1 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Oh My Love

Oh my love of all love that exist What words can be said or sung to say I love you To say Oh my love of life itself What a wonderful life you shared with me How lucky was I How glorious this time together

I saw the light of day rise behind you A glitter of gold on your face A whisper of joy from your lips Oh my love of all love You’re the rose in my heart The skip in my step

Oh my love Hmm, darling my love La, La, La, La, Hmm, La, La, La, La, Whoa, my love The charm of my name on your bracelet I see you twirl it round and round You smile, I smile

None of this could be true if you hadn’t smile at me that day I saw you standing next to me I waited till you looked at me I would have waited all day, forever Oh my love my darling What a wonderful life you give me

I love you more each day Each moment my heart grows fonder for you Hmm, darling my love La, La, La, La, hmm, La, La, La, La Oh my love, you’re the love of my life

2 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – What Love Brings

What I’ve seen come and gone In the light of a new day In a the glow of your smile What love brings is wondrous Never could I have known had I not fallen in love with you

What love brings to someone like me Full of hope, only where despair once resided Now in the dawn of a new day Love rises all around What love brings in a simple smile

I’ve come close, and yet so far I’ve stood Now standing next to you to say I do What love brings to these vows To my love for you I want to know all that can be with you

What love brings for me and you I wear this ring to remind me of what once was I take your hand to guide me to where I want to live my life I can only live in your heart I can only see through your eyes I can only love you, it’s all I know and ever want to know

What love brings let me rise from the ashes where I lay for so long Where I found comfort in despair Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, rising through what love brings I am no longer made of this dust Instead, I am made of what love brings for me and you

3 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Welcome To My Prayer

No sooner are you a stranger to me No truer I begged around to know the truth Now a scavenger of the life I’ve lived Feeding on the remains of the day

Welcome to my prayer of life and death No depth in me and no nerve to ascend to anything Life hauls me out by the ankles No one risking life and limb to save me Welcome to my prayer

No heroes at my side They see me, giving me a wink of my own indiscretions I am no trouble to them in my silence I offer no remarks in my prayer Welcome to my prayer of stillness

Muteness leaves no grudges It would annoy them if I welcomed them to my prayer Under a lofty archway they hold me in high regards in their secret lusty exchange I am worthy of my penance Welcome to my prayer of choice My sin dictates the one who won me that night

Welcome to my prayer stuffed with immorality The debauchery of the winning hand and takes the one most liked Welcome to my prayer of estrangement to God No one knows the suitors I’ve contended Some discreet, others not so much My soul naked for all to see On display for the next exchange

Welcome to my prayer Welcome to my prayer knowingly doing wrong to self Welcome to my prayer in ropes of rags around my loins Delicate and bruised Below my waist they stand nearby I give my power to the winner of the night

4 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – I’ll Continue To Excuse You

I sailed ashore with the wind in my sail With salt on my lips Welcomed by the towering cliffs So kind they were, their mighty stance Taking me from the wasteland from which I escaped

I’ll continue to excuse you for what you left behind For sending me overseas beneath dark murky skies With little air to breath With little sun to see

That feeble mind of yours weak with fear of imagination Should you think to see what comes beyond you While we crawled through the apocalyptic storm created in your wake We gaze at hollow lands and empty seas I’ll continue to excuse you for what you left behind

Then the Gods can turn their gaze upon you You can look us in our futuristic eyes What wretched doom been struck for all to see I’ll continue to excuse you for what you left behind Blind folded you were to see what you didn’t want to see What you knew and stared away so well

I’ll continue to excuse you for the sake of my humanity For my heart that still yearns to stir in the world you left behind The mothers and fathers of your future lie and grieve in their graves We are ships with no oars It’s the wind in our sails that drifts us apart from what you saw and what we see What we live in the world you left behind for me to see

I’ll continue to excuse you for the beat in my heart Beats for me, beats for you, and those who I’ll leave this world For my humanity, their imagination I’ll continue to excuse you with eyes wide open of what will come tomorrow

5 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – I’ll Always Remember Your Name

Song/Poem of the Year

So vast your life and your smile You sang us your songs and gave us your heart Never did you ask for anything back The tone of your voice resonates throughout time With the wind on at your back and the sun on your face you gave life I’ll always remember your name

I’ll always remember your name I’ll always see your face In your embrace I felt so well in a simple melody You gave me hope and set me free I love you so my dear old friend of songs and life

In the light of a new day the trumpets golden vibrant echoes your name I’ll always remember your name I’ll always remember the sweet taste of wine as your kiss I’ll always remember your name next to mind So long ago this was and yet only yesterday it seems you held my hand

I’ll always remember your name as the promise you gave me As the love you gave me to see me through my hardest days I’ll always remember your good and kind heart Generous to all and most of all to me The tale of your life unravelled in mystery They called out your name

I’ll always remember your name Cloaked in secrecy of the strangeness of this world How divine your revelation of the man you were The man you became I’ll always remember your name Together with love your name goes on for the light that you gave

I’ll always remember your name

6 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Turbulence

What’s all this commotion I’m feeling The confusion of the silence within The turmoil of the crazy laughter bursting from my mouth What’s my disorder to unravel and discover I’m on the turbulence ride of my life

I found the peace in the unrest I’m sane in my instability I feel the uproar in the beat of my heart The turbulence of a life well traveled Of a journey well experienced

A most unpredictable emotional sensation The irregular motion of my stride This turbulence of the mind somewhat insignificant A momentarily change of my present state No loss of control of my senses

Turbulence tosses me violently in my mind I scramble to control the impossible I’m the structural damage of my attempt to resolve the unresolved I cease to detain the erratic change I feel the friction of my feet on the ground

The strong wind on my back forcing me ahead Turbulent eddies way beyond my reach to ease the motion In search of this mysterious stability above and beyond my line of sight Blowing warm and cold I feel the layers of desire The call of the downdraft on my soul

I’m the bird in this wind I’m the wind beneath my wings I’m irregularity of all that is meant to be I’m the calm you seek in all your despair of normalcy

7 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Believe Me

Hmm, ya, whoa, whoa, whoa It’s me you’re talking to It’s me you loved all these years What’s changed to make you so unhappy with me Believe me when I say I’m right where I want to be You’re the one I want to be

Why won’t you believe me Is it the old me your looking for Believe me, I’m not the same as I was Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa

You’re breaking my heart when you don’t believe me Over the years I’ve given you cause But this time believe me I’m true to your heart Why are you forsaking all that I’ve said and done All that I’ve said and done for the sake of our love

Believe me Believe me Believe me for just a moment Feel me in your heart in this instance Look into my eyes and tell me who you see I’m so in love with you, believe me

Believe me for the love that you know was true For the love that is truer than ever Believe me for another moment What do you feel What do you know What is your heart telling you

Believe me I’m now who I always wanted to be The difference is vast to our old life Believe me, what you believe you saw was not what was I’m so in love with you, believe me

8 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Tulip

I forged my way through the winter of my life Remaining still and quiet until the ground thawed I wake to the sun on my face and rise to the sky I’m the tulip that awakened from a sleep I’m the tulip that stayed and found her way

I had no need to be moved I planted myself in the ground where I knew I wanted to grow I let the bees and butterflies visit me I’m the tulip of time past, present and future with no time gone by My cup shape heart grows with the rain

I start as the bulb of life and remain as the bloom of time Flower of the land for many to see I’m plucked and I’m watered in many homes I’m the colour you choose that reflects your mood

Tulip to remind you of the new day Where life begins and finds its way to its end The blossom of a stem with a flower I colour parts of the planet I’m developed in the wild and in your gardens Where do you see me best

Where is the bud when I’m at rest What’s the best of me Tulip in the spring Or do you see me already in the bud that’s soon to be the bloom of your new day Tulip of many parts of me and you I plant me where I soon will be

9 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – So Much I Want To Say

Being at your side has been the best part of my life You held me up when I couldn’t walk alone I hid my scars and you uncovered my face So tender your hands and so kind your heart So much I want to say to you

You saved my life when all the joy seized in my heart Your finger tapped gently on my anguish The mad words I let escape you captured with a kiss So much I want to say about my loss and sorrow But you take me back home where my heart resides

So much I want to say in the long quiet hours of my day I stay beside you seeing the life waiting for me Through the longest nights of bitter cold and nightmares The fearing crowds in my mind subside by your side So much I want to say on the growth of my heart

Long gone this slumber weaving through my breath I think how you captured my heart with a simple I think how I left myself slide away from life I wanted So much I want to say to me To remind me of all that life waits for me

I’m the mother and father of my dreams I’m the one chance at the life you give me So much I want to say in love and words can only repeat I warn me of what once was So much I want to say in these quiet moments our life

Take my hand and let me lead the way to our hearts So much I want to say to me So much I want to say to us The mad words I now let escape without a sound My heart captures before your gentle kiss

10 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Je t’aime encore

I’d walk to the moon and back just for a kiss I love your great laugh, deep from your belly So bright you shine And when you cry, you cry a river of tears That’s how I remember you I loved you then, and je t’aime encore

Je t’aime encore even with all these years gone by Seeing you standing there I felt love all over again No one has ever filled the hole in my heart We were young when parted from one another My heart told me I’d see you again

You’re children have your smile The best part of you is in them, I see this in their eyes They smiled when you told them my name They know our story They watched you kiss me and smiled when you said Je t’aime encore

Je t’aime encore mon amour Life was lived and we embraced those moments I thank the stars every night for the crossing of our paths Every morning I wake to your smile Your children now mind The best part of you wrapped in my arms

Je t’aime encore A new life to live with the love of my life No more kiss goodbye Je t’aime encore

11 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Got Everybody Thinking

Once upon a time There lived a monk named Ustan He told stories of what was to come What was to go The world on fire And the world surrounded with flowers

He got everybody thinking of this and that He got everybody thinking me, myself and I He got everybody thinking of you, me and us He got everybody thinking of who are them

A short time passed before he continued his story Less and less of us were listening More and more of us were gone forever Fewer and fewer of them were them Then one day he got everybody thinking

Some listened Some talked Some turned the other way Then there were fewer and fewer of us listening More and more of use were them Fewer and fewer were us

Then one day he stopped telling his story Once upon a time had arrived This time he sang a song of their stories gone by And he got everybody thinking There was no more despair Everyone was gone There were no more us and them All life had gone Only souls drifted by singing along

Once upon a time There lived a many good people Some were them Some were us Together they got everybody thinking Together they extinguished everything that was

12 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – The blue eye prince

2nd song of the day

The blue eye prince Next to his king In love with his soul The king gives him a kiss Forever they remain hidden in the castle Together as one a love grows like a flower in their garden Some daffodils and many roses In the years to come the prince ventures out of the castle On his journey in search of his king No where to be found but his heart The prince returns to his castle and king The blue eye prince with a twinkle in his heart looks beyond the towering walls In the light of the morning sun he gazes in the spirit of his king The blue eye prince falls to his knees and rejoices in the glory of their first kiss

12 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Willing To Pay

Take me home where I once recognized myself Where I found my strength to be free Where I belonged all this time I’ve wandered this great land of ours I was willing to pay for what I sought For what called me

Willing to pay for where I belonged Once more I seek to go where I’m called I stand naked to all that judged me And me worst of all From one day to the next I was willing to pay to be me

How can I forget what I wanted and what was calling me How can I go on without being willing to pay for turning the other way I’m willing to pay for my soul at peace I’m willing to pay for my heart singing with joy The beautiful dreams I’ve shared with this world was meant for me And only me, am I willing to pay for my dreams

Hmm, hmm, hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa This life of mind willing to pay for my eternity I’m no longer the fool I was in search of something I would never find What I found on my journey has lead me back home The world heard my screams I found every echo I felt every thought Seeking to be found in a place where I thought I belonged

Willing to pay for being found Willing to pay for turning round and round Willing to pay to find my way back home Back to me, where I belong

13 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Meant To Be

What a palace you’ve made for yourself You shot your rockets of desires into the universe Sparkles rained down on you Then you find yourself behind bars Was this meant to be

Was this meant to be your soul confined Your last goodbye so far You decided to break free and escape Our demons are never far behind You killed a man in self defense Was this his destiny Meant to be for you it seems

You ran and ran into oblivion Meant to be a road never traveled The obscurity of your journey Meant to be Wanting to be forgotten Meant to be Overlooking all your offences Is this meant to be

The stupor of your mind Racing here and there No stopping the insanity of the situation You killed a man in self defense You say this is so How was this meant to be

Running for your life Forgetting all that was Your shadow right behind Your thoughts all too close Your sense and sensibility of your rockets of desire Ashes rain on you Is this meant to be

14 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – History of Love

The past has given us so many stories The accounts of our lives And the antiquity of where we began Time has gone by with you in my arms Times past without a whisper of where we were headed

This is the history of love of our wildest dreams lived together The history of love for this present moment What has happened holds all the virtue of you and me We’ve studied our past to see us here The records of these events mattered to this very moment History of love was the fabric of our background for you and me

Interesting past of what was in a time when we were searching for one another The historical play of the scenes of our lives Too fantastical to have unravelled so plainly The ancient history of love To be something that happened a long time ago for this very moment Or perhaps only recently the history of love was the past our future And is no longer important to see what’s ahead But to be in this moment The history of our love

I’m in love with you more today than yesterday The history of love the influence of my life The importance of something or anything Abruptly brought to an end for a new history of love A new beginning, a new day to fall in love with you all over again I’m in love with the history of our love

Every step I took to this day marks my history of love Forever the accounts of our glorious love A simple narration of our history of love The story of my tender affections for you The dearest of desires for us in the history of love

15 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Amazing

It’s so easy to see the insignificance of each other To search for credibility worthy of each others love And hide the wonder of you How amazing we are against one another

How amazing we can be for each other The stunning frenzy of the hidden you in you The incredible reflection of your shadow It’s amazing to be ordinary The poor vision of another

You walk in your own footsteps and no other Your truth takes account of the bad they see And the stories of you all plausible The startling ending of the one and only story The astonishment of the cruelness of ones closest to you

Amazing the events leading you to this place Your mortal journey on such insignificant a start The poor expected outcome upon the dreams secretly tucked away You paused in a moment grappling at an amazing revelation How amazing you’ve grown in the judgement of others

You appear amazed that you could walk with your head up eye To life your spirit with a skip in your stride They all believed you wouldn’t amount to anything Amazing of all these unamazing ordinary mortals in judgment of others Among us is the fancy of an astonishing place Our soul bewildered to common standard of the unkind in this world

Amazing your strange and wonderful you Curious to know you

16 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Anytime You and Me

Anytime you and me Forever in harmony In love once, enough for me You’re the light of my life Love of my heart I smile only because you love me

They said I was a fool Never would you see me Never would you give your heart to someone like me I knew in my heart it was anytime you and me Time was on my side Because I waited for you

I was forever at your side Always listening Each day learning more and more of who I was in love with I knew it was anytime for you and me No two days were the same No two days did I see you the same

So plain they said I was Too ordinary for the likes of someone like you My heart whispered anytime now you and me Never once did I doubt Always twice I looked your way

I saw you in the shop that day You looked my way You smiled I invited you to tea Not today, but anytime

Anytime you and me was right around the corner Ever since then it’s been you and me

17 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – You’re Leaving Me

I know what you’re doing I can see the love for me draining from you heart You’re eyes stopped smiling at me I know you’re leaving me Can you tell me You’re silence is killing me

You don’t touch me anymore I’m so lonely with you next to me You’re back to me in bed is too cruel Why are you torturing me You’re leaving me I know you’re leaving me

Why don’t you say it Why haven’t you done it already What do you want to say or do You’re leaving me in agony I can’t take this anymore My heart is breaking I can’t stand the pain

I don’t know how much more I can take Why, why, why Why are you killing me this way You’re leaving me I see it in the way you stare at me I see it when you look away from me

You’re leaving me Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa You’re hurting me You’re leaving me when you say you love me You love me, how so You’re hurting me

18 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Believe That It’s True

Believe that it’s true Know what you’ve done to me and you It’s so simple all the lying and cheating Such great stories to keep me loving you Believe that it’s true the wrong you done

What’s been said and done is not forgotten What’s been cried over is now over What’s been painful to do is now easy Believe that it’s true that I’m leaving you There’s no turning back No more wishing for things to be different

It’s spent half my life wanted you to be different I’m now spending the rest of my life being me, different Me being me for the love of me This time believe that it’s true that I have what it takes to make it on my own That I have what it takes to be better then I was Believe that it’s true that I’m walking out that door happier than I’ve ever been

I’ve lived much too long a life of misery A life knowing the wrong you were doing to me, to us The wrong I was doing to myself Believe that it’s true I’ve forsaken nothing to make it right for me Believe that it’s true that you’ll come knocking and I’ll be gone No more crawling back No more shedding tears

Believe that’s it true you have condemn yourself to a longer life of misery Believe that it’s true you will be lonely without me Believe that it’s true you will now know how loved you were Believe that it’s true you will for the first time know you without me

19 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Into My Heart

I know what I want to say to make this right I fought so hard to get us here What could I have done to make it different It took but a moment for you to get into my heart What tragedy is greater than us apart They forced my hand to keep you far from me

The battle now into my heart is not your fault All that’s left are your letters I dare not get you closer and into my heart I love you too much to forsaken you to such a life My darling you are better off to find another Never again can I let you into my heart, so close Better for you to walk the other way

I will always long for you and me I will dream of you in my heart I will nurture our memories and remember you before this day I beg you keep a small piece of me into your heart But I must set you free Never shall you reach into my heart with your kiss With a single touch for both of us to survive this day To survive what’s to come

I do this because I love you Only you can get into my heart Only you can take this love and make a life Without us you will survive I will survive because I’ll remember you in my heart Into my heart is forsaken forever for you and me Because I love you more

20 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Next To Nothing

It’s impossible to be this alone and without love for so long What was believed so long ago is now keeping me apart from you and everyone So close I came to choosing something else It was next to nothing thinking I could be happy without you I was flawed in my perception of who I was and wanted to be

It was next to nothing to deny myself unwavering love To be seen in the fanfare and fancy free society In the lunacy of bright lights and socialites It was nothing thinking I was free in the world I created It was nothing being blind to the bondage imposed of such a life

I saw you in the shadow of my life Free of all emotional involvement Free of commitment to you or anyone Especially free of commitment to myself It was nothing being untouchable by anyone or anything Till that one day facing myself alone in the mirror

It was next to nothing worshiping the stranger before me It was next to nothing turning the other cheek But this failed so miserably I wasn’t there I just wanted to hurt me

I searched for my consciousness It was everything to do something different It was possible to see me with love To believe in an open heart and embracing a new life I created Soon it became next to impossible to deny myself all love I shut the door to my lunatic world It was next to impossible to be as I was Instead, it became next to nothing to be with you and me

21 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – A Little Happiness

It started with no hope in sight Nowhere to go and nothing to see All was dead and gone The only thing left was tomorrow With certainty the sun would rise And that was a little happiness to get us through to tomorrow

A little happiness of witnessed in the wonders of life All it took was to look here and there A bounty of a little happiness right before our eyes Every moment of the day A world once known we saw no more Its end shown bright at sunset

Waiting for the sunrise replenished that little bit of hope A little happiness sprinkled in the early morning glow Never again this world will return to us Never again shall we know what was given to us A little happiness precious as gold we let go Precious as the souls of all lives once known

No man, no animal, no plant, no life more equal now than ever But never shall it return in this world we let go A little happiness in the morning sun is all we have Who’s left to see the glory of a world others will never know No stories will capture that creation No stories will tell the truth of what ended our creation

A little happiness in the staring up a the sun A lingering light once recognized as life All gone when it sets itself to sleep Yet a little happiness when it decides to return to us each tomorrow

22 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Chasing Rainbows

I’ve been everywhere chasing rainbows No two the same and never on the same day All roads leading to nowhere Yet all I knew was chasing rainbows What did I know so certainly to lead me here What was I blind to

Chasing rainbows was a no no in my circle But I couldn’t let go I dangled from arcs I launched all of me from its bow Was there really false hope in chasing rainbows Was there not an assortment of life out there for me

I’m made of many different things Chasing rainbows is one of them It’s what I know than just what’s in my circle I have a variety of colour in me They span moving in and out of what I know Chasing rainbows isn’t all that bad

My bridge is the arch curving where I need to go Where I want to go Chasing rainbows is in pursuit of me Making me run towards where I want to be I’ve stopped wasting time and got on with chasing more rainbows I see now all the roads lead somewhere Chasing rainbows has lead me out of my circle

I’m in my own frame Easy to step out when I chose to chase my next rainbow Engrave my footsteps in this world I decorate it with all colours of the rainbow With all the possibilities I know exist out there for me

23 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Spread My Wings

All I wanted to do was ride my banana seat bike And spin around in my go-cart I was the tomboy of the town But didn’t feel I was a boy I was just a girl who did what she felt

Mother said never mind the other and do what you want That day I spread my wings I rode my bike as far away from this town And bought go-cart for grown ups No one knew how far I was gone I spread my wings in the vastest of plains

You’re a beautiful woman they would say How unusual you look One of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen I still dreamed of banana seat bike And I was always behind the wheel of my go-cart I spread my wings away from what they wanted With the wind beneath my wings I followed the trail of my dreams

It was time to go home when mother died Even though she said to stay on my trail of dreams Nobody expected to see me They saw what they remembered of me How surprised they were to know how wrong they were of me I spread my wings so far way from this town I had not recognized them either Together we rekindled the glory of the banana seat bike I found my old go-cart and whizzed around this old town of mind I spread my wings in the world that lead me to my dreams

It was time to leave again But this time I looked behind and kissed them goodbye Time for me to spread my wings while walking towards my dreams I’m the woman they never knew I’m the woman I discovered along the way

24 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Gaze Into

Hmm, so bright the sky tonight So many stars gazing over me I can reach up and touch the sky Into my hand they fall I gaze into the stars and they sing back to me

I gaze into the light of a life once lived Into the window of a soul once known And beyond a single dream of the footsteps before me So long ago was only yesterday And today I gaze into the story of the beginning of one life

Each star a soul Each soul a story untold One never knows the wonder of the tales A spirit surviving in death gazes into the depth of life I gaze into this unknown The emotion of the sphere of my possession to see My passion the essence of my perfection The essential gaze into my individual

So long this regard to seek a steady look at me To gape at the shape of my humanity And gawk at the fixed society Ordinary in its men and women Who gaze into a collective sense

Hmm, so bright my eyes gaze into the unfamiliar All too familiar and strange With no entity or identity I remain nameless New as I gaze into somebody widely known to me alone

25 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Lemonade

Hey when I get the blues Suppressing those feelings deep into my pit of sorrow How do I satisfy my thirst for a bit of relief from the blues To know a little exhilaration, just a bit Then I come by that familiar lemonade stand The joys of my childhood My sweetheart from so long ago

All the love was there in that lemonade stand The first time I bought her a lemonade So sweet she squint those big brown eyes I wanted to kiss her right there and then She smiled and skipped away to the next lemonade stand I was right behind

Hey when I get the blues I search for that lemonade stand I know I can’t be free from where I’ve been But I can remember that sweet lemonade kiss The single blissful feeling to get me back from the blues That memory always just around the corner from my pit of sorrow I feel that heartbeat that kept me alive and well back then

Hmm that familiar lemonade stand My sweetheart from so long ago in every dream This misery does not want this company to get me out of the blues I’m not that cruel I want my sweetheart to see me as I was I’ll follow every lemonade stand until I’m rid of the blues I want one more lemonade kiss to appease the beast inside me Hmm suppressing those feelings deep into my pit of sorrow No longer serving me

Hmm I’ll get back to that lemonade stand For one more lemonade kiss

26 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Marmalade

What’s been up and down in this crazy world of mind Marmalade and toast is all that feels good It’s but a great day when you can have marmalade With a nice cup of tea So divine the combined taste A hint of its spell on my lips Seasoned with the Gods of citrus

A zest of marmalade in the air The tang of its verb of its savour Oh, la, la, la, la Whoa, la, la, la The aroma of my marmalade Makes this crazy world all the better Relish in the hearty punch of marmalade

Exciting this hearty gusto of oranges Passion for the piquant of flavours Appetite of a beast Never too much marmalade on my toast With a nice cup of tea Oh, la, la, la, la Whoa, la, la, la

What a delight this blissful food A strong taste of citrus on my tongue I like all too much this marmalade A simple pleasure from the Gods of the orange Delight, delightful, Oh, la, la, la, la Whoa, la, la, la MMMM marmalade on my toast

They say all you need is a little bit of love Give a little, take a little It’s so easy Love is everywhere You just have to want it You just have to give it

Hmm, things we do for love What don’t we do for love What we sacrifice for love It seems everything Every part of ever thing

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Things we do for love Sometimes it comes Sometimes it doesn’t Yet we still search for love No matter if we never find it

What’s it all about this silly life of ours What’s the point for any of it When you don’t know love And yet willing to do anything for it Things we do for love sometimes leaves tears behind Sometime too much sorrow And if lucky a little joy

Things we do for love Never the same thing twice it seems What’s the thing we wouldn’t do for love Who would dare to be so bold

28 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Love Is Blind

So you want to run away from me From all that love that we’ve shown one another I used to feel this was all there was And I see there’s more to life that just you and me Love is blind from someone who doesn’t want to love Love is blind to all that doesn’t want it But love can be blind to the flaws of one’s heart When all there is is truly love

Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa Love is blind in all the best stories of love We see what want to see We love what we want to love We ignore what will bring us pain I see why you are running from me You say your love is blind to my flaws But yet you leave You leave me for another

Love is blind Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa No matter which way you look Love is bind to me and you We’ve searched so hard for one another In our blind fury we found each other You caught me when I crumbled And caught me when I fell for another Love is blind to our demise

No rules of love for you and me Love is blind from day to day in this day we’ve created I hold you strong now and forever when you walk away You hold my hand as I walk the other way Love is blind to the flaws we’ve held on so tight To love we did have that was true Love is blind for you and me

29 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Sometimes I Feel Sometimes I Don’t

What more can I say Sometimes I feel sometimes I don’t It’s just the way it’s always been An ocean of tears one day Buckets of laughter the other Then nothing It’s all I can say

Sometimes I feel sometimes I don’t It’s no wonder I don’t know where I’m going or what I’m doing It’s a mystery to my soul I’m stone cold one day I’m all kisses the next What am I made of What are feelings I’m so jittery I wobble so easily

Sometimes I feel sometimes I don’t Carry me away into another world I want to know what’s to come I want to feel the feeling of knowing Sometimes I feel sometimes I don’t What’s the use of trying to be stable What’s the use of trying to be sane

Crazy is what I feel most of the time Worry is what consumes me most Panic of the unknown takes my breath away Yet sometimes I feel sometimes I don’t Am I made of stone Am I made of something but of someone of this world Too sane to know the different Too sane to see the answer right before my eyes What’s this something of feelings I feel sometimes and sometime I don’t

30 September 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – No Warning

No warning for this kind of love Much to my surprise I fell in love with you Right there and then No questions needed I knew you No warning for such love is fine with me

Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, La, La, La No warning for such love is fine with me It’s the magic of love It’s the splendour of our existence Who could want for more No warning for me and you That’s the magic of love

La, la, la, la, la No warning my darling of what was given to us The affection you give with no warning Blissful is my life I adore you beyond words My dearest no warning for any of our desires Passionate affection requires no warning Eliciting only my enthusiasm for a kiss Your gentle touch As I worship our God of love Giving us no warning of what was to come

No warning of such a romance Lasted a lifetime My sweetheart, my love I like you so very much my dearest No warning to loving you so deeply The adoration of your kiss Of your soul you leave so gently in my hands

Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, La, La, La La, la, la, la No warning for such love is fine with me
