What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind, painting your mind and playing joker
Too frightening to listen to a stranger, too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You’re waiting for someone to understand you
But you’ve got demons in your closet and you’re screaming out to stop it
Saying life’s begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you, grab on to what you scramble for
Don’t let the tears linger on inside now, cause it’s sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you, If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost, to get your heart back on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I, as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?
Too frightening - the fires are getting colder,
Too beautiful - to think you’re getting older
You’re looking for someone to give an answer
But what you see is just illusion, you’re surrounded by confusion
Saying life has begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for, don’t let the tears linger on inside now
Cause it’s sure time you gained control!
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost, to get your heart back on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
Cause you know I wanna know you! I wanna know you! Well let me know you!
Please let me know you, please let me know you
I wanna feel you, I wanna touch you, please let me near you
Can you hear what I’m saying?
Well I’m hoping, I’m dreaming, I’m praying,
I know what you’re thinking, see what you’re seeing, never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down, why do you hold yourself down ?
Why don’t you listen, you can trust me,
There’s a place I know the way to a place
There is need to feel you, feel that you’re alone
Can you hear me, I know exactly what you’re feeling
Cause all your troubles are within you
So begin to see that I’m just bleeding too
Love me, love you, loving is the way to help me, help you
Why must we be so cool, oh so cool?
Oh, we’re such damn fools...
(Supertramp / Crime of the Century)
So sweet the hour, so calm the time,
I feel it more than half a crime,
When Nature sleeps and stars are mute,
To mar the silence ev'n with lute.
At rest on ocean's brilliant dyes
An image of Elysium lies
Seven Pleiades entranced in Heaven,
Form in the deep another seven:
Endymion nodding from above
Sees in the sea a second love.
Within the valleys dim and brown,
And on the spectral mountain's crown,
The wearied light is dying down,
And earth, and stars, and sea, and sky
Are redolent of sleep, as I
Am redolent of thee and thine
Enthralling love, my Adeline.
But list, O list, so soft and low
Thy lover's voice tonight shall flow,
That, scarce awake, thy soul shall deem
My words the music of a dream.
Thus, while no single sound too rude
Upon thy slumber shall intrude,
Our thoughts, our souls O God above!
In every deed shall mingle, love.
Romance, who loves to nod and sing,
With drowsy head and folded wing,
Among the green leaves as they shake
Far down within some shadowy lake,
To me a painted paroquet
Hath been a most familiar bird
Taught me my alphabet to say
To lisp my very earliest word
While in the wild wood I did lie,
A child- with a most knowing eye.
Of late, eternal Condor years
So shake the very Heaven on high
With tumult as they thunder by,
I have no time for idle cares
Through gazing on the unquiet sky.
And when an hour with calmer wings
Its down upon my spirit flings
That little time with lyre and rhyme
To while away- forbidden things !
My heart would feel to be a crime
Unless it trembled with the strings.
Eldorado
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search for Eldorado.
But he grew old –
This knight so bold –
And o’er his heart a shadow
Fell, as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado
And, as his strength
Failed at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow –
“Shadow,” said he ,
“Where can it be, -
This land of Eldorado?”
“Over the Mountains
Of the moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride , boldly ride,”
The shade replied,
“If you seek for Eldorado!”
- Edgar Allan Poe

Love is enough: though the world be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the skies be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder,
And this day draw a veil over all deeds passed over,
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter:
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the skies be too dark for dim eyes to discover

Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter:
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

They stretched in never-ending line

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

And dances with the daffodils.
this is my favourite love poem, please read, it's beautiful ...

Love's Philosophy
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle;--
Why not I with thine?
See! the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven,
If it disdained it's brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
(1803-1882)

Only in my dreams
You're missing, but you're always
a heartbeat from me
I'm lost now without you
I don't know where you are
I keep watching
I keep hoping
but time keeps us apart
Is there a way I can find you?
Is there a sign I should know?
Is there a road I could follow
to bring you back home?
Winter lies before me
Now you're so far away
In the darkness of my dreaming
The light of you will stay
If I could be close beside you
If I could be where you are
If I could reach out and touch you
And bring you back home
Is there a way I can find you?
Is there a sign I should know?
Is there a road I could follow
to bring you back home?
To me...

dime over time
but if i speak the truth, it will be a crime
and if you are feeling my rhymes than it would vanish like dust and my words would move faster
than the rush and im tired of people
creeping up i feel that i had enough of life and stress.
I speak these words so that i could get this pain off my cheast.
I speak these words so that it could get the pain
off everybody cheast.
This is for the people who have stress everyday.
stress & pain
timeless master of the treasures it buries and of the destiny of all the life it protects and massacres in its chaos.
the sand. dust of times.
discreet accomplice of silent births and deaths of billions of shells and skeletons.
the sun and its moon. lascivious in their clouds and their aurora borealis.
the rocks. the indestructible soldiers. the guardian angels.
me. am one of them. joined the band. so much isolating and yet comforting,
the sky may spit it its poison, whip it and tear it all up of its anger,
it’s always there, proud to be strong, faithful and true.
this is where it all began, where it’s being loved, where it hurts and where it will die.

Hands at the two and nine
Behind a wheel for almost four
Road stretched, not looking back
Behind her eyes
Leaving the trouble
Forgetting the noise
Regretting nothing
In her mind
She still aware of the risk
Having been broken all the time
The wish is still warm
Like the west
Ahead is her world
Waiting to be traced
Not only just summoned
But sugar kissed
Sailing on waves of black
Toward a sign of new
Never more in cold
Towards sun drenched solace
She hopes
After even frailness
Not wanting to be broken
In Sac Town
Her Will and will waits

All the wonders love can bring
Give us strength and understanding
Give us all one song to sing!
Let the music play
Play it loud and make it clear
It's time to stand up to a new world
That is now so near
From the bottom to the top
To the leaders of the land
We all have one heart
Everyone of us must lend a hand!
And let there be joy in the world
And let there be no sorrow
And let there be peace on earth
For all the worlds we've got to see
That love, oh love, what a blessed thing
Say it loud, make it clear today!
All the walls are falling down
No more children off to war
If we search in our hearts
All the suffering will be no more
And let there be joy in the world
And let there be no sorrow
And let there be peace on earth
For all God's children
Let them see!

In a world of his
she unloads his gun
She and he waits for this
he releases his love
In blue and green orbs
she gives him more and more
A million miles away
A million years girl
In a black woven chest
he digs his nails deep
She trusts in him for what he does
live in a house in the suburbs
He kisses the pain with blood and light
sleeping it off in the morning
A million miles away
A million years girl
In her world of his
she unloads his gun
In a world of his
she covers the sun
A million miles away
A million years
A million years girl
she unloads his gun
She and he waits for this
he releases his love
In blue and green orbs
she gives him more and more
A million miles away

she unloads his gun
In a world of his
she covers the sun
A million miles away
A million years

My sweetness, how your soul has been hurting.
My angel, how long have you been waiting?
My world, slowly crumbling to nothingness.
My loves, how long until we meet?
This pain in my chest is swelling.
I wish it would give in.
My patience, like a thread.
I wish would snap.
Our hearts, beating, I can't hear.
I wish would deafen me.
All your attempts, I could never feel.
I wish would cave in on me.
All voices.
Never to be tasted.
Never to be invited.
Never to be told.
All there is, is loneliness.
Aching in my bones.
Forever more, trying to grasp a cold wind
And make it warm.

Forget the memories
Good and bad
Put away the hope
That flew away
In your own soaked dust
Freeze in solitude
Break under pressure
Fracture and waste away
Get stomped on under the heaviness
Decorate the millions of pieces
Like you're solid
Hide behind a sunken chest
Wither away in the stillness
When no laughter is heard in your chamber
No warmth is encased
When love is no longer protecting
Wash away in the seas of icy tears
Be suffocated when the air is no longer there
Just stop
Just stop beating
