"Amor Vincit Omnia"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't Plan A Kiss"
Don't plan a kiss
the reason is this
time is important in what makes bliss
not a second too early...
not a second too late
it makes all the difference in love and hate
but what is a kiss
when love takes a shift
both must be willing
to give as a gift
for love is love
and time is time
like sun to a tree
and wind to a chime
without love, a kiss has no feel
without time, a kiss is a steal
you can never be sure
of what you might miss
but it is best not to force
your time on a kiss
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"God's Presence"
If my path be smooth or rugged
If with thorns or roses strewn
Where I go the father seeith
And He will leave me not alone
If I take the wings of mourning
Far within the silent sea
Even there His hand will lead me
Even there my God will be
If my thoughts are good or evil
Set me think to hide then not
There is one above all seeing
And he beholdeth every thought
And ever more my eyes behold me
And all my ways to Him are known
And His loving arms enfolds me
He will leve me not alone
Shannon Noon's favorite.

~Love~
Cover me with your creative mind.
Shower me with your sensual hands.
Move with me, as the world looks so much, brighter
When we hold each other,
Breathe life into me as you caress
My body with your warm heart
Warm my cold heart.
Be still,
Let me feel your heart
As I know the lovely rhythmic beating anyway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"from the moment"
from the moment i saw you
i felt tears in my eyes
from the moment i kissed you
i knew you'd be mine
from the moment i heard your voice be true
i had been sweaped away
from the moment i spoke to you
i wished you'd come my way one day
from the moment i looked in your eyes
i became so fantasized
from that moment i knew everything is fine
im in love and its a rollercoaster ride
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The World Through My Eyes"
It's six o'clock, I turn on the evening news
Just another story 'bout a woman and her childern being abused
Every where I turn, I know I'm gonna see
People pointing their fingers, shouting don't blame me
All the faith and trust ain't nothing but lies
In the world through my eyes
Those who unfortunately paid the price
Are now calling the streets paradise
They wander the streets of the unforgiving city
People walk on by, showing 'em no pity
You can feel the sadness and hear their cries
In the world through my eyes
Day after day, hour after hour
Somewhere there's an abuse of power
Doesn't matter whether it's morning, noon, or night
If it's not done their way, then it ain't done right
Would love to cut them down to size
And show 'em the world through my eyes
I find it difficult to take a nap
When the world we live in is so full of crap
We bitch and moan about all that's done
Leaving us no time for leisure or fun
If you can't stand what I despise
Then ya ain't seein' the world through my eyes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm Sorry For Loving You"
Yes, we are incredible friends
and our conversations are deep
but in your mind it stops there
whereas mine just takes a leap
I can't stop thinking about you
you won't just fade away
I'm saturated in love
but these things I cannot say
because if you knew the truth
of this love for you in me
you would think that all this time
all I wanted was to be
a plain and simple boyfriend
no different from the last
but I know I love you more
than anyone in my past
it is such a tough time for me
when I want to hold your hand
and I struggle to hold back
because you wouldn't understand
your feelings for me seem limited
as mine are infinitely true
to the fact you'll never love me
the way that I love you
I'm sorry for loving you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Society's Mines"
lost youth
learns not from anyone
question everything
and walks every run
for who is to care
about time they won't see
how the world will turn
and who our children will be
I am one of them
ignoring the signs
walking in the fields
of society's mines
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Kiss away my blue"
I want to kiss you
it's all I miss of you
to hold you in my arms--
worth a million lucky charms
just one kiss
would put me in bliss
of a love so true
only me and you
--please don't be afraid--
my dues I have paid
no clearer could it be
open up to me
be not in denial
just close your eyes and smile
and when our lips meet--
I feel a love so sweet
because I've long awaited your touch
and I love you so very much
for only when I dream at night
does the kiss not seem right
it needs to be real--
something I can feel
you can make dream come true
and kiss away my blue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"NOTHING LASTS FOREVER"
Someone once said that
nothing lasts forever,
I laughed to myself thinking
they weren't very clever.
Because true love is a deep
and lasting thing,
I knew our love would last forever,
confidence only true love could bring.
So I went home to tell my lover
of the fool I had met that day,
but when I got there, I saw that my
one true love had gone away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"LIFE, THE NEVER ENDING PLAY"
I walk the streets of life, finding them
so desperately lonely and cold.
The days go by quickly now, and memories
are becoming hard to hold.
Why must I continue my part in
this never ending play?
I wish I could just close my eyes at night
and forever remain that way.
Instead, I find myself smiling
and laughing on cue,
and as each day passes, it becomes
harder and harder to do.
I look forward to the moment when I
can finally leave the stage,
and step into that peaceful darkness
leaving behind my hidden rage.
A little voice inside my head promises
"it won't be long now"
So I eagerly wait for my turn to
step forward and take the final bow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I saw you,
I met you.
When I met You,
I liked you.
When I liked you,
I loved you.
Whne I loved you,
I lost you.
When I lost you,
I died.
Whne I died, I realized
you Loved me too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can't let you go"
The finest year I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
I would give anything i own,
My life, my heart, my home
I would give anything I own
Just to have you back again.
You taught me how to love
And even what it's of.
You never said to much
But still you showed the way,
And I know from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The Part of me
That can't let you go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
17 Seconds of Compassion
17 Seconds of Peace
17 Seconds to remember love is the energy behind which all is created
17 seconds seconds to forget all your hurt and pain
17 seconds of faith
17 seconds to trust you again
17 seconds of radiance
17 seconds to send a prayer up
17 Seconds is all you need
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This body holding me
reminds me of my own mortality.
Emvrace this moment.
Remember, we are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They say highs chool is tough, i Think it is fun. It's where we make lifelong friends. Where we meet our first lovers. It's a whole little place of its own. A place where we learn not only equations and formulas, but about the bigger pictue. About life and the world we live in. And the people who live in it. In high school, were exposed to all kinds of races and backgrounds. We recognize what makes each of us different. And with open minds, accept and appreciate that which makes each of us unique.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Creep"
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world.
I wish I was special
Your so f*ckin special
But i'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell and I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when i'm not around.

"You should let kids figure it out for themselves, they will get f*cked up, drop out of school and cath an std" - David Grohl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
Thats why it's called a present
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A week is a month and an hour a day
when your reaching just pushes it further away
when your pasta dn your future precisely divide
am i at that moment?
I can't decide.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do not wish to be everthing to everyone, but i do wish to be something to someone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No guy is worth your tears
and when you find one who is,
he won't make you cry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draw a circle around the one you love
not a heart
because a heart can break,
but a circle goes on forever
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~All our lives we search for someone to love,
Someone wo make us complete.
We choose partners and change partners.
We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope,
All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow,
Someone perfect is searching for us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Beautiful"
And I know
And I feel
That you could learn to love just like me
And I know
And I feel
That I can learn to hate just like you
Because your so beatutiful
Your beautiful today
Your so Beautifuk
Beautiful in every little way
-Flickerstick-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After years of waiting.
Nothing Came.
As your life flashed before your eyes.
You Realize.
You were looking in the wrong place.
I'm a reasonable person.
Get off My case!
