When the looking-mirror holds a gaze,
Reflections alive in mysterious ways.
Eyes not of glass but of living light,
Revealing secrets, both dark and bright.

In the silent chambers of reflection's view,
Whispers of truths, both old and new.
The mirror, a portal to unseen places,
Where faces stare back with enigmatic graces.

When the looking-mirror itself can see,
Past the surface, deeper it flees.
Echoes of stories it quietly holds,
Of untold wonders and secrets untold.

Eyes that watch in a wordless trance,
Catching glimpses of every fleeting chance.
They witness the joys and sorrows untamed,
In the realm of the mirror where images claimed.

Through time and space, its vision extends,
Grasping moments, making amends.
When the looking mirror bears a soul,
It echoes a tale of lives made whole.

Love, come touch my soul with your tender embrace,
In your ethereal presence, find a sacred space.
Let your gentle whispers soothe my inner toll,
Envelop my being, let your essence make me whole.

Like a soft melody playing in the night,
Your touch ignites stars and fills my spirit with light.
In the silent chambers where emotions swirl,
Love, come touch my soul, let your warmth unfurl.

Wrap me in serenity, calm my restless mind,
In your gentle caress, peace I seek to find.
Heal the wounds within, make brokenness complete,
In your gentle touch, let my spirit retreat.

Oh love, an artist painting hues divine,
In your tender embrace, let our souls entwine.
Bring solace to my heart, make my spirit feel,
In your boundless love, let my essence heal.

Love, come touch my soul, in your gentle way,
With every tender touch, fears fade away.
Restore the faith, let your pure essence extol,
Oh love, come touch my soul, make it whole.

When love does not protect the heart,
It's like a fragile vessel torn apart.
In the shadows where trust departs,
A wounded soul in love's thwart.

The armor of affection, now laid bare,
Exposing vulnerabilities to the cold, harsh air.
A heart unguarded, an open space,
Where echoes of pain find a dwelling place.

In the absence of love's gentle shield,
The wounds deepen, and emotions yield.
Yet, resilience lingers in the dark,
A spark of hope, an essential spark.

When love does not shield from the storm,
The heart weathers, battered and worn.
But in the echoes of love's lost art,
It raises the strength to restart.

For even in vulnerability, a power lies,
To heal, to mend, to again arise.
In the dance of emotions, a brand new start,
Emerges from the ashes when love does not protect the heart.

Yeah, I come from an abusive and broken home
with beer bottles, trash cans and broken glass
without chandlers hanging from the ceiling
to reflect the past
a place were there is no love dying
yeah, that is where I am from
straight from the hood on the southside
I am from the projects with the jumbo hungry ghetto rats
Even the roaches are not afraid of nothing and they carve you up with their switchblades
So, I have to cheat and steal
to get my daily bread
while on the run from dusk to dawn
man, you just hear what I said
While all my days turned black blue and red
now I carry some heat to survive on these mean streets
I had no choice but to join a gang for love and protection
Still, I am running drugs from nine to five to stay alive
Yes, I know I have to pay some dues to find the open door
So mama please pray for me to stay alive

Our love now written in the stars,
A cosmic tale that transcends all bars.
In the celestial canvas, a radiant dance,
A saga of love, an eternal romance.

Each twinkle above tells our story,
In constellations of love and glory.
The moonlight echoes our whispered vows,
As the universe witnesses our sacred drowse.

Galaxies swirl with hues so divine,
Our love's journey, an infinite line.
Written in stardust, in cosmic ink,
Our souls entwined, no need to rethink.

Planets align in harmonious grace,
Reflecting the love in our embrace.
The Milky Way weaves dreams untold,
In the language of love, pure and bold.

Meteor showers, like kisses we share,
Our love's brilliance fills the cosmic air.
In the vast expanse, where infinity starts,
Our love now written in the stars.

So, let the heavens be our eternal page,
Our love story, an ageless sage.
In the astral tapestry, where galaxies mar,
If you let me sing a few bars
Our love is forever, written in the stars.

Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, a vast expanse,
Where dreams take flight in a cosmic dance.
Above the earthly bounds, where birds freely roam,
In the canvas of the heavens, our spirits find a home.

A tapestry of blue, painted with daylight's hue,
A celestial haven, where the soul breaks through.
With every brushstroke, the sun and clouds convene,
Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, a masterpiece serene.

In daylight's embrace or the twilight's grace,
The canvas shifts, each moment a new embrace.
Stars twinkle like diamonds in the moonlit sweep,
Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, a promise to keep.

With the sun's descent, a canvas ablaze,
In hues of orange and pink, a celestial maze.
A symphony of colors, where day and night entwine,
Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, a sanctuary divine.

The moon, a silver crescent or a full, round face,
Casting its glow on the world's quiet grace.
In the stillness of night, when the world is hushed and broken,
Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, a whispered token.

So, let our prayers rise like the morning sun,
In the open sky, where day and night are spun.
In the grandeur above, where stars have spoken,
Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, our eternal token.

Oh, love, we walked into each other's gaze,
A dance of fate in life's intricate maze.
In the tapestry of time, our paths aligned,
Two souls converging, destinies entwined.

Underneath the stars, our story began,
A serendipitous encounter, a cosmic plan.
Through the twists and turns of life's grand scheme,
In each other's eyes, we found a cherished dream.

Oh, love, we walked into a shared space,
A realm where emotions find their grace.
Hand in hand, through joy and through strife,
We navigate the journey of this shared life.

In the echoes of laughter and the silence of night,
Our connection deepens, our hearts take flight.
Oh, love, a fusion of souls, beautifully spun,
In each other's arms, we've become one.

As we traverse the pathways of destiny,
Oh, love, you and I, an endless symphony.
We walked into each other, a destined art,
A timeless connection, etched in the heart.
