Sister(charlotte) (2009)
my sister, you're shone me what life is about
how to live
you're shone me what true love is and where to find it.
and when you do find it to never lat it go
you shone me to never give up. to never doubt myself, to always go with my hearts tells me to do
my sister i love you
you shone me so many things in my life i will never forget
i will never forget you
you shone me my peace in life
thank you
my sister you will always be
i will always love you
my sister you make me the person i am today
i love you

A Star!
A star shone out so very bright,
Not just a little, simple one,
But one so special in our sight,
A new life had begun.
A star shone out so very clear,
Hung way up in a cloudless sky,
Over a stable, where a dear
Babe, heard a lullaby.
A star shone out so very bold,
Showing where this child was laid,
With a halo of the purist gold
Around his head, displayed.
A star shone out so very fine,
Leading us all to worship him,
One small human, pure and divine,
Our cup's full to the brim.
A star shone out so very great,
Beaming down on that Christmas birth,
And bands of angels did cantillate,
Praising God across our earth.

The Masters Eyes
How the light shone from the master
How the light shone from the master
How the light shone from the masters eyes
Or how the truth shone, from the master
How the truth shone, from the master
How the truth shone, from the masters eyes
Why didnt they leave us to wander through battered summers
Why didnt they leave us to wander when there was no other
And my questions all were answered
When the light shone from the master
When the light shone, from the masters eyes
From the masters eyes. oh how the light shone (etc.)

True Love Lasts Forever!
True love's first endeavour
Is of course just to release me,
Yet it's not meant to appease me,
But to lead to the light
And to do what proves right - expertly!
True love's oh so clever!
There's no way you can impress it,
Smudge it, cloak it and repress it!
True love knows from the start,
Thus, with grace to impart, alert me!
God grant true love
To all who have strayed like me!
To all who have prayed like me!
For when light's shone, faith's built upon!
True love's great endeavour
Turns you into a new thinker!
From your eyes it takes each blinker!
Then it shares thoughts so new,
Introducing you to your Saviour!
God grant true love
To all who have strayed like me!
To all who have prayed like me!
For when light's shone, faith's built upon!
True love lasts forever, forever, forever!
True love lasts forever, forever, forever!
Forever and ever!

Cowslips
WITH rosy hand a little girl press’d down
A boss of fresh-cull’d cowslips in a rill:
Often as they sprang up again, a frown
Show’d she dislik’d resistance to her will:
But when they droop’d their heads and shone much less,
She shook them to and fro, and threw them by,
And tripp’d away. “Ye loathe the heaviness
Ye love to cause, my little girls!” thought I,
“And what has shone for you, by you must die!”

In the spirit of Rumi - 62 - Religion
The witness said
this is what I saw
no other witnesses were present at the time,
none of the jury were there of course,
the judge was not there
some of the jury said
if he says so I believe him,
some of the jury said
how do I know that's the truth
they listened,
his eyes shone;
their hearts listened,
their eyes shone;
yes they said,
that's true

They Shine
In grief, I spotted two crystals.
Across the flame-drenched fields.
They were leaking and appeared pitiful.
So I wandered to them and stood.
They shone as the sunrise.
They shone as forest fires.
They promised happiness.
They promised omnicide.
I stood there staring into her.
She asks me where I've been all her life.
My whole being smiles at these elusive words.
Considering the euphoria that died.
They shone as the sunrise.
They shone as forest fires.
They promised happiness.
They promised omnicide.
I'm certain that I knew you.
I guess you've always known me.
Now your conflicting intentions.
Have parted this diluted sea.
You lie through your teeth.
You laugh as I grieve.
And you dare call my name.
Knowing I'll cringe again.
These lights will not dim.
Your words never die.
Beautiful yet grim.
Bewildered, I am confined.
They're just eyes.
Soulless eyes.
Lying eyes.
Yet, shining eyes.
They shine.
They shine.
They shine.
I am blind.

I’m in Darkness Though
Leaves stole sunlight and shone.
Lilies stole moonlight and shone.
Girls stole stage light and danced.
Left in darkness I see them.

Orangefield
On a gold autumn day
You came my way in orangefield
Saw you standing by the riverside in orangefield
How I love you then in orangefield
Like I love you now in orangefield
And the sun shone on your hair
When I saw you there in orangefield
Saw you standing by the riverside in orangefield
How I loved you then in orangefield
Like I love you now in orangefield
And the sun shone so bright
And it lit up all our days
You were the apple of my eye
Baby its true
On a golden autumn day
All my dreams came true in orangefield
On a throne of ulster day
You came my way in orangefield
How I loved you then in orangefield
Like I love you now in orangefield
And the sun shone so bright
And it lit up all our lives
And the apple of my eye
Baby was you
On a throne of ulster day
You came my way in orangefield
Saw you standing by the riverside in orangefield
How I loved you then in orangefield
Like I love you now in orangefield
How I loved you then in orangefield
Like I love you now in orangefield.

You Came Into My LIfe
The moonlight that shone at night
Was a dull and lust less light
And then you came into my life
Now I see moonbeams dancing on the breeze
The sun that shone so brightly
Was just a glare that hurt my eyes?
But the beauty through the eyes of love
Makes you see a different shade
It makes you want to live again
With your one and only love
It makes you see a possible
Future in our dreams
We bask upon the beach
Lovers lost in thought and dreams
We hold each other close to heart
Sweet music forever in our dreams
Oh the joy that one feels
Cannot describe just how I feel
It's just so wonderful to be alive
With you forever by my side

The Light from Within
I saw on earth another light
Than that which lit my eye
Come forth as from my soul within,
And from a higher sky.
Its beams shone still unclouded on,
When in the farthest west
The sun I once had known had sunk
Forever to his rest.
And on I walked, though dark the night,
Nor rose his orb by day;
As one who by a surer guide
Was pointed out the way.
'Twas brighter far than noonday's beam;
It shone from God within,
And lit, as by a lamp from heaven,
The world's dark track of sin.

It is very remarkable, that in the book of life, we find some almost of all kinds of occupations, who notwithstanding served God in their respective generations, and shone as so many lights in the world.

To the bible-bashers I just turned away
They were black of course.
Saturday mid-morning; myself
just searching to round off
that poem on praise, adequately, so as not
to let down the poem up to there…
They were black of course.
Who else would hope to bring
the whi’ fo’ back to God? …
even the Muslims have given up on us…
they, twentyish, I guess; he in front,
she all eager friendly smile behind..
they shone with goodness; goodness
that shone beyond what they, what I, would say;
beyond the headline of the magazine
he showed me, smiling, asked me what I thought:
‘Are these the Last Days? ’…
I said, I’d pass on that;
wished them my good wishes:
wishes nondenominational, unspecified..
returned to the computer, now to find
the poem on praise, a hollow mockery…
and to the mind, there came that potent line:
‘Live each day as if thy last’…
They’re probably still knocking, down the streets,
gathering reactions mild and wild …
I’d just like it if they – all too late - could know that
for a moment, goodness met the eye of goodness,
yet found no time to praise in present words..

Lights From Within Hallowed Hall
`
There were two lights that shone bright in the fields of green,
the one was bright in ways that it shadowed the other;
that even after the first had snuffed out, its afterglow
shone brilliantly and commandingly that the other cowered.
Both these lights have come from the same source;
both created for great things - illumining a darkening world,
each never intended to outshine the other, but together
bring upon this life a freedom from the lurking shadows.
In the same way always remember,
let your light shine before humanity
that they may see the good to be found in you
and thereby praise your Father in heaven.

Advice: to himself
Sad Catullus, stop playing the fool,
and let what you know leads you to ruin, end.
Once, bright days shone for you,
when you came often drawn to the girl
loved as no other will be loved by you.
Then there were many pleasures with her,
that you wished, and the girl not unwilling,
truly the bright days shone for you.
And now she no longer wants you: and you
weak man, be unwilling to chase what flees,
or live in misery: be strong-minded, stand firm.
Goodbye girl, now Catullus is firm,
he doesn’t search for you, won’t ask unwillingly.
But you’ll grieve, when nobody asks.
Woe to you, wicked girl, what life’s left for you?
Who’ll submit to you now? Who’ll see your beauty?
Who now will you love? Whose will they say you’ll be?
Who will you kiss? Whose lips will you bite?
But you, Catullus, be resolved to be firm.

Six cheap people in an empty hotel
Every last one with a story to tell
Give them all pills, so their heads wont swell
We were borne to a woman whose husband did quite well
Oh sunshine, shone brighty
Through my windoew today
Could have tripped out quite easy but I decided to stay
Hold ouit your hand said whitey with the blame
Gonna bring you up so you really dig the pain
Take you under my wings so youll never be the same
Cos your wife is so much older and both her legs are lame
A sunbeam shone brightly through my window today
Could have gone 20 miles but I decided to stay
All my flock has packed up and flocked back to hell
Open up the windows so the place dont start to smell
Carry on with what your doing cos you dont to it that well
Ive been umpteen different people and no one else can tell
Sunshine shone brightly through my asshole today
Could have tripped out quite easy but I decided to stay
To stay a while
Come up and see me make me smile
Come up and see me make me smile

Like A Rose
And as I look into your eyes
I see an angel in disguise
Sent from God above
For me to love
To hold and idolise
And as I hold your body near
I'll see this month through to a year
And then forever on
'Til life is gone
I'll keep your loving near
And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose
And when I feel like hope is gone
You give me strength to carry on
Each time I look at you
There's something new
To keep our loving strong
I hear you whisper in my ear
All of the words I long to hear
Of how you'll always be
Here next to me
To wipe away my tears
And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do is follow you
To lighten off my load
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose
And though the seasons change
Our love remains the same
You face the thunder
When the sunshine turns to rain
Just like a rose
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

Among the Worlds
Among worlds shone, amid glimmers,
A single star whose name I repeat....
Not so that I may come to love it,
But because I am weary of the rest.
And if I find doubt a burden,
I seek only from her an answer,
Not because she shines brightly
But because with her I need no light.

0046 Jewel of Blood
A fine morning and the side-streets empty
then turning the corner,
in the middle of the road
a pigeon - grey-mauve, plump and feather-perfect,
one wing half-spread in flight,
sprawled sideways,
dead
and at that moment the sun shone
cruelly
on the blood that shone on the dusty road by its head,
a jewel, redder than any red,
that shone like a message
as if it were the blood of the world itself
so rich, so rich...
and I felt guilty
that I saw it so beautiful,
that jewel from the heart of a dead dove
of peace,
and thought I should suppress the thought...
and, now, that further thought which hovered in its train
that this whole world in such a jewel of blood,
more precious than a ruby, or than gold, or much fine gold,
a jewel beyond price
is what a devotee at communion or at Mass...
while cool reason
(what has reason to do with this?)
countered
well you value your own blood above most things
don't you? Why not a pigeon's?
but all words spent and poets silent and associations dropped
and thoughts at rest,
that pool of blood
in the winter sunlight that shone on the dusty street
was just so beautiful.

Killer
Brother
Sister
It's the loneliness thats the killer
So you want
To be free
To live your life
The way you want to be
Will you give
If we cry
Will we live
Or will we die
Jaded hearts
Heal with time
Shoot that love
So we can
Stop the bleeding

Is there still a part of you that wants to live
Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give

Is there still a part of you that wants to live

If we try
And live our lives
The way we wanna be

There's no other love There's no other love There's no other love
There's no other love There's no other love There's no other love
There is no love

To Love Somebody
(barry and robin gibb)
With booker t. & the mgs (1975)
Theres a light,
A certain kind a light
That never shone on me.
I want my life to be, to live with you.
To live with you.
And theres a way, evrybody says,
To do each and evry little thing.
But what does it mean
If I aint got you, if aint got you?
cause you dont know what its like
You dont know what its like
To love somebody,
To love somebody
The way I love you.
If I pray
I see your face again;
But I know not where to find
You aint got to be so blind
Im blind, so very very blind
Im a man,
Cant you see what I am?
I move heaven and earth for you
But what does this man do
If he aint got you, if he aint got you?
cause you dont know what its like, baby,
You dont know what its like
To love somebody,
To love somebody
The way I love you, I love you, I love you
cause you dont know what its like, baby,
You dont know what its like
To love somebody,
To love somebody
The way I love you, I love you, I love you, ha
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Oh baby
You dont know what its like
You never never know what its like
To love somebody,
To love somebody
The way I love you, I love you, I love you
Yeah
You never, never know what its like,
Honey
Ooh baby
I love ya, I love ya, I love ya
God almighty, I love ya
