Life is fine

by Langston Hughes




I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so cold
I might've sunk and died.
But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!

I took the elevator
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down.

I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn't a-been so high
I might've jumped and died.

But it was High up there! It was high!

So since I'm still here livin',
I guess I will live on.
I could've died for love--
But for livin' I was born

Though you may hear me holler,
And you may see me cry--
I'll be dogged, sweet baby,
If you gonna see me die.
Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

Because Of You

Because of you
my world is now whole,
Because of you
love lives in my soul.
Because of you
I have laughter in my eyes,
Because of you
I am no longer afraid of good-byes.
You are my pillar
my stone of strength,
With me through all seasons
and great times of length.
My love for you is pure
boundless through space and time,
it grows stronger everyday
with the knowledge that you'll always be mine.
At the altar
I will joyously say 'I do',
for I have it all now
and it's all because of you.

Show me

You know I love you dearly
but I cause you so much pain
I cannot find true happiness
and you feel you are to blame
it seems so unjust
for me to make you feel this way
it's so hard to decide
whether I should leave or stay
staying is not wise
as faking happiness is exhausting
leaving's a bit worse
for your heartbreak I would be causing
so show me what to do
help me to be strong
lend a helping hand
give me your shoulder to cry on.

Secret Love

     Secret Love

In a dark mid-night

We met together

In the valley of secret love.

With a crazy madness

Fountain of feelings dropped

Brought Rhythm of life

In your  dry desert.

YOU

Author: Nichole Hall

When I close my eyes     
To sleep at night 
It's you I see 
Holding me tight. 

Your arms so strong 
You make me feel safe 
The only thing wrong 
Someone else has your place. 

I know it is wrong 
To be dreaming of you 
But my heart just can't stop 
These feelings so true. 

The timing was wrong 
I met you too late 
A promise was made 
To determine my fate. 

Why weren't you there 
When I had the chance 
I will always regret 
Not getting this dance. 

And so for now 
I will settle for two 
But in my heart 
It will always be you. 

ON DREAMS OF PERFECT LOVE

Author: David Ruble

A misty sunrise fills the east
With yellow, gold and red.
The bowl of space a palest blue,
Sheds light upon our bed.
The warmth beside my soul, a feast
Of love for only you.
So let the birds, with song, remain
Within the morning hours,
To pour upon the crisp, new day
A hope, like cleansing showers.
For you I send refreshing rain
To wash the past away.
A quiet breeze so warm and slow,
Has drifted ‘cross my face.
It brings the scents from flower climbs,
And leaves without a trace.
It stirred this battered heart, you know,
To love this perfect time.
Like whispers lost at sea, we soar
Beyond the sky of fire.
Together. Lost together, free
To claim our each desire.
Like leaves we float to earth, once more
To close our eyes and be.

Only In Dream

Author: Roy Orbison

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper
Go to sleep, everything is all right.

I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream of you.

In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk with you
In dreams you're mine all the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams.

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, 
I can't help it if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye.

Too bad it only seems
It only happens in my dreams
Only in dreams
In my beautiful dreams.

My Love Is Where You Are

Author: Paul D. Medway

If I could catch a million stars,
I know just what I'd do,
I'd arrange them on a paper,
And sing them back to you.  

If I could give you gifts of gold,
I'd have each one inscribed,
With a special memory,
That I hold, dear, inside.

I'd give you everything you'd want,
Or you could ever need,
But that would never measure,
All you've given me.

With honesty and compassion,
You lend a tender ear.
And when I look into your eyes,
My troubles disappear.


But, I am not a rich man,
Nor lucky enough to catch a star,
I can only give you one thing...
All that's in my heart.

My Love

Author: Catlin L. Crawford

My love, oh how I long for you
In your arms I ache to be
Without you my heart would stop
For it beats for only thee

It beats for only thee my love
You inspire it to thrive
You have given life to me my love
And made me come alive

Alive, I am for you my love
Every breath takes you in
My heart beats strong for you my love
Then it stops and beats again

It stops for only moments
To pace itself a while
For it's racing fast for you my love
In a moment it's raced a mile

I Love You, oh my dearest love
I love you more each day
Never once shall you ask to hear it
For each chance 'I love you' I'll say

I love you again and again
I love you with all my heart
I can not wait to love you more
And for my life with you to start

My love you are my only
The one I trust and treasure
My love for you runs freely
And flows without end or measure

I Love You oh my love
With all that I am I love you
I Love You oh my love
With a love that I hold true.

Missing You

Author: Leanne Mcdonlad

I'm missing you like crazy
I think I'm going mad
I simply can't stop thinking 
of the special times we had.

Each moment lasts an hour
Each hour lasts a day
The clock is ticking slowly
Just because you went away.

I need you here beside me
I just want to see your face
To feel your precious heartbeat
And be lost in your embrace.

I gaze out of the window
And look up at the moon
I play the waiting Game
And pray you'll be here soon.

They say hope springs eternal
Well I only hope it's true
For I can't bare the emptiness
That comes from missing you.

Missing You

Author: Queenie Quisido

You are the one who I always think,
I even see your face everytime I blink.
I really don't know why am I acting like this,
All I know that it is you who I miss.

When I think about you, my eyes seemed to glow,
When I dream of you, I hoped for no tomorrow.
To be with you right now is what I've wished
'Coz it is really you whom my heart has missed.

I believe that we will be together sooner or later.
How I hope that the time and day will pass faster
So that I'll be with you and hug you tight,
And never let go of you with all my might.

'Coz I really miss you and boy that is true.
