The Scale Of Desire
My scale of desire is very long
My wishes and longings are very strong
I wish for love, peace and more
I wish everywhere there must be a store
of care, kindness and good feelings
With fairness and honesty in all dealings
I wish everywhere to see the tree
Of smile and cheers that must be free
Of the thorns and weeds of pain
That creates touchy feelings in the brain
And I wish this because I have a long
Scale of desire that is strong.

If I am strong
If I am strong.
Is it a compliment to be strong?
I think it's not that and it's wrong.
If I am strong
Do I have to ignore my feelings?
They think I am like a steel
And will survive and cope with any drilling?
If I am strong
I'll be able to overcome all those shrill feelings.
Is it really wrong to be strong?
But what should I do with my feelings?
It's so painful to be strong.
Why should I suffer all those hurts and pain?
Though I will never complain
If I am strong.
And I repeat again: If I am strong
It means I don't need help?
And love is not important to me? Oh, damn!
If I am strong
It looks so comfortable for others.
If I am strong
Should I forgive a lie?
If I am strong
There is no place of treachery in my life.
And I will never listen to falseness.
If I am strong..............................
It's so painful. Am I right?
I wouldn't like to fight
I will just say if you betray:
Get out of my way!

For The Humanity's Peace
Who knows how do we feel
We are the art lovers we breath feelings
Our strength is the love of the humanity
Our most valuable possession are our emotions
The honesty of the feelings are our wealth
We pour down our feelings upon white papers
We try to draw down our aches.others pain with colors of our emotions
An expression of a happiness or a love and the most the time about others broken smile
Because we are the most people who really care for others pain
We are the artists the peace and humanity lovers
we pour down our emotions to an empty white papers
To write down a poem
To protect others rights we forget our's
Our feelings are our values
And for humanity's peace we do care the most.

Sonnet 31
Magical man you are to me
Those things all that you do
No, I'll never ever be free
The spell you cast all is true
I long for you day and night
How I need you by my side
Wanting to hold you so tight
Can't you see it in my eyes
So I wait and wait here alone
These feelings can't be denied
Tell me where may you roam
How I desire you so inside
Helpless as a child I do feel
Your love is so strong and real

I Am
I am free.
Free from fear.
Free to be me.
Free from pain and hate.
I am loved.
Loved by those I love.
I am needed.
Needed by those I need.
I belong.
Belong with those who treat me right.
Belong with those there for me.
Belong with those I'd never forget.
I desire.
Desire a life of joys.
Desire a future bright and strong.
Desire a family to love.
It all seems so strange.
How all these connect.
And how it all starts.
With being freed.

Touch My Body
I am burning out with the desire of sweet love but,
Who will come and touch my body?
Because this feelings of love is very strong and,
I cannot control my body and longer!
For i am burning up and i need you to touch my body,
So come to me now if you are the one to help me through.
A circle is on the face of the deep and,
My love is all that you need this time around!
Because i am burning out with the desire of this sweet love,
But blessed is the one who knows these feelings of mine.

Woman's Skepticism
love, desire, passion, fire, is all the qualities that you seek
for this is what will make you complete.
the man will normally have the passion and desire
while the woman has the love and the fire.
his desires could light a stack of timber
and leave your body totally limber.
it will grow so strong, that it turns into passion
and not caring about which feelings is in fashion.
he has to quench this irresistible urge
burning every part of his being
and this is all that he is seeing.
the fire spreads throughout his brain
leaving him totally insane.
he finally realizes that this ' must be love'.
and these feelings were all brought on by you
and to his heart, he must be true.
when you finally find a man who has all these qualities
you have become so skeptical
that these qualities you do not see.
open your eyes for i am here.
let me take away that fear.
my love has become embedded so deep in my soul
that my heart it did take hold.

How Long
How long
That is the question
How long will it be
Until I finally find
The one for me
Oh how I wonder
The feelings inside
Roar like thunder
I have tried so hard
To bury these feelings
Yet they continue
To float up to the top
Of my list
So here it is
How long
Is what I am asking
Many have tried
Very few have conquered
But even them
After awhile was put asunder
How long
How long
I wonder
I want passion
Love makin that is everlastin
To have one who is strong
One that no one could shake
What a pair we would make
What a pleasure it would be
To make him feel happy to be
Apart of me
How I wait for it to become
Reality
Until then the quest
To answer the question
How long

All These Feelings
ALL THESE FEELINGS
All these feelings and their imprecise names
Joy and Sadness and Love
And Anger And Pain
And Mercy and Kindness
And Beauty and Lust
And Hunger and Sadness
And Love and Loneliness
And Anger and Peace from Pain-
Names and names
Feelings and more feelings
Life and more life
Living and feeling and not understanding
What it is
Even as it is
To the end of my days -

Just Cant Say Goodbye
Here I stand
Without an overcoat in january
Where did I go wrong
I try to smile
But my hearts a heavy load to carry
Baby, now youre gone
Maybe theres a way to stop
The rain before its falling
Maybe Im a fool to even try
But I cant say goodbye
How can I walk away
When my heart wants you to stay
And I cant tell you why
I know the feelings gone and I know I should be strong
But I just cant say goodbye
Here I go
Running after dreams and chasing rainbows
Trying to hold on to your heart
I made it through another lonely night
Just thinking of you
I long to be right where you are
Maybe theres a way to stop
The hands of time from turning
Maybe it just hurts too much to try
But I cant say goodbye
How can I walk away
When my heart wants you to stay
And I cant tell you why
I know the feelings gone and I know I should be strong
But I just cant say goodbye
Maybe theres a way to stop
The rain before its falling
Maybe Im a fool to even try
I cant say goodbye
How can I walk away
When my heart wants you to stay, oh yeah
And I cant tell you why
Yes, I know the feelings gone, and I know I should be strong
But I just cant say goodbye
No I just cant say goodbye

A smile...
A smile has beauty, a smile has charm,
You can give it freely, it will do no harm.
A smile is a frown you turn upside down,
I makes the heart happy, it spreads love around.
A smile is warm and bright like radiant sun light,
Wear it all day long until you lay down at night.
A smile is your gift to others it cannot be sold,
It can bring untold pleasure in the heart to behold.
A smile is worth nothing until you've given it away,
When you receive it your own smile lights up the day.
A smile has value worth more than heaven above,
It can fill the heart with feelings of peace and of love.
A smile is for all of us, it's actions are always true,
It creates a happy feeling, for me and for you.
A smile is the gift we can give our fellow man,
Spread the peace and love, enhance the happy plan...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

The True Meaning Of Love
La Amour...
Mapenzi...
Amore...
Love...
In every language you say,
it sounds sweet any day
Love is an emotion of strong affection and attraction
It is the intimate addiction to the one
The one you give all your heart, the one you promised never to be apart.
Love is a virtue of kindness and compassion,
it is the unselfish devotion with vows of passion
love unleashes a variety of different feelings, feelings so real it's more like healing
to a heart that has been chilling,
in the depths of the cold sea.
love is passionate, it is the closeness of being together
it is the oneness of being in love, to hold and to have
love compares to survival instincts, that keep humans together
love is less of a sexual affair,
it's more of a punishment that you endure over and again because you care.
in love, you never fall,
when you fall, it does not hurt
and when it hurts, you do not cry,
because love conquers all.
whether rich or poor, on the beach or in the shower
whether short or tall, in winter or in fall
whether blind or deaf, insecure or feeling safe
all you need is love.
love is an international language that overrides all the cultural and linguistic illusions that represent our generation
love is reciprocated, it's a mammalian drive like hunger or thirst
call it lust, call it attachment,
but i call it safety,
the security to say the words 'i love you' and feel it, to say ‘i need you' and see it.
love has taken control of my system, stimulating my brain's pleasure center
i am so in love i get side effects
when i can't eat, it's because of you
when i can't sleep, it's because of you
when my heart beats, it's because of you
when i stop to stare at another woman, it's because of you
it's because i know, she has nothing on you
the common ground for humanity, is the need and desire for love
love is timeless,
love is kind,
love and kindness are never wasted, and so is time
so trust me when i say,
I LOVE YOU

Hour Of Need
(myles goodwyn/additional lyrics by lisa blond)
Published by mfg sing sing music/socan - ascap
Shadows closin in on me
But through the darkness I can see
Your face is harder than stone
I wish I may, I wish I might
Turn this darkness into light
Im blind and yet I see, I love you
But Im a man, I must be strong
Ive let these feelings tear me apart for far too long
But in my darkest hour of need
In my darkest hour of need
Will I ever love again
Or will it always be pretend
Its my heart that needs to know
What can it be, that you and i
Cant give it one more try
But I know that that wont be, and I love you
But Im a man, I must be strong
Ive let these feelings tear me apart for far too long
And in my darkest hour of need
In my darkest hour of need

Feeling's
My face is a mask that ive worn so long
You cant get close my mask is to strong
I want to feel love but driven hate
Sin and regret will be my fate
How do I live life if no feelings are there
Stressed and angry to drained to care
I'm empty inside that's all I can feel
I want to have feelings but don't know what's real
I need to clear my head and a fresh mentality
Fill the empty hole that's causing this agony
Love and happiness I try to express
With out my mask I would be a mess
God please give me strength to fight this fear
I smile for a while but still shed a tear

If Only Wishes Were Horses, Part 3
I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish
But if you wish to wish the wish the witch wishes,
I won't wish to wish the wish you wish to wish.
I'd wish like you - like you do
and the wishes of ours would surely come true
If only wishes were horses!
I dream to dream the dream you dream to dream
But if you dream to dream the dream the dead dream,
I won't dream to dream the dream you dream to dream.
I'd dream like you - like you do
and the dreams of ours would thus come true
If only wishes were horses!
I desire to desire the desire you desire to desire,
But, if you desire to desire the desire the deer desires
I won't desire to desire the desire you desire to desire.
I'd desire like you - like you do
and our desires would really come true
If only wishes were horses!
I choose to choose the shoes you choose to choose,
But, if you choose to choose the shoes the Jews choose,
I won't choose to choose the shoes you choose to choose.
I'd walk in your shoes - your shoes of success
And then I'd have no stress,
If only wishes were horses!
I love to love the love you love to love,
But if you love to love the love the losers love
Then I won't love to love the love you love to love.
I'd love you and the world,
I'd love you more than itself the word,
If only wishes were horses!
I would, anyway, wish or dream or desire or choose or love like you do
BUT it surely would come true
If only, if only, if only wishes were horses!

Warning
Now the first day that I met ya
I was looking in the sky
When the sun turned all a blur
And the thunderclouds rolled by
The sea began to shiver
And the wind began to moan
It mustve been a sign for me
To leave you well alone
I was born without you, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
You never said you love me
And I dont believe you can
cause I saw you in a dream
And you were with another man
You looked so cool and casual
And I tried to look the same
But now Ive got to know ya
Tell me who am I to blame?
I was born without you, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
Now the whole wide world is movin
cause theres iron in my heart
I just cant keep from cryin
cause you say weve got to part
Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away
A love Ive never known
I was born without you, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong

Village Girl
Why cant you just say what’s in your heart, why must you always play another’s part hiding from the feelings you have deep in your heart, tearing apart what was so beautifully Clear, why could you not say those three little words my dear…
Now I don’t want to hurt you or cause you distress, as always I want what for you is the best, I have always had a open heart beating in my chest, honesty as always been a virtue That I love best, if I love you I tell you and I don’t mess, but if you hurt me I tell you and get it off my chest, I may be blunt but honesty always I confess…
Now many years must this go on, tell we meet and admit this thing we have going on, or we both agree its time to move on and say so long, I must admit to see you again the feeling is strong, to see your beautiful face that I have waited so long…
There has to be a better way, than this constant fighting everyday help me to find away, lets be close again if only for one day…

Yeah ah, Yeah
Yeah ah, yeah
I never wanted
I never needed anything but you
Or any dreams come true
I never wished for
I never asked for all your little games
Or all your guilted shame
Now you're acting like you just don't care
Like you could find this one anywhere
It isn't fair
My life is an open book
My feelings and my meanings
Are oceansized
Long before i ever met you
Yeah, my feelings and my meanings
Are oceansized
Long before i ever met you
So now i'm asking to what had happened
To all the words you said
Well now you want me dead
If you were made for
The thing you stayed for
All that time ago
Now you're acting like you lost a friend
Like we were only pretend
Is this the end
Cuz my life is an open book
My feelings and my meanings
Are oceansized
Long before i ever met you
Yeah, my feelings and my meanings
Are oceansized
Long before i ever met you
(long before i ever met you)
Long before i ever met you
I wanted to take back my life
Cuz i gave it all to you
I just want to make it right
So i'm waiting on you
Yeah i'm waiting on you
My feelings and my meanings
Are oceansized
Long before i ever met you
Yeah, my feelings and my meanings
Are oceansized
Long before i ever met you

Before Our Weakness Gets To Strong
What are we doing in this place alone is our desire to relive our past this strong
True love we knew in the past is gone but our weakness lingers on
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
Long ago we let the flame of love burn out of control
Now we have no reason to reach for love that has grown cold
If we live our past in the present our future will be gone
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
[ fiddle ]
Line with temptation we raced into the past
On a road too small to let the past and the present pass
Are we going too fast to turn back and leave the past alone
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
Long ago we let the flame...
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
