go, baby I dont know
Maybe we should just let nature run the show
Bridge
Like the sun shines and
The wind blows
Like the birds fly
And the moon glows
If I am meant for you and
You are meant for me
Then we will flow together
Everlastly
Chorus x2
Where well go, baby I dont know
Maybe we should just let nature run the show
Where well go, baby I dont know
Maybe we should just let nature run the show
Out
Baby we should sit, watch the flowers grow
Baby we should sit, back and watch the moon glow
Baby, we should feel the wind blow
First you plant a seed
And then it grows and
Then it blooms
And it dies
That the cycle of life
Same goos for you and i
Maybe this time well get it right
Go with the flow
Maybe well get it right..

Cheap Perfume
You say you love me
What does that mean?
We are every man
You’re every woman
Do I love everyone in you?
Are you nothing more than a fetish?
Are you my projection?
My illusion
My status
What is love?
Is love just a rush and a feeling?
Are you just my sex image, a star?
Selfishness parades as love all the time
Possessive property rights love rules
Selfish feelings projected onto an idol
Mine, Mine, Mine!
Will you love the homeless in me?
Will I be everyman without love?
Will I be the sick and destitute?
The least you do onto one of these
You do onto me the Bible says
What kind of quality will our love have?
Will our emotions be built on compassion?
I don’t want a commercialized love
Do you?
Lets let real love flow from our relationship
Lets not have a superficial definition of love
I know we need time alone and structure
Our life is passing into eternity
Lets do something real with our life together
All this love poetry that is really narcissism
I have had enough cheap perfume

To whosoever cares
Hold me now
(Yes hold me tight)
Don't let me go
We have tried so hard
To make this
emerald love work
But the evil universe
in it's blind pursuit
Of our downfall still
refuses to give
Her stamp of approval
Hold me here
(Yes hold me close for
the benefit of you comfort)
The environment in which
we want to plant the seed
Of this love and watch it
sprout into full life
Is not conducive to our
kind of full blown romance
Hold this hand of mine
We fought for love
And not for this
eyesore of naked racism
And sectarian violence
and hatred engulfed
Political instability
Hold me now
(God knows I want
to feel your petite body
close to my shivering one)
Don't let me disappear
I know you will not make
it without me
Hold me now
Breath some fire into
My cold heart
Don't you ever vanish
You know I am not safe
In the global village of
the enjoyment of the few
Oh hold me so close to you
Make me feel loved
And appreciated
You're the miracle I need
to survive the storms
Of life if
You let me hold you now

The Planted Seed
you cried because i said that i was leaving
you cried because you knew your heart was deceiving.
you took my love for granted
and in my heart, a seed you had planted.
that seed that you planted
made my love truly grow
but there was something that you did'nt know
that i had a free will, the same as you
and i knew just what to do.
i gathered my strength which
i had tucked inside
a strength which i knew to hide.
i broke those chains with which
you had me bound.
and turned my life completely around
the seed that you planted
had strengthened me,
to a point that i could see
that life with you would be misery.
so i leave you with a smile on my face
i walk away with dignity and grace.

As God Gave Freely
As God gave freely unto me
gifts of compassion love patience time
so I also give freely unto you
in the fertile landscapes of harvest mind
have I not prepared fields broken ground
have I not sown in full measure love seed
will you now take ownership of these fields?
will you water fertilize tender growth shoots?
will you weed harvest all life love gift fields?
for 18 months more have I alone toiled prepared?
are not these fields without cost to you purchased?
did I not give sacred work all my time livelihood?
will you choose to help harvest these compassion seeds?
will you let peace love flower with purity in your minds?
will you turn swords into plough shears till peace fields?

Seen though not shown
Fell down a seed on a bed a year ago.
Has grown that seed to a plant by now.
How could it be if the bed was not wet?
A proof that she has been wet to grow my love.
Feign not that your heart is unwet
for my love to set in. Dare to accept.

Trust in me, baby, give me time, gimme time, um gimme time.
I heard somebody say, oh, "the older the grape,
Sweeter the wine, sweeter the wine."
Oh, my love is like a seed, baby, just needs time to grow,
It's growing stronger day by day, yeah,
That's the price you've got to pay.
Trust in me, baby, give me time, gimme time, please, a little more time.
Takes a road runner just a little bit uh-longer, dear,
Oh, to make up my mind, i gotta make up my mind.
Oh, my love is like a seed, baby, just needs time to grow,
It's growing stronger day by day,
That's the price that we both got to pay.
I gotta know, know that i'm ready, oh ready to settle down,
'cause i think too much of your loving, baby,
Yeah, i don't wanna mess your life around!
So if you love me like you tell me that you're doing, dear,
You shouldn't mind paying the price, any price, any price.
Love is supposed to be that special kind of thing,
Make anybody want to sacrifice.
Oh, my love is like a seed, baby, just needs time to grow,
It's growing stronger day by day,
That's the price we both gotta pay.
Trust in me baby, trust in me baby,
Trust in my love, in my heart.
Keep the faith, baby, keep the faith in me, dear, in my arms, in my love.
Don't turn your face away from me, dear, oh you leave a lost girl,

He Who Finds Love
He who finds love in his heart will not totter on hatred’s wind torn hill nor falter at the ledge of jealousy nor fall in the fields of the mischievous plans plotted by the hands of the envious and the cruel.
Love is an eternal essence that has always been before time began and will exist after time has ceased. Love is the mysterious substance that will transport us to a spiritual place when the time has arrived to dispose of the body and continue the endless journey unseen; Love is the seed that falls from our flower into the ground of others and lives there forever; Love is the kindness of offering food to a stranger who receives it as an angel of God.
In life, there are jobs, vocations, and careers, and then there is everyone’s real work. The real work is the work born out of love, done for love, and completed by love. At the end of the day, it is not money or material success that will comfort your soul when you fall asleep upon your pillow but the understanding that you honestly undertook your real work.
And there is no greater failure you can ever undergo than have the time and ability to feel love, share love, express love and be love and realize you never did so.

How Much Fun

You make me feel like I dont need another
Come on baby lets pull back the covers
And do our best to help one another
Find out how much fun we can get into life
You got me scorched where Id forgotten there was fire
You got me foxed and you know I aint a liar
Come on baby, help me try and
Find out how much fun we can get into life
Sit back, relax, weve got all night
Feel the groove, nice and smooth
Lets get it right

I know the place lets go, come on lets fly
You make me feel like I dont need another
Come on baby lets pull back the covers
And do our best to help one another
Find out how much fun we can get into life
You got me higher than Ive been since I started
Couldnt want you more if I tried any harder
We could fall in love ? ? ? ?
Find out how much fun we could get into life
We got whats what
Lets make it work
Feel the beat in your seat
Dont make it jerk
Settle down, look around, there aint no rush
Theres a whole load of possibilities,
Just the two of us
You make me feel like I dont need another
Come on baby lets pull back the covers
And do our best to help one another
Find out how much fun we can get into life
Find out how much fun we can get into life

Swallowing The Seed
swallowing the seed
fear begins to grow
the seed sprouts inside
his belly and roots begin
to travel inside his prostate
down to his bottom
unto his feet
immobilizing him
the seed begins to have
buds and leaves
and twigs and
huge trunks
his eyes shrink on the barks
his nose all gone
there are no signs of the original man
he swallowed the seed of life
that no one dared.

Got so much love inside, you know were gonna make it
Come here and turn the key, unlock all this extacy

Every day a new joy
Loving more than we can measure
So many dreams out there,

Cant wait a minute more,
Youre all Ive been waiting for
Lets start a life affair

To show how much we care
Come on now lets start a life affair
You know Ill be right there

Dancing together this dance that lasts forever
Never been so in love
Eyes bright and open, a thousand new emotions
Raining down from above

To show how much we care
Come on now lets start a life affair
You know Ill be right there

Vibrant Love Seed
a few kind words love vibrant seed
we choose with care
like wild flowers soft dream sown
we blow love this seed
from palm of our hand everywhere
to fall by flow river banks
among majestic tall inspiring trees
beautiful flowers grow
pollinated in love dance flying bees
bright scent wonder sown
among ruin city wastes
we also sow many diverse choice seeds
among dry dust new hope
wonder grows among hearts honey needs
joy in life new dreams tastes
