The Inpatience of a broken heart
In these times of sadness I wait for the warmth of the rich summer sun
I sit, I lay, I ponder
I failed to protect my heart; now it aches and wails
This pain within me must end, it must go
To many nights I have spent alone with my thoughts
I sit and wait for the warmth to enrich me, I am so very cold, so very alone
I feel as if concrete surrounds me; concrete that cannot be broken
Unless another heart were to give itself to me
Another heart to protect mine, to join as one, to start anew
To be fixed without the love of another seems unimaginable
Poets we cry, we cry, we cry
How else would we explain to others that we would rather die

my Heart
My heart oh my heart cried in the night solitude.
My heart oh my heart kept yearning very much in.
My heart oh my heart mourned the sadness in the middle of the uproar.
My heart oh my heart lose the warmth.
My heart oh my heart was engaged with the tears.
Heart oh heart could you breathe without the love?
Heart oh heart how did you overflow pain?
Would the heart bury personally the heart wound?
My heart oh my heart ran pursued darkness.
My heart oh my heart persuaded the love in the thoughts.
My heart oh my heart beckoned about the uproar.
My heart oh my heart dripped on the flowers with the tears.
My heart was your heart.
When you will come touched?
When you will smear my heart with warmth?
When you came and enchanted me?
Trust My Heart To You
I'm going to trust my heart to you
To heal the wounds that may lay
I'm giving you this fragile heart to protect
Then all my fears shall melt away
Take this lonely heart, wrap it in warmth
Make sure it never cries, within your care
It will beat it's lovely melody just for you
The melody growing every moment you share
I'm letting you have this heart of mine
To teach me the true magic of love
I'm handing you my one and only heart
Then my sadness, I shall rise above
Here is my heart, cherish it with love
Let it thrive and beat along with your own heart
They'll beat as one, as to beat forever
Being together, mine will not break apart
I'm trusting my heart to be with you
To remind that our love will always last
I'm sending you this loving heart to love
Then all our problems will perish to the past

Funny Old Heart
The heart is such a funny thing
So many things can pull its strings
Young at heart we fall in love
And gets broken when they have had enough
The pain when someone’s past away
That really broke my heart that day
To think that someone close has gone
But your heart it keeps beating on
The joy it feels when your babes born
And the life it brings keeps you warm
Your heart its heart beat as one
You love and protect that ray of sun
The sadness you feel when disaster strikes
No matter were in the world those plights
In a heart beat you feel the pain
If there a god this is just insane
Your heart is pounding in your chest
When it’s full of Christmas festiveness
Waiting for that Christmas morn
Wide eyed Children eyes all glazed
Standing there just amazed
That final day will come to you
When your heart stops beating too
Have no fear you will go to rest
And join the spirits of happiness

Concrete & Steel
Hard and cold, like a street of gold,
Its easy to find but so hard to hold.
Smooth and strong but it wont last long,
When the rust sets in, shell be good as gone!
Concrete, concrete and steel.
Its like concrete.
Hey baby, whats the deal?
A heart of stone make you feel alone,
But what can you do when your hand is blown?
Hard as ice, its like tumblin dice,
Before you fall for her boy, you better think twice.
Concrete, concrete and steel.
Its like concrete.
Hey baby, whats the deal?
Dark as night, diamond bright,
Never seen such a strange delight.
Slick as glass, and just as fast,
Youll feel the pain, but it wont last.

What You Already Own
I give you my heart broken and bruised
It's still beating strong and wanting to trust you
I know I'm unfaithful
I know I do wrong
Do you protect what you already own?
I give you my body
Naked and meek
Burning with passion
Human and weak
What You Already Own
...as sung by Amy Grant
I try to be faithful
then I go wrong
Can you protect what you already own?
Can you protect what you already own?
I know I'm unfaithful
I know I do wrong
Do you protect what you already own?
I give you my life
Precious and rare
Knowing wherever I've been, you were there
Sometimes I'm faithful
Sometimes I'm strong
Will you protect what you already own?
I will be faithful
Help me be strong
'Cause you will protect what you already own
You still protect what you already own

My Heart at Your Heart
My heart takes a tour at your heart.
Its beat of yours plays dear to mine,
That the warmth it shows did impart
Intimacy that comes so fine,
Thrusting my heart's brightness to start
Glorious harmony to shine.
How your heart thrills mine like an art
With a taste that is so divine.
That is why my heart had to chart
Course, with poise that love did design,
Towards your heart that had mine cart
Your heart's softness what mine did pine.

Entwine
Ah, yes play your beautiful ballad my singing bird...
fill me with foreboding in a sea of evergreen,
let your song reach the inner core of my sadness.
Brake away from the pain
swallowed up by the raging sea,
feel the rhythm of my hypnotizing tune.
The strong love it emits...
Entwine your soul with mine
press your body against my warmth,
feel the embrace of it all.
I give my self to you so completely
so forget about your sorrows,
drown them in mine.
I will make all things better now
I will protect you from the world,
I shall be your sanctuary...
We shall sway in the anemone seas...
For you my love,
only for you.

Cast Not My Heart Asunder
Let not my heart be cast into the
Wind
Where your heart cannot follow
Nor see
Or feel my touch
Let your heart find the warmth of
My heart
Stay
Nestle in the warmth of my heart
So
Don’t throw my heart asunder
Let my heart be shelter
Within your embrace..

An African Mother Advice
Tonight witches shall gather
Soon the sun will go to bed
Ndubisi my son come home
Come lay in your mother's arm
Let my love protect you
Under my bosom you will dwell
Till dawn in my warmth
Come my son
The moon is full tonight
Let me tell you stories
The morals you must hold
Close to your heart all your life
Let them guide your thoughts
Leading you through life's path
My son
You're a prince
Like an ant be wise
Let your judgment be sound
Let your heart be filled with mercy
Give alms to the poor
Give food to the hungry
Son
Fear the woman
Her love is sweet
Her heart is dark
Keep your strength
For the love you shall find
And you shall be fruitful
My dear son
I have watched you grow
Your temper is quick
I fear it would destroy you
Hold it in check
Say but a few words
Let them be your bonds
My son
Your are my strength
Do not forget me when am old
Remember the breast that fed you
Let my old bones cling unto you
Let my dry skin feel your warmth
My son soon
I will be gone from here
Uphold your father's name
Let not his legacies die
Do me proud in your deeds
From the spirit land I will smile
For even in death I will watch you

Concrete Mind
Can I get a pass, from my wrongs?
Will you make me not forget?
Are you like a concrete mind,
That's permanently set?
Concrete mind won't wear out.
For when she has a crack.
She only fills in where it's split.
Your wrongs she'll always track.
I thought I would be honest
Lead a new way of life
To concrete mind this is a weapon
She'll use just like a knife
She'll just use it against you
You'll never live it down
Her life is like a circus
And you're the lonely clown
And when you try to fix
The things that have been broken
Concrete mind will take your wrongs
And use them like a token
Where did I go wrong you'll ask
In each and every way
So if you trip and stumble
Concrete mind will say:
“Go straight to jail,
Do not pass go
Be ashamed
You are so low
Just like scum,
You always rise
All of your truths
To me their lies
You past is now
You'll never change
Forgiveness a word
I find so strange
I will forgive
But not forget
My heart is hard
My mind is set
Show you mercy?
Show you grace?
Go find those things
Another place.
All you give.
I'll simply take.
I'll do this till,
Your will I break”
Concrete mind
Will you soften a bit?
I've tried so hard,
But I want to quit.
Like one step forward
And Ten steps back
You throw me a rope
Without any slack
Concrete mind
Can't you see
From your concrete prison
I can't break free
So concrete mind
I ask one last time
Will I ever pay the price
For my past crimes
Your concrete heart
Your concrete mind
Won't let me leave
My past behind

Butterfly...
The grey concrete surrounded me as that of a dreary day
The metal collarge of buses, encircling me..
whilst exposing the shyness of colour
to the dullness of the scene
How hard the colour tried..yet the grey consumed it without effort
I sat, whilst the fumes danced unashamedly
around the concrete path before me
But I could only see the huge metal conterie in front of me..
vibrating in tune to the fumes that swirled from it..
As my ears were full of song..
'You give me butterflies..'
..my heart sang to You as my eyes,
almost filled with tears..
looked upon the lugubroius scene before me..
'You give me butterflies..'
My heart sang even louder..
as the fumes enveloped me..
But wait!
What is this I see amidst the concrete collarge..
What is this precious gem..
struggling through the choking fumes..
through the grey of this cold, somber calamity?
You filled me up with joy hardly contained
when, through all..
there...
A pure white butterfly decended..
and as I held out my hand..
rested in my palm..
Oh my heart..........

Into a Fountain of Pain
She can just touch
The warmth of his skin
She can just see
His tears cascade
Into a fountain of pain
His warmth is what she yearns for
His love is what she holds close to her heart
Then in one final attempt to feel his love once more
She brushes her hand softly against his cheek
Then kisses him softly as she fly's to heaven keep
Enveloping him in love so he remembers her in dreams
Farewell sweet love I will wait for thee above
Then fly's to heavens gate to await her one true love

It's Time For You Escape
in concrete houses
in concrete silence
nobody can not hear
your call
concrete houses are
sinking more than once
in the wine
when the clocks
are hitting
at the morning hour
concrete hearts
being getting cold
are slowly undergoing
the life
although it this way aches
escape ahead of yourself
nobody will catch up
with you
and even behind you
nobody will dropp tear
you will rescue yourself
escape - already time

When That Moment Comes
My ears,
At times...
Hear far too much.
My eyes uncover,
Wants...
I long to touch.
My lips stay shut,
And closed.
With emotions frozen within me.
Denying my own needs,
I wish I couldn't do.
But yet I do that too well.
My hands,
Reach to be held.
When I'm alone and seeking.
There is a secret place,
Inside that has this fear.
Who will protect it.
And not reject it.
If I choose to give my heart.
Who will protect it.
And not reject it.
When that moment comes,
To share my heart.
Who will protect?
Accept without neglecting.
And who is there,
To share...
My heart.

The Moon
The moon looks so nice right now. By mistake the ash of cigarette dropped on my finger and it burnt. I tolerated the pain because it made me think of you even more. The pain just refreshed your memory even more. Come closer to me because right now I feel like loving you so much. Always wanted to love you and feel you with all the warmth of my heart. My heart is truly going crazy for you. Want you with the depth of my heart. To make you mine, I truly wish to. Love you, truly do love you.

A New Love
(dave loggins)
Loves the only thing I know in this life
Thats cut me deeper than the sharpest knife
And once again here I am and Im paying the price for a new love
I still hurt the one I lost
Standing here on a bridge that I cant get across
And I cant burn but I will when I walk with a new love
Chorus:
I believe
Its gonna be better then ever before
Thats why Im looking for
A new love
For this old heart
A new love
And I just cant wait to start
I wanna feel that way again
Oh when I find a new love
For this old heart of mine
Say Im looking for a new love
Somebody tell me where I find a new love
For this old heart of mine
Loves the only thing thats ever made me cry
Nothings ever made me feel more alive
Thats why once again here I am
Looking for the eyes of a new love
I know that somewhere in this world tonight
Theres a guy (she goes high on this part and I have no clue what she
Says)
Id even look if I thought I might find a new love
Repeat chorus x2
Oh Im looking for a new love
For this old heart of mine
Oh Im looking for a new love
For this old heart of mine
Say I need a new love
For this old heart of mine
Oh Im looking for a new love
Somebody tell me where Ill find
For this old heart of mine

This Old Heart Of Mine
Ooh, this old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away I think you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by,
You've got me never knowin' if I'm comin' or goin' but I
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
These old arms of mine miss having you around
Make these tears inside start falling down
Always with half a kiss, you remind me of what I miss
Though I try to control myself
Like a fool I start grinnin' 'cause my head starts spinnin' 'cause I
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
I try hard to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keeps me cryin'
The way you're treatin' me leaves me incomplete
You're here for the day, gone for the week
But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it, tell the world about it 'cause I
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you

Look Of Love
The look of love is in your eyes,
A look, your heart cant disguise,
The look of love,
Its saying so much more than just words could ever say,
And what my heart has hurt, well, it takes my breath away.
I can hardly wait to hold you,
Feel my arms around you,
How long I have waited,
Waited just to love you,
Now that I have found you.
Youve got the look of love,
Its on your face,
A look, that time cant erase,
Be mine tonight,
Let this be just a start of so many nights like this,
Lets take a lovers vow,
and then seal it with a kiss.
I can hardly wait to hold you,
Feel my arms around you,
How long I have waited,
Waited just to love you,
Now that I have found you.
I can hardly wait to hold you,
etc.
Dont ever go,
Dont ever go,
I love you so.

No warning
My love withstands the pain of time
You hold with you a love that’s mine
To show you my world I have no fear
But to live a life without you, cant replace the feel when your near
Life has little warning for what lies beyond
The heart of a child or the sound of a gun
The feel of your skin, or your touch on my face
The warmth of your body, under my hand where I place
The feel of you lips as they start to touch mine
Or your hands as they move down my spine
The love in my heart wants me to share
The feeling I get when you are there.

Black Gypsy
(Emmylou Harris)
Broken bottles, broken songs
Broken people been in town too long
Where's everyone gone
Ooh, baby this city gonna break your heart
Oh, gipsy please tell me
Where everyone's gone
Never had a second name
Never spoke of why we came
Fellowship and Gloriousness
The loneliness of pain
Sitting in the rain
Why is the soul of me
Where is my heart
Where is the part of me
That I would give to you
If kindness were my style
Where is the soul of me
Where is my heart
In my own time
Better leave it behind
In a thousand bottles of wine
Oh, precious plans of standing strong
Why is life taking so long
I would tell you everything
If I only had the words to explain
Don't know nothing but the rain
Why is the soul of me
Where is my heart
Where is the part of me
That I would give to you
If kindness were my style
Where is the tenderness
Where is the warmth
In my own soul
That I let it grow old
Oh, it's getting so cold
Broken bottles, broken songs
Broken faces been in town too long
Where has everyone gone
Oh, baby this city gonna break your heart
Oh, gipsy please tell me
Where everyone's gone
Oh, gipsy please tell me
Where everyone's gone
Where everyone's gone
Where everyone's gone
