SONG OF A VALENTINE

Life is full


Only when I live it with you.


Love is real


Only when I behold it in your eyes.


Wine intoxicates


Only when I taste it on your lips.


Fire becomes pleasure


Only when I touch it with you.


Cold begets fire


Only when you’re here with me:


When wafts of love begin to soar,


Whispering my endless love for you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A message that accompanied a hand-made card made by me on St. Valentine's Day 1995 for a very special person dear to me during my days as a student in University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. She helped me bear a lot of the weight on my shoulders.

Missing In The 1970s

Summer storms

 

Dark skies in the middle of the day

 

Rain blowing in gales across fields

 

Wind tearing at fences and telegraph poles

 

Police officers with torches, trudging through bleak countryside in boots

 

Searching — praying silently perhaps? — for the two young lovers who’d gone missing

The Odyssey

Folder: 
Love

Every tear I cried helped you sail farther away

Every breath I sighed filled your wings to fly

You mastered the wind and waves to leave me

You cried as the storms only pushed you along

 

And then You, that magnetizing, gravitating whirlpool

Leading men down to watery graves

Pulling the breath from many men's lips

And crushing them in your depths

 

It was difficult for me to lose you

I heard your siren's call

But I stuffed my ears and tied myself up

I knew you had nothing but death

 

Lastly to you, I won't say that there isn't beauty in your suffering

Only that those of us who can see it are pretty messed up

Trying desperately to find a silver lining in a thundercloud

A refreshing sea-breeze in a hurricane

 

Like the aurora borealis

Or the spritely fox-fire

You're a natural mystery

Filled with hidden meanings

 

My muses

My fates

My inspirations

I gave you all my everything

And you each of you left me wanting

Take Your Time

Folder: 
Band Lyrics
Verse 1:
Take time ‘cause time ticks
It still goes on long after we’re gone.
I cannot wait on you forever.
Take on me.
Take a chance on us.
Take your time ‘
Cause I’ll be waiting
With open arms and eyes.
Chorus:
You’re tugging at my heartstrings.
They’re coming all undone.
I can wait if you take your time.
Take me away from here.
All I want is a place
Where we can be together.
This love found me here.
Verse 2:
Take your time to figure it out
What it is that you feel.
I’ll be here waiting.
Sooner or later,
You’ll realize it should have been me.
Bridge:
Love found me here.
Until you take me on,
I don’t want to do this alone.
Take your time on us.
It’s a beautiful life
That we’ve got.
Smiling and speaking,
I thank God for you.
Author's Notes/Comments: 

It is a response song to Buddy Holly's "Take Your Time". Enjoy?!

Eternally Your's 1

Folder: 
Band Lyrics

Verse 1:
I’ve buried my life with lies
False expectations of what they want
Instead of what I want
Now, it’s time for the mask to come off.
I shall confess to you
That I love you.
I’m eternally your’s


Chorus: Eternally your’s,
Hold onto me
Let the masks off
You cannot fool me babe.
Your eyes speak of our love.
Eternally Your’s


Verse 2: You say that you fell for me

Or was it me that fell for you?

Even if I lose myself,

Would you still be there?

Even if we end up on different paths,

Would you still be there?

Eternally your’s


Bridge: You said you were hurting

And I let you go.

Listen to the sounds of my heart:

Can you hear it?

All I can tell you is:

You gotta listen.

Listen to your heart.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This song is about two lovers who still are in love with each other, but, for some reason, broke up due to the circumstances. They’ll always love each other and have love for each other but they may be better off as friends than lovers if they ended up on different paths. It’s essentially about a relationship turned into a friendship.

60 Seconds Part 1

Folder: 
Band Lyrics
Verse 1: 60 seconds is all I have/to see this through/60 seconds is a story/that is enough with you and me/Don’t you let me go
Chorus: Even if you’re hurting/know that I’ve got your back/60 seconds is all I have for our story/Help me carry on/Lead me out of darkness
Verse 2: Out into the light/I walk towards/the hesitant you/your memories of me/have become cold/I can see it in your eyes/that I am not the one for your anymore
Bridge: Give me 60 seconds of your time/It is all I need to write this story/In it, are our hot and cold moments/Both of which, you gave me
Last-Chorus: Our last goodbye was bittersweet/It tasted like the tobacco on your lips/’Cause you got me falling for you/Over and Over again/Give me 60 seconds/to write a new ending
Author's Notes/Comments: 

Song response to Kim Sung Gyu's song: "60 Seconds" (A Korean pop song with rock elements). Look up the English subtitles on YouTube.

Heartbeat

Folder: 
Band Lyrics
Verse 1:
With your heartbeat
Aligned with mine’s
Nothing can stop us now
I can feel your heartbeat
whenever we are together
Chorus:
I thought it over
I ask myself:
”Why Did I fall in love with you?”
Your heartbeat beats with mine’s
Hearts entwined, fate’s play
Let us hold onto this memory forever
Verse 2:
This is more than a dream
it’s a dream come true:
the day we met
was a hit and run
I could be in love
and I just don’t know
But you got me singing
these songs of love for you
Bridge:
This is my wonderland
A place where you and I can hide
All I want is a place
where we can be together
Your heartbeat, aligned with mine’s
there’s no stopping us now
our heartbeats as one
won’t you finally seal it with a kiss?
Author's Notes/Comments: 

“Heartbeat” symbolizes when two lovers become one or as literature have people say: “They become joined at their souls” almost like a “soulmate”. This will be a band song for my friends and I to sing to once we get the band started.

Sealed with a kiss

Sealed with a kiss

By JFarrell

 

I can’t be there now

Though I want to be

But I can take my words

Fill them with all the love I have

And send them to you

Sealed with a kiss

 

I can’t be there tomorrow

Though I want to be

But I can better myself

Change my ways, stop drinking

And every day I’m sober will be

Sealed with a kiss

 

I will be there soon,

Not anywhere near as soon as I’d like,

But, I have to get to you,

I have to tell you how amazing you are

I have to promise you all my love, and that promise will be

Sealed with a kiss.

My Lover's Touch

This is no time for romance. 

 

We've played our parts and done so beautifully, but now flowery script and greeting card banter is pushed aside for more base desire. 

 

Prowling on hands and knees towards you: a lioness stalking her inevitable prey. 

 

You love the way my full lips express my love for you without so much as a word; I adore how your fingers coax forth my innermost melody that erupts not in song

but in moans and whimpers. 

 

I'm clay in your hands, and there I want to stay forever.

 

Trace what you desire into my skin with teeth and tongue. 

Warmth and ecstasy will flow unbridled between us, the marks on your back testament to what you've done to me.

 

I am fully yours and you are mine...

 

Make me remember that tonight.
