Feel,

Love ever,

Feel my breath,

My touch, kisses,

Real!

Feel,

Love, joy, compassion,

Anger, hope, touches,

Fire, humanity,

 

Heal!

"Feel it, 

the sensation of breathing, 

with a new friend. 

Not

 

the addition, 

but the release of a union

of muscle and sinew, 

effort

 

cast to the side. 

The breath

enjoyed

with the support 

 

of the floor. 

The ground, 

the dirt below, 

thinking now

 

of feeling the green grass

in between your toes, 

the Earth, 

our Earth. 

 

Nay, she is not ours, 

we are instead Hers. 

Your breath... 

given strength by Mother Earth. 

 

Do you feel it? 

The ebb of the Earth, 

the beat, 

the ancient, encompassing embrace. 

 

Do you feel the flow

of the Ocean,

the breath of Mother Earth

made manifest?

 

Do you feel the presece

of the energy,

in this room, 

right now?

 

The energy that is still, 

the energy that links us, 

neighbor to neighbor, 

the energy of the mightiest wave

 

crashing onto the shore,

the wrath of the surf

felt as fury by the surfer

that Hell hath no. 

 

The energy of the exhausted canine

resting finally on couch

with the child who so tenderly

ran it tired. 

 

The energy when Autumn comes

when you're not quite done

kissing Summer

goodbye.

 

Do you feel the breath? 

Do you feel your mind 

spiraling all over this

whirl of whimisical words?

 

Do you feel the heart? 

Your heart? 

My heart? 

The flow of energy 

 

of the one to your left

or right? 

Us all, limited not

to labels

 

or categories, 

not by old, young, 

American, skin tone, 

the foolish boy or the sweet lady.

 

Try Human, 

Homo Sapien, 

try Earthling, 

giggling practitioner about spirit fingers. 

 

But, 

you know what? 

I do not

need to instruct, 

 

because I feel it. 

I feel you. 

I feel joy,

stress, searing pain, 

 

us joining as a whole

with our Om. 

So beautiful, 

you people. 

 

This is it. 

This is you, this is me. 

This is Mother Earth. 

I feel it.

 

And maybe you do too."

Verse 1:

Though, I meet someone new

No one can compare to you.

No matter what we do or the trials and tribulations we face,

If it's you, I can overcome anything.

 

Chorus:

No matter the distance,

Timing is everything.

You belong to me

And I to you.

 

Verse 2:
No matter if we argue,

 We'll resolve it quickly:

Agree to disagree.

You challenge me.

 

Bridge:

No matter the love,

let's keep it going.

If it's just you and me,

We can get through anything.

 

Last-Chorus:
No matter what,

I'll always love you.

'Cause you're my shooting star,

I won't let you go so easily.

 

Verse 1:
Come away with me tonight.

This heart beats so alone

Without its better half.

Babe, you're my heartbeat.

 

Chorus:

All the rhythms lead

And point to you.

Can you run into my arms?

'Cause you're worth the fight.

 

Verse 2:

I'd do anything for us.

It's worth the aches and pain.

There's no price for what

I'd go through for you.

 

Bridge:

 This heart beats so alone

Without its better half.

Perhaps, now, would you return to my side?

'Cause you are my life's memory: my heartbeat.

 

Last-Chorus:
Was it a sin to love you?

'Cause you're my posion.

This heart beats so alone

Without its better half.

For, you are my heartbeat. 

Verse 1:

Etearnally, I'm your's to keep.

Just say we're together, babe.

If I knew you were mine to keep,

I wouldn't have wasted time.

 

Chorus:

Take a chance on me.

Take a chance on us

What have we got to lose?

You're mine to keep.

 

Verse 2:

Don't be afraid of this love.

You don't have to fear this love.

Where there is love, there is peace.

I'm your's to keep.

 

Bridge:

Days go by.

I thought I heard you call out my name.

But, it was in vain.

How I long to hear you say the words: "I Love You."

 

Last-Chorus:

Are you afraid to love someone?

Do you have wounds and scars in your heart?

'Cause you've been hurt before,

I promise I won't hurt you.

For, I'm your's to keep.

 

It is what it is.

A stroke of a pen,

pixels of light,

A heart scrawl,

Screaming emotion

Or pleasant thought,

Wether it pops out

Or is coaxed,

from the ether of consciousness 

a soul's awaking yawn 

It is what is

and lives as it is born

Tinkered and toyed with

all manner of distortions borne

It sits in its reality

 a nieche of existence

A poem waiting to be heard and judged worthy

because it speaks to a another soul.

It is what is

not a jot or itoa more

I want you to want me for who I am

And for you I'll do the same

I want to make you shine brighter then a gem

So you understand I don't want to play this mind game

 

I want a chance to make you forget your past

I give you my word I won't break your heart

I want us to build something special that'll last

Promise if I agree to be good friends 

Nothing will tare us apart

 

This is the next to hardest thing to do 

The way I actually feel

Nobody ever really knew

My heart the guys always steal

The next day you talk to them about me 

They'd say "who"

It's like my feelings weren't a big deal

I wish no more of being down and blue

It is taking me so long to heal

 

God could it really be

That this time I found the perfect one

I guess we will both will have to wait and see

Your heart I hope I won

I yearn to love, a love with a passion

Joining hearts, a fatal attraction

To be fondled by your words alone, holding on to promises by your lips

To savor the sweetness and emotion that drips

Let us hold together, let our eyes slowly find and meet

Let all time stop, with nothing but our heartbeats
