"Open the eyes and the mind will follow"
How can one explain a
feeling in the air?
How can one explain a
feeling very rare?
How can one define a
person always there...
One who says
"No matter what I care".
~ For once, try shutting your eyes and let your mind wander,
for
a song is empty until it is heard ~

It doesn't matter who you love
Or how you loved
But that you loved.
Unchained Melody
The Righteous Brothers
Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time. And
time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
to the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me,
wait for me.
I'll be coming home, wait for me.
Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered, hungered
for your touch a long
lonely time. And time,
goes by so slowly,
and time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love, to me.
Are You Ever Gonna Love Me
Jimmy Wayne
Tell me what else can I do
Tell me what else can I say
The closer that I get to you
The further you push me away
Till I don't know where to go
And I don't know why I stay
Do you even care
Or am I some little game you play
Are you ever gonna need me baby
Like I need you?
Are you ever gonna want me baby
The way I want you to?
I know that you love me
And oh I know down deep you do
But are you ever gonna love me
The way I love you?
I never know how you feel
I can't read you mind
I just keep waiting
Am I just wasting time?
Are you ever gonna need me baby
Like I need you?
Are you ever gonna want me baby
The way I want you to?
I know that you love me
And oh I know down deep you do
But are you ever gonna love me
Are you ever gonna love me
The way I love you?
Touch Yourself And You Touch Me
by Judy Burnette
I understand the why
Yet I cannot grasp the how;
But if this is the way you must handle us
I will try to understand somehow.
There is one thing that I ask
As you walk away;
Please create a corner in your heart for me
So at least, there, I can always stay.
You will always be my love
That will never change;
Though we are going separate ways
That fact remains the same.
I know we must let each other go
Circumstances force us to set each other free;
But today, I give back to you . . . your words -
Touch Yourself and You Touch Me.
The Dance
I can see how close you are
and feel your touch like the evening stars...
I can hold out my hand for you...
but only you can be who you are...
I can hide behind this mask
and I can run away from your view...
But if the truth be known...
my dance of love would gently melt
and surround you...

"Letting go of someone dear to you is hard,
but holding on to someone who doesn't even feel the same is much harder.
Giving up doesn't mean you are weak!
It only means that you are strong enough to let go!"
The Star
Have you ever
walked on the light from a star?
have you ever taken a chance
on something so far away?
When you see
the light comming through your eyes
Do you stand there just asking why?
Or do you laugh it off as something else
as something you dont understand.
Let me tell you
It's all out there it all just there
waiting for you to see,
waiting for you to care
about something you want so bad
about all those chances you had.
So next time
you have the chance to dance on a star
realize it's not so far
to the future you've been waiting for
and from the past you can touch no more
~DKJ 2001~
I Try
Did I really sweep you off your feet?
Did I really make you want to weep?
With tears of joy
and happiness
Well I tried...
When I saw you standing under
the light of the moon.
That's when I knew you
would have to be mine so soon.
Well I tried...
Now each night when I see the moon
I see you staring down at me
and smiling so bright
with tears of joy
and happiness
And I try...
And when the wind blows through my hair
I know its you telling me you care
And I try...
To blow a small kiss back to you
and hope that a small kiss will do
~DKJ 2001~
Lovers Moon
I could build you a fortress
And drape you with love
like the moon does the sea
But without the real you to know
We are just the color of an empty fantasy
Something that we think of
Something that we need
Time knows all our answers
But the present portrays a few shaded words of please
It takes two hands to make a strong hold
Just one grasp and the ink unfolds
Two touches to erase the cold winter nights
One lovers moon and one morning light

If You Have A Dream
Don't wait for some distant day to come,
it may be too late before you've even begun.
Not everyone will agree with all you decide.
Be true to yourself first and foremost.
The only important thing in life is what
you do with the time you spend here on earth.
Don't cloud today with things that can't
be undone. You have no more control over
yesterday or tomorrow, than you do the raging
of your passions.
Do not quiet these dreams
nor quench your desires. For if you do,
your journey is ended.
You have only today to begin anew and
follow your dreams. For in the end all
we have are our memories.
When the twilight comes to us, let there
be, no excuses, no explanations,
no regrets!
~Author Unknown~
I can understand now how blind people fall in love...
They "see" the spirit and the soul of the person
they fall in love with.
What's on the outside doesn't matter...
Promise
I can taste the day
When you and I shall meet
I can smell the roses
Of this time we desperately need
I can hold the dreams
And never let them go
I can cry with joy at the echos
Of our goodbyes and our final hello
I can heed the danger
And cast it off like a breeze
I can live life to the fullest
If I have your love to surround me
I can color my heart what color is needed
And always believe in you and me
For no one knows this lady
Like you and your love I breathe
In the darkness we come out together
Holding hands into the light
It is our world I live for
And I will never give up the fight
Just two people with a vision
And a vow of love to kiss
I will be here waiting
For you and your promise.
I Promise...
This Woman and This Man
Clay Walker
Been tryin' so hard just to talk to you
Haven't heard half of what you want me to
I hurt so bad over where we've been
Don't know how not to go back there again
I know what I wanna say
Can I get it through to you now
In some other way...like
There was this woman and there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance
to hold on to what they had
How could they be so in love
and still never see
Now nothin' could be sadder than
This woman this woman and this man
A stranger's eyes in a lover's face
See no signs of a better time and place
Have we lost the key to an open door
I feel the need to reach out to you even more
It's a circle we're goin' 'round
If we don't get us out from under
It's gonna take us down...see
There was this woman and there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance
to hold on to what they had
How could they be so in love
and still never see
Now nothin' could be sadder than
This woman this woman and this man
For all we've got to lose there's so much to gain
If we come this far and leave it behind
There's only you and me to blame...see
There was this woman and there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance
to hold on to what they had
How could they be so in love
and still never see
Yeah we can get it back again
This woman this woman and this man
Yeah we can bring it back again
This woman this woman and this man
I cannot see you but I know you
I cannot touch you but I feel you
I cannot hear you but i'm listening
There is an ocean between us,
But you are here with me
You are hours behind me,
Yet the time is the same
When my glass is empty
And my ashtray is full
I shall stay
"Torn"
Jeanna Plaster
Although we are separated by miles,
and torn apart by an ocean,
my heart recognizes no boundaries.
Although I feel as one with you,
the world whispers "two"
I simply refuse to listen.
Although I am lonely tonight
and you cannot hold my hand,
I know inside you are with me.
Although my body is aching for you
and there is no end in sight,
I have to hope against reason.
Although you are there and I am here
somehow we connected,
and for that I will be eternally grateful
The Risks of Loving
There is a risk involved in everything.
Every time you share a smile,
Every time you shed a tear,
You are opening yourself up to hurt.
Some people tread slowly through life,
Avoiding the closeness risk brings,
Sidestepping the things they can't understand,
Turning away from those who care too much,
Those who care too long,
Those who hold too tightly.
There is never an easy way to love.
You cannot approach it cautiously.
It will not wait for you to arm yourself.
It does not care if you turn away.
It is everywhere, it is everything.
Love is the greatest of all risks.
It is not reliable, it is not cautious,
It is not sympathetic.
It is unprejudiced and unmerciful.
It strikes the strongest of mind.
And brings them to their knees in one blow.
Even in the best of times, love hurts.
It hurts to need, it hurts to belong,
It hurts to be the other part of someone else,
Without either of your consent,
But, from the moment it overtakes you,
It hurts worse to be alone.

A Time To Believe
To believe is to know that every
day is a new beginning.
It is to trust that miracles happen,
and dreams really do come true.
To believe is to see angels
dancing among the clouds
To know the wonder of a stardust
sky and the wisdom of the
man in the moon.
To believe is to know the value
of a nurturing heart,
The innocence of a child's eyes and
the beauty of an aging hand, for it
is through their teachings
we learn to love.
To believe is to find the strength
and courage that lies within us.
When it is time to pick up
the pieces and begin again.
To believe is to know we are not alone,
That life is a gift and this is our
time to cherish it.
To believe is to know that wonderful
surprises are just waiting to happen,
And all our hopes and dreams
are within reach.
"If only we believe"

"Those we love can never be more than a thought apart.
For as long as there is memory they'll live on in the heart"
Acceptance
Acceptance means you can find the serenity within
to let go of the past with it mistakes and regrets
and move into the future with a new perspective
and appreciation of the opportunity
to take a second chance.
Acceptance means you'll find security again; even
when difficult times come into your life,
and comfort to relieve any pain.
You'll find new dreams, fresh hopes
and forgiveness of the heart.
Acceptance does not mean you will always be perfect.
It simply means you'll overcome imperfection.
Acceptance is the road to peace.
Letting go of the worst,
holding on to the best,
and finding the hope inside
that continues through life.
Acceptance is the heart's best defense,
love's greatest asset and the easiest
way to keep believing in yourself
and others.
Life can be beautiful
If you Accept it!!!
Touch My Heart
Touch my heart and I'll touch yours
With a gentle word or two,
For kindness bears the sweetest fruit
That makes our dreams come true.
Touch my life with tenderness
And fill my cup with love.
Share my dreams as I share yours
Beyound the stars above.
Take my hand as I grow old
And lead me when I'm blind.
Show me that you really care...
Good Friends are hard to find.
Touch my heart and I'll touch yours
A little more each day
And then we both find happiness
Somewhere along the way.

Dreams
Don't ever stop dreaming your dreams
They're a very essential part of you.
Do whatever you can to make them a reality.
By the course you take,
the plans you make...
and all the things you do.
Don't dwell on past mistakes...
leave yesterday behind you.
Along with all of its problems,
worries and doubts.
Do realize that you can't change the past,
but just ahead is the future...
And you Can do something about that!
Don't try to accomplish everything at once,
life can be difficult enough...
Without adding frustration to the list.
Do travel one step at a time
and reach for one goal at a time.
That's the way to find out what real
accomplishment is.
Don't be afraid to try the impossible...
even if others don't think you'll succeed.
Do remember that history is filled
with incredible accomplishments...
Of those that others thought were
foolish enough to Believe.
And yet they did!
Don't forget that there are many things
that are Wonderful, Rare and Unique about You!
Follow Your Destiny
~ Vicki Silvers ~
There comes a time in your life when you realize
that if you stand still, you will remain at this point forever.
You realize that if you fall and stay down,
life will pass you by.
Life's circumstances are not always
what you might wish them to be.
The pattern of life does not
necessarily go as you plan.
Beyond any understanding, you may at times
be led in different directions
that you never imagined, dreamed, or designed.
Yet if you had never put any
effort into choosing a path, or tried to carry out your dream,
then perhaps you would have no direction at all...
Rather than wondering about or questioning
the direction your life has taken,
accept the fact that there is a path
before you now. Shake off the "why's"
and "what if's," and rid yourself of confusion.
Whatever was ~ is in the past.
Whatever is ~ is what's important.
The past is a brief reflection.
The furure is yet to be realized.
Today is here.
Walk your path one step at a time ~ with courage,
faith, and determination. Keep your head up,
and cast your dreams to the stars.
Soon your steps will become firm,
and your footing will be solid again.
A path that you never imagined
will become the most comfortable direction
you could have ever hoped to follow.
Keep your belief in yourself
and walk into your new journey.
You will find it magnificent, spectacular,
and beyond your wildest imaginings.
Don't Shut Life Out
No-one can know your emotions and thoughts,
No-one can feel your pain,
No-one sees the tears that fall in the night,
Silent and lonely like rain.
No-one knows how you regret all you've lost,
And all that will now never be,
No-one can feel how it is to be trapped,
In a body that won't let you fly free.
But listen with your soul,as we talk with our hearts,
Let Friendship and loving surround you.
Enveloped in warmth from people who care,
Soothing and flowing around you.
Gifts are easy to give, but hard to accept,
Bitterness caused by rejection,
Accept this friendship as it has been given,
Not in pity, but with loving admiration.

Let's Make A Deal
You forgive me for liking you too much,
And I'll forgive you for not liking me enough.
You forgive me for missing you so,
And I'll forgive you for being so cold.
You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,
And I'll forgive you for not hearing it.
You forgive me for playing your games,
And I'll forgive you for toying with my emotions.
You forgive me for finding you so attractive,
And I'll forgive you for not noticing.
You forgive me for raising you up so high,
And I'll forgive you for bringing me down so low.
You forgive me for wanting to be with you,
And I'll forgive you for avoiding me.
You forgive me for being so pathetic,
And I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.
You forgive me for not being able to let go,
And I'll forgive you for never having latched on.
You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
And I'll forgive you for crushing them.
Forgiveness brings inner peace.
Do we have a deal?
"Sometimes we tend to be in despair when the person we love leaves us,
but the truth is, it's not our loss, but theirs,
for they left the only person who wouldn't give up on them."
Mike,
I Am Me..
Accept me as I am
I have no guarantee
A claim to perfection I have not...
Perfect I cannot be
I, like you.. am human
Prone to make mistakes...
Failure is not a character flaw
Just a part of the human makeup
I live, I laugh and I also learn
My knowledge is incomplete
I am searching all the time
in waking hours as well as sleep
I have a long road to travel...
as well as you do...
We learn our lessons on the way
Accept me as I am Because I am..me
And you are you!
No one like me in the world
That is my only guarantee!!
I am just me!
Distant Dreams
I reach for you and yet
cannot touch you
I yell and you cannot hear
I run to you and yet I stay still
I move one step towards you
and yet I move two steps away
I want you and yet cannot have you
valkyrie 2000
I may not understand fancy words
I may not have the words to always keep you going
I could learn the meaning of your fancy words
maybe read on things to keep you going.
Doing all those things
doesn't mean you will
stay with me.
It just means you will find something
else for me to learn.
~China~
Always
Believe in YOU.
Listen to your heart.
Trust your instincts.
Know you CAN.
See your own strengths.
Dream it - dare it.
DO what you are afraid of.
Keep the faith.
Follow your vision.
Remember
ANYTHING is possible
if only you believe.
I'm Sorry
Kat Mcquaid
I didn't mean to push
I didn't mean to pry
I just wanted to be sure
You wouldn't tell a lie
If you wanted to be with me
It had to be your choice
I knew it couldn't be an act
In which you had no voice
As long as you know what you want
And you are honest and true
I will always wait around
For my chance to be with you
I know that while you take your time
To sort your heart and mind
That time might work against me
And leave me here to find
That you've decided to turn away
And not give me a chance
But you know what you have to do
To find your own romance
Just let me know once you figure out
What you've decided to do
I'll give you all the time you need
Just remember.....I'm here for you
