The ship of love where hearts sail free
The ship of love is where you want to be.
It will take you on a valentine cruise
Where no heart will ever lose.

The ship will dock at all ports of love
Where cupids will come from up above.
They’ll shoot their arrows at all who arrive
And you will find your love divine.

The ports of love are every where
On land , sea and in the air.
The ship of love is world wide bound
And you will find it all around.

So take this trip along with me
And your heart will be so free.

It was her smile that caught my heart
The smile that set her apart.
A smile so captivating
That had my heart hesitating.

Her smile like the sun rising in the east
Putting your mind completely at peace.
She had a smile that could melt butter.
Like her - there is no other.

Now she is going away - “and to where”
She would not say.
She packed up her bags and boarded the train
And my heart will never be the same.

She smiled at me once again
as the train neared the end
Yet ! As the train had pulled away
I thought I saw A teardrop in her eyes,
as if she was about to cry.

I got her friend to tell me why she had left
When she told me - it was because of a test.
All sorts of thoughts started to enter my mind
That she had cancer or was going blind.

Her friend said She had passed the military test
and wanted to surprise me with the rest.
That she agreed to marry me and we
Could live on camp rent free.

Her smile I will now see every day
And to my lord I do pray.

Even the best of the best tend to fall
When they lose their faith
They lose it all.

Not many of us will see that guiding light
That sends our hearts into flight.
They say that some are born to preach
And the word of god is easy to teach.
While there are so many others who search in vain
To help relieve the inner pain.

Many think they are better than others
Yet they call us their sisters and brothers.
        Which one has the furthest to fall?

This is when Isaac Newton s theory comes into play.
If they both weigh the same , and are dropped from the same height
They will both reach the ground at the same time.

That being the case - why would they think
That they are better than us?
“When in god “  we all put our trust..  

Whether we are the best of the best
And the cream of the crop
A base is needed to reach the top.

We know that we have an empty feeling inside
Which we find hard to describe.
A sense that something is lost
And in our sleeping hours
We turn and toss.

What is this emptiness that controls
My every thought and being
It is something that I’m not seeing.

It is a part of your body that had been taken away
And you search for it day by day.
Like a piece to a jigsaw puzzle
Which leaves it incomplete
Leaving you in total defeat.

What happened to the love that once grew so strong
And now it feels like it doesn’t belong.
What happened to the feelings of happiness and joy
And you loved it like a child with a toy.

Where is that sense of being needed
Like water to a plant, and bees to honey
Like uncle scrooge to wealth and money.

Then a thought occurred to me !
I had made space for all the other things in life,
That I had forgotten, the thing that made me complete
The love for god , with which nothing can compete.

He gives us all the feelings that we have locked up inside
And these are feelings that we must not hide.
So to my lord up above, forgive me for
Forgetting your love.

“ YOU ARE WHAT MAKES ME COMPLETE”.

I was lost in a world of my own
Traveling through the valleys of my mind
Where there was only space and no time.
A place where minds go to be free
And musicians playing in harmony.

Where voices of the best singers
Would gather around and put
Together the greatest sounds.

A place where you can be yourself
And not have to listen to anyone else.
A place where you can be lost in
the thoughts of your mind
And be there till the ends of your time
A place of imaginations and dreams
And of places seen and unseen.
Everyone no matter who they may be
Has been in this place of mystery.

We start off when we’re very young
A place that we go to have some fun.
Then as we get into our teenage years
We start to travel more and lose our fears.
We start to visualize what we would
Like to be, set our goals, and set
Our hearts and minds free.
  
Our hearts and spirit so clear and bright
Which turns our darkness into light.
All we see is the clear path ahead
Where so many before have tread.

So allow yourself to get lost in
The caverns of your mind
You’ll be amazed at what you’ll find.

Puffs of clouds covered the sky
Like my thoughts of you and I.
At times I could see and think clearly
But my mind would get weary.

Those puffs of clouds would take control
And my heart it would hold.
It’s amazing how it could be
That the clouds are like you and me.

When the clouds get dark and grey
We become defensive in every way
And the fights come into play.

And when clouds are a misty white
I want to make love to you day and night.
And when the clouds look like ripples in the sand
I want to squeeze you and hold your hand.

And when the clouds completely cover the sky
I thank god you’re by my side.

How do you describe marriage?
It’s hard to define ! And even harder
To put it into verse and rhyme.

So many descriptions and explanations
Which make it hard to choose
I guess I have to put myself into a mood.

Marriage is the joining of two hearts into one
Like when the moon meets the sun.
One welcomes the other into their heart and soul
A beauty such as this is hard to behold.

If I could one day shoot across the sky
You would be by my side.
I’d climb upon that shooting star
And our love would travel far.

People would look up to the sky
And be able to see you and I.
Our love would be spoken of in all
Corners of the world as the universal love
There can be no greater love
Than our love for each other.

For the steps of love is not hard to do
You just have to follow through,
And give each other a helping hand
And find a ground on which to stand.
And once you have accomplished this
You’ll know that you been blessed
From above -with this eternal love.
