I have now learned
Where dwells the love
You have concerned
It all above
Resentment burned
Of hate there of
And that returned
With further love
I have now learned
What greenest grows
And what has earned
A blooming rose
It is love dear
Affectionate feel
Of one who'll care
Not break its seal
It is all there
If we try find
The feelings here
That are combined ...
Remember My Heart
Remember my heart
It is always so white
Few feelings apart
From your conducting
Daylight
True love is so perfect
In a relative way
Open and direct
And hearing what we
Both say
Red on the outside
Hot like the sun
Turning each morning
Sun lighting bright
Never departing or gone
Remember this always
Like the color of love
In your eyes
Witch sparkling amaze
With full of surprise
Each person finds
Their respect
At least if they do try
Like the heart they do
Themselves select
When feelings apply
An Outsider in Tyrants Town
We will never say good-bye
To our self even when we sleep
Our dreams are fresh and new
With clearance and in deep
The water waves we splash
Until our thoughts are quiet
We question not imagination
Nor color our canvas at night
Each window is countryside
To hills that are all in bloom
Without rimless waves flight
Our world is gray and gloom
The artist is ferment with brushes
None quiet his blossoms down
To aims and directions he ruses
He's an outsider in tyrants town
I Walk in Life The Way I am
I walk in life the way I am
Sometimes strong and sometimes weak
I have my happy hours too
Some are like those you might seek
I hope everybody finds their way
That's the purpose for being here
Different goals we might find out
Coming from distance everywhere
I walk in life with love and care
It's the way we all should do
Sorrows and joys we might share
So come and join by being you
We walk in life unperfectly
For nothing is too absolute
Take a look from inside me
There may lay your different route
I hope everybody finds their way
And joy with dreams they share
For tomorrow is another day
I hope I'll be finding you there
I've Found Sorrow and I've Found Joy
I've found sorrow and I've found joy
Both are as fresh as the water I drink
One was of taste the other a decoy
Which one is either you must now think
I've had pleasures I've had trouble
None did I seek though both did I gain
Value they gave and each they redouble
Some felt like sun the other pouring rain
Both are of life in fullest of content
Bringing yearnings and all shorts of needs
Contrasting ways some making relent
Others with joy and heart-to-heart greets
If Ever There Was a True Love
If ever there was
A true love
It was in the ways
We were taught
The gold in the words
Of our parents
They gave us the truth
They had fought
Each treasure is seen
By the few
That found love
In each true saying
To find out true
Wisdom is hard
For nothing of gold
Is here staying
If ever you
Should listen close
It's when you were
Taught about this
Give ways to a hope
And loves fulfillment
For kindness we firstly
Will miss
Wherever My Heart is Tonight
Wherever my heart is to night
I hope it will lie there still
For stars are burning so bright
Giving me hope to fulfill
When lone one day I become
I will remember this all
These yearnings then to me hum
Another day again in fall
Wherever my heart is to night
It won't be lonesome or blue
You are my only searching light
All that I see is just you
When lone one day I become
I will remember this all
These old chords back to me strum
Songs that my heart did recall
Nightly Stars Hide in The Dark
Nightly stars hide in the dark
They are glistering away their spark
Nightly stars that hide away in dark
Far away in open space
Lies the road that no one knows
Sowing light in lonely rays
On heavens high where northern light glows
Nightly stars hide in the dark
Behind the moon and clouds afar
Glistering dusty little star
For me and you when there's night
When love hits us with its might
And we don't know wrong and right
Just glowing stars and blinking light
Oh faraway my sweetest rose
That sets my fire all within
And gives me feelings as overdose
Make my longings all go spin
In this oh night of starry rays
I know not fate's turning ways
Or what my deepest mood there says
Only there're nights before there's days
Oh darling have my love within
It is the truest water to drink
Though shadows 're its mirror's twin
When fate goes another then we think
The Deep of My Ocean is Soul
The deep of my ocean is soul
The dark and clean waves that lie hidden
And full and lots of what didn't
The soul that you feel with a touch
The coldness and rapines of the new day
That reaches us deep and wide
Like a frostbitten darkish night
The leaves which are yellow and rots
The rustic and color of soul
The worlds we know still little about
And sometime we feelings doubt
Even when darkness with them plots
The rustic that's gone and is dim
With feelings of sweetness and pleasure
Each of them truth we'll treasure
As days who are gone had their lots
But love doesn't stay or abide
It goes into the unwritten night
