Hero of Love Lyrics:by live
I caught a glimpse of Heaven last night
To the left of your body, to the right of your mind
Lost in a riddle I was helpless to understand
I went to a healer, the healer held my hand
She said, "All of these things are written in the sand behind me"
Oh, I dream about you every night, I call your name
The whole world thinks that I am insane, here I come again, yeah
I caught a glimpse of Heaven last night
Through a crack in the mirror that fractalized the light
A saint is a sinner, a sinner is a saint
It's all just the cloaks we hide behind, a cartoon in the brain
And I say, "All of these things are written in the sand behind me"
Oh, I dream about you every night, I call your name
The whole world thinks that I am insane, here I come again
hero of love takin' you higher
I wanna be your hero of love
Is it getting better, is it getting brighter
I wanna be your hero, your hero of love, of love, of love
I caught a glimpse of Heaven last night
Was that a number ninety six or was it a sixty nine
Oh, I was lost in a riddle I was helpless to understand
I went to a lover, this lover held my hand
She said, "All of these things are just written in the sand behind me"
Oh, I dream about you every night, I call your name
The whole world thinks that I am insane, here I come again
hero of love takin' you higher
I wanna be your hero of love
Is it getting better, ooh, is it getting brighter, brighter, brighter
I wanna be your hero, your hero of love, of love, of love
I wanna be be your hero of love, I wanna be be your hero of love
I got to be your hero of love, I wanna be be your hero of love
I wanna move mountains, I wanna move the devil
I wanna move the President, on your knees, everybody, everybody
I wanna be be your hero of love
I wanna be be your hero, oh, yeah
Girl Interrupted: "You know, there's too many buttons in the world. There's too many buttons and they're just - there's way too many just begging to be pressed, they're just begging to be pressed, you know? They're just - they're just begging to be pressed! And it makes me wonder, it really makes me fucking wonder, why doesn't anyone ever press mine? Why am I so neglected? Why doesn't anyone reach in and rip out the truth and tell me that I'm a fucking whore, or that my parents wish I were dead?" "Sometimes the only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy." Love that film
Doll by Nicky Singer "Sometimes I think my brain is full of locked boxes. And that one day there will be too many boxes and my brain will explode. Then fourteen years of scary things will cascade to the floor and finally I'll have to look. But not now. Not yet."

Acrobat by U2 Acrobat Don't believe what you hear, don't believe what you see If you just close your eyes you can feel the enemy. When I first met you girl, you had fire in your soul. What happened t'your face of melting snow Now it looks like this! And you can swallow or you can spit You can throw it up, or choke on it And you can dream, so dream out loud You know that your time is coming round So don't let the bastards grind you down. No, nothing makes sense, nothing seems to fit. I know you'd hit out if you only knew who to hit. And I'd join the movement If there was one I could believe in Yeah, I'd break bread and wine If there was a church I could receive in. 'Cause I need it now. To take the cup To fill it up, to drink it slow. I can't let you go. And I must be an acrobat To talk like this and act like that. And you can dream, so dream out loud And don't let the bastards grind you down. What are we going to do now it's all been said? No new ideas in the house, and every book's been read. And I must be an acrobat To talk like this and act like that. And you can dream, so dream out loud And you can find your own way out. And you can build, and I can will And you can call, I can't wait until You can stash and you can seize In dreams begin responsibilities And I can love, and I can love And I know that the tide is turning 'round So don't let the bastards grind you down.
one of my faves.. Hejira, Joni Mitchell I'm traveling in some vehicle I'm sitting in some cafe A defector from the petty wars That shell shock love away There's comfort in melancholy When there's no need to explain It's just as natural as the weather In this moody sky today In our possessive coupling So much could not be expressed So now I'm returning to myself These things that you and I suppressed I see something of myself in everyone Just at this moment of the world As snow gathers like bolts of lace Waltzing on a ballroom girl You know it never has been easy Whether you do or you do not resign Whether you travel the breadth of extremities Or stick to some straighter line Now here's a man and a woman sitting on a rock They're either going to thaw out or freeze Listen... Strains of Benny Goodman Coming thru' the snow and the pinewood trees I'm porous with travel fever But you know I'm so glad to be on my own Still somehow the slightest touch of a stranger Can set up trembling in my bones I know - no one's going to show me everything We all come and go unknown Each so deep and superficial Between the forceps and the stone Well I looked at the granite markers Those tribute to finality - to eternity And then I looked at myself here Chicken scratching for my immortality In the church they light the candles And the wax rolls down like tears There's the hope and the hopelessness I've witnessed thirty years We're only particles of change I know, I know Orbiting around the sun But how can I have that point of view When I'm always bound and tied to someone White flags of winter chimneys Waving truce against the moon In the mirrors of a modern bank >From the window of a hotel room I'm traveling in some vehicle I'm sitting in some cafe A defector from the petty wars Until love sucks me back that way
Women's Lib? Poor little things. They always look so unhappy. Have you noticed how bitter their faces are? Joan Crawford Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite to a party.

:inlove:i carry your heart with me by E. E. Cummings i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart):rose:
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH "Faith is a passionate intuition." "Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart."
Brown Penny by William Butler Yeats I whispered, 'I am too young,' And then, 'I am old enough'; Wherefore I threw a penny To find out if I might love. 'Go and love, go and love, young man, If the lady be young and fair.' Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny, I am looped in the loops of her hair. O love is the crooked thing, There is nobody wise enough To find out all that is in it, For he would be thinking of love Till the stars had run away And the shadows eaten the moon. Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny, One cannot begin it too soon.
DARKNESS In darkness Where my dreams are all too clear Darkness, darkness Filled with all the sounds of fear I hear voices (don't turn out the light) Calling faraway I see shadows (don't turn out the light) Moving, changing shape And the clock stops As darkness closes in I hesitate but it's too late I scream and scream again I hear colours black and red I see sounds that fill my head I'll never read those books again In darkness Where my dreams are all too clear Darkness, darkness Filled with all the sounds of fear I hear voices (don't turn out the light) Calling faraway I see shadows (don't turn out the light) Moving, changing shape Don't turn out the light (don't turn out the light) Or I'll go over the edge Don't turn out the light (don't turn out the light) Or I'll go over the edge In darkness Where my dreams are all too clear Darkness, darkness Filled with all the sounds of fear I hear voices (don't turn out the light) Calling faraway I see shadows (don't turn out the light) Moving, changing shape I hear voices (don't turn out the light) Calling faraway I see shadows (don't turn out the light) Moving, changing shape Phil Oakey and The Human League Padds
Fall not into degrading weakness, for it becomes not a man who is a man. Throw off this ignoble discouragement, and;Arise, like a fire that burns all before it. Krishna (The Gita, ch2-v3)
Starlings - Elbow How dare the Premier ignore my invitations? He'll have to go So, too, the bunch he luncheons with It's second on my list of things to do At the top, I'm stopping by Your place of work and acting like I haven't dreamed of you and I And marriage in an orange grove You are the only thing in any room you're ever in I'm stubborn, selfish and too old. I sat you down and told you how the truest love that's ever found Is for oneself You pulled apart my theory With a weary and disinterested sigh So yes I guess I'm asking you To back a horse that's good for glue And nothing else But find a man that's truer than, Find a man that needs you more than I Sit with me a while And let me listen to you talk about your dreams and your obsessions I'll be quiet and confessional The violets explode inside me when I meet your eyes Then I'm spinning and I'm diving Like a cloud of starlings Darling is this love?

Chasing Cars lyrics We'll do it all Everything On our own We don't need Anything Or anyone If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lay with me and just forget the world? I don't quite know How to say How I feel Those three words Are said too much they're not enough If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads I need your grace To remind me To find my own If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see I don't know where Confused about how as well Just know that these things will never change for us at all If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

:love: :notes: :yinyang: ****A Special World**** A special world for you and me A special bond one cannot see It wraps us up in its cocoon And holds us fiercely in its womb. Its fingers spread like fine spun gold Gently nestling us to the fold Like silken thread it holds us fast Bonds like this are meant to last. And though at times a thread may break A new one forms in its wake To bind us closer and keep us strong In a special world, where we belong. - Sheelagh Lennon - ******************************************* ****An Entrapment**** My love, I have tried with all my being to grasp a form comparable to thine own, but nothing seems worthy; I know now why Shakespeare could not compare his love to a summer’s day. It would be a crime to denounce the beauty of such a creature as thee, to simply cast away the precision God had placed in forging you. Each facet of your being whether it physical or spiritual is an ensnarement from which there is no release. But I do not wish release. I wish to stay entrapped forever. With you for all eternity. Our hearts, always as one. - Anthony Kolos - ************************************ If I could have just one wish, I would wish to wake up everyday to the sound of your breath on my neck, the warmth of your lips on my cheek, the touch of your fingers on my skin, and the feel of your heart beating with mine... Knowing that I could never find that feeling with anyone other than you. - Courtney Kuchta -:notes::inlove:
Bride and Groom Lie Hidden for Three Days - Ted Hughes She gives him his eyes, she found them Among some rubble, among some beetles He gives her her skin He just seemed to pull it down out of the air and lay it over her She weeps with fearfulness and astonishment She has found his hands for him, and fitted them freshly at the wrists They are amazed at themselves, they go feeling all over her He has assembled her spine, he cleaned each piece carefully And sets them in perfect order A superhuman puzzle but he is inspired She leans back twisting this way and that, using it and laughing Incredulous Now she has brought his feet, she is connecting them So that his whole body lights up And he has fashioned her new hips With all fittings complete and with newly wound coils, all shiningly oiled He is polishing every part, he himself can hardly believe it They keep taking each other to the sun, they find they can easily To test each new thing at each new step And now she smoothes over him the plates of his skull So that the joints are invisible And now he connects her throat, her breasts and the pit of her stomach With a single wire She gives him his teeth, tying the the roots to the centrepin of his body He sets the little circlets on her fingertips She stiches his body here and there with steely purple silk He oils the delicate cogs of her mouth She inlays with deep cut scrolls the nape of his neck He sinks into place the inside of her thighs So, gasping with joy, with cries of wonderment Like two gods of mud Sprawling in the dirt, but with infinite care They bring each other to perfection.
El Desdichado - Gerard De Nerval (1808-1855)
Je suis le Ténébreux, le Veuf, l'Inconsolé,
I am the dark one, the widower, the incosolable,
Le Prince d'Aquitaine à la Tour abolie.
the Prince of Aquitaine in his ruined tower.
Ma seule Etoile est morte, et mon luth constellé
My only star is dead, and my jewelled lute
Porte le Soleil noir de la Mélancolie.
bears only the blackened sun of Melancholia.
Dans la nuit du Tombeau, Toi qui m'as consolé,
Rends-moi le Pausilippe et la mer d'Italie,
La fleur qui plaisait tant à mon coeur désolé,
Et la treille où le Pampre à la Rose s'allie.
Suis-je Amour ou Phébus ?... Lusignan ou Biron ?
Mon front est rouge encor du baiser de la Reine,
My forehead is yet red from the kiss of the Queen,
J'ai rêvé dans la Grotte où nage la sirène...
I have swum in the grotto where the siren sings...
Et j'ai deux fois vainqueur traversé l'Achéron,
And I have twice crossed the Acheron victorious,
Modulant tour à tour sur la lyre d'Orphée
transfigured in turns on the lyre of Orpheus
Les soupirs de la Sainte et les cris de la Fée.
the translation in italics is from a Julian May novel, apart from the last line....my french isn't good enough to do the rest lol.
Elbow, One Day Like This. Drinking in the morning sun Blinking in the morning sun Shaking off the heavy one Heavy like a loaded gun What made me behave that way? Using words I never say I can only think it must be love Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day Someone tell me how I feel It's silly wrong but vivid right Oh, kiss me like the final meal Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight Cause holy cow, I love your eyes And only now I see the light Yeah, lying with me half-awake Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day When my face is chamois-creased If you think I'll wink, I did Laugh politely at repeats Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin Cause holy cow, I love your eyes And only now I see you like Yeah, lying with me half-awake Stumbling over what to say Well, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day So throw those curtains wide! One day like this a year'd see me right!
CHANCE MEETINGS by: Conrad Aiken (1889-1973) In the mazes of loitering people, the watchful and furtive, The shadows of tree-trunks and shadows of leaves, In the drowse of the sunlight, among the low voices, I suddenly face you, Your dark eyes return for a space from her who is with you, They shine into mine with a sunlit desire, They say an 'I love you, what star do you live on?' They smile and then darken, And silent, I answer 'You too--I have known you,--I love you!--' And the shadows of tree-trunks and shadows of leaves Interlace with low voices and footsteps and sunlight To divide us forever..

The Oblivion In Your Eyes Of Obsidian Words of the past haunt me as they linger nearby. I watch in a state of wakefulness as everyone else unites. My cold arms lacking the weight of the one whom I loved dear- Cannot find the peace of mind that I want to hold near. Silently counting the days that surpass me in a rush; Glimpsing at each night with the sound of an awkward hush. I bask in this sorrow that engulfs the rest of my broken heart, I'm lost without your presence; you kept me sane for the most part. The rest of the time I went insane with your touches of affection; You held on tight to my kisses and promised me your protection I jumped off the cliff of self-control and spiraled down towards oblivion; Died without the chance to take one last glance into your eyes of obsidian. Weak tears fall down my ghostly white face as I walk down this road: I'm uncertain as to what direction to turn , I do not even know. But I trust my image of you that lie forever etched inside my mind; With you just in my heart and smiling so brilliantly within, I still can be alive. Copyright (c) 2009 Lilium

It happened one night ************************************ It is a tale That began that silent night hushed by the falling snow little flakes of pristine white had wrapped world in an icy embrace and cloaked trees in ermine coats Under the Deodar tree I waited for her,and She came from the dark like a wandering breeze on feet as light as dew she was as one with the moons mysteries,timeless fascination upon mans ignorant eyes. I first spoke out and patiently she heard, and acquiesced The cold winds form the PierPanjal cocooned us around The barren freezing street Uttered barely a sound still, music there was in the air that we heard; Hesitant not,I gaze unto the radiance of her eyes,and felt drawn as if she awaited touch of me lips Her lips met mine for a brief eternity,we two kissed and together felt the warmth of our own little bliss Her voice heard in the silent embrace "Forget not this gentle embrace for I leave you never. live not in the Joys of things shine light upon the darkness of things to be. And taste each sweet breath that is given in your souls dance." And drifted back this muse of mine, who kissed my soul so very long ago. And in some tranquil nights when darkness rests I hear again her voice in my souls embrace... ©Copyright Mouris Bashir *************************************************
by LJ Roodt His presence undeniably inflaming her heart desires, a powerful enchanted spell is what it seems to be. He gently steps forward, kissing her sultry red lips, her mind breaks free, absorbing the visions of his dynasty. Shaken by reality, but unmoved by his passionate strive, his black edition unveiled, to a dying lover's soul. Her future, his past, as a kiss of dark elements surpassed, a century of seeking his love, now covered in red rose stains. Anger deep inside, shaping his soul's gloomiest cries, with crystal teardrop eyes, bursting from the inside. With hands entwined, love the foundation of his crime. A stone written in flames is their future's dying frame. Many moons have past since the day of first glance, his mind uneased by the visions he has foreseen. A spark of insanity inflicted upon his soul, the last rising moon is death's consuming gloom. A disease foretold, on finding his lover's soul, shattered and frozen, he holds his dying love. Her last breath taken by death's rising moon, a hushing sense of love, hovering in despair. The curse of mortal love, blazing through his veins, his black edition of the end, replenishes love's fatal descend. His piercing cry, awakens the immortal rage inside, a shaded broken heart, flames revenge on his path. Copyright (C) 2009 LJ Roodt **************************************************
