Tears

They symbolize

Love
Happiness
Difficulty

Just one expression for all of them

Yet, a confused state of reaction

Because we cannot distinguish why they actually

Come for in a particular situation

You know what I mean right :)
Actually I had that confusion
Not sure about all others

Night,
I love you
like a bride
loving her body,
the madman
the desert,
like the horse
loves its shadow,
the sad the lighthearted,
I love you like
a wanderer his ballad,
a poet his dark room,
like the moon.

Right now, my mind...
Is the proverbial popcorn machine.

Every little thing that bothers me is
likened to a kernel.
And to make popcorn, you need lots...
Bucketloads of kernels.

Dump them all in the machine.
Let them whirl.
They sit layered on top of each other
undisturbed,
on the hot bed until...
The spindly metal arms begin to rotate...
Whose sole purpose is to agitate.

Buttered with debilitating insecurities.
Sprinkled with irrational fears.
Heated with erratic temperament.

And here come the arms again.
Rotating,
churning,
inciting.

No one knows when the kernels
are going to cave and rupture.

Then...
"Pop!" would go one.
Then another...
And another...
Soon they would all start to explode.
When that happens,
I do too.

I love popcorn.
And I don't like to share.

Sometimes there are obstacles in this race called life
that I need to overcome
Sometimes the journey is just beginning even when I feel like the race is done
Sometimes the road seems lonely
Sometimes the hills seem too steep
Sometimes I long to quit running and just want to sleep

The race is like a marathon
It is best taken one step at a time
It is best to go at my own pace
and not  by comparing myself with the other runners along the way
If I take my eyes off of the goal
I will quickly lose my place
It is good to seek encouragement displayed on the faces of friends along the way
It drives me to press forward on otherwise darkened days
I need to persevere even when the path is rough and the goal seems way too far away
This seemingly uphill battle builds strength and endurance for this long distance race
I don't have to be the best runner that there ever was
I just need to do my best to run and keep the prize in sight
when I finally cross the finish line
I hope to hear I'm glad you made it
If I'm fortunate I might even hear  Well Done
for now, I will keep running taking it one step at a time.

A band without an audience
Two thousand years of history
An amphitheater
Vesuvius still is trembling
It always echoes through time
Eternity on the run
I hear down, down. Down, down.
The star is screaming

It shares its greatest secrets
Its always us and them
And in the end
We're only ordinary men
How do you feel?
And if your head explodes with dark forboding too

From the dark side of the moon
We'll set the controls for the heart of the sun
And call to you across the sky
We end to become echoes again
Vesuvius
Still
Trembles
At the glory of our music

I
cannot help
the hands
that touch me
when they
could heal me
I know
its a distant
language
written
on my soul
I wasn't
made
to
understand
but she reads me
and I feel
her
more than
     Anything.....
                               My greatest wish
                               I couldn't say
                              is by her
                              spoken
                        ­        my greatest hope
                              is only
                              that I could
                             hold her
                            forever
                               that we'll make love
                              while we're
                             still
                             young

Love me like a new day
As in a new beginning
Filter out the heartache
Add a whole new meaning

Love me like you found me
Like there's no tomorrow
Love me with your greatest need
A love that holds no sorrow

Love me till  you come undone
Love me like a child would
When all else fails to me you run
A love never misunderstood

Love me with all that you have
A love you give and not take back
Love me with the reason
That true love need not be said

Love me like the weekend
Like the warmth of sunshine
Love me without failing
From this moment to the end of time

Let me dance for you
For I am a dancer
Let me sing to you
For I am a song
Let me arouse you
For I am a lover
Let me sleep with you
For I am a dream
Let me soothe you
For I am a healer
Let me comfort you
For I am a smile
Let me protect you
For I am a shelter
Let me show you
I could be yours

Let me
Love you
Forever

I. (Yesterday)

I  was here crying
Wanting to kiss your footprints
Washed by the sea waves

II. (Today)

I'm back to this shore
To trace your footprints once more
But they're gone away

Too many times he'd been hurt
Insecurities ruled his mind
His flaws were too visible in their eyes
But there was no door that he could find

He was locked in the cell of love
Where his eyes didn't see anymore
He relied on the beats of his heart
He knew he won't win in this kind of war

Yet he didn't regret in his choice
He accepted to be blind at all
His dream was to grow old with her
Only her beside him in every rise and fall
To the ones who love selflessly...

~~¥~~

I have made some letters
Expressed every emotion
My sentiments and longing,
My faith and hope,
My fears and doubts,
My strengths and will,
My weaknesses and flaws,
My commitment
And made them all
Into paper planes

Like you're just in the other room
I will play with these planes
And make them fly to you

~~¥~~
I saw the paper plane made by my son so I was inspired to write this...

I am a woman
And my soul breaths all
The love that I feel
And I shall I live
In every single word
In every little thing
In every harmonic sound
That is coming from you
I am the one who dreams
To see your smile
To hear your laughter
To wipe your tears
To help you carry your loads

I am a woman
And my spirit longs
To be united to yours
Like a twin flame
I could see us rise
And together we will soar high
To love's eternity
I can only promise you
A love  that will never die
But grows and grows more
As the time goes by

I am a woman
And my body craves
To be owned by you
A sacred gift of love
A priceless jewel I kept
To adorn you one day
A garland of sweet kisses
A blanket of  warm embrace
A strong shelter of love

Yes, a woman that I am
Only for you, my love
You own me, all of me
Take my all
Every inch of me
Because I am yours
A woman only for you.

~~¤~~
For all the women who truly love.
