I have met an angel
I have met an angel,
She's been grounded from the sky,
I hold her in my arms,
I will never know why

I have met an angel,
All the shades of white,
Bringing out her beauty,
She's ready to take flight

I have met an angel,
She's right here beside me,
Wrapped warmly in my arms,
Could she be able to see

I have met an angel,
I love her with all my heart,
Now that we are together,
I never want to part
            Sebastian Issawi

But I choose to love still

Though heart might fail me and the battle be lost,

A Rose For You
A rose of white means memories.
A rose of yellow, friends.

But can picture in my head.
The outer petals are yellow and white,
The inner ones are red.

I can't prevent it.

My death for your death--
A part of me will die when you do.

There's another skin inside my skin
That gathers to your touch, a lake to the light;
That looses it's memory, it's lost language
Into your tongue,
Erasing me into nowness.

The way of knowing itself,
The second skin continues to answer.
            Anne Micheals

To the lands I knew before you came,
And the cool ocean breezes shall blow from me
The memory of your name.

And it always will be,
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!

That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!

Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace!

Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with it's heart
And not with it's mind!

That everyone seeks-
Love is the language
That everyone speaks-

Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love like pure magic
Is a sweet mystery!

Some say love it is the river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need.
I say love it is a flower
and you, its only seed.
--
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live.
--
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love in the spring
becomes the rose.....

 

Promises Kept
I can't promise we will live in a castle -
but we will always live in a "home"
I can't promise we will be rich -
but we will have what money can't buy
I can't promise we won't disagree -
but I can promise both sides will be heard
I can't promise that every day will be perfect -
but I know there will always be tomorrow
I can't promise other people will stand by you -
but I will never leave your side
I can't promise our love will be perfect -
but I promise my love will never be far away.
            Tricia Despres
 

I Have Met An Angel
I have met an angel,
She's been grounded from the sky,
I hold her in my arms,
I will never know why
I have met an angel,
All the shades of white,
Bringing out her beauty,
She's ready to take flight
I have met an angel,
She's right here beside me,
Wrapped warmly in my arms,
Could she be able to see
I have met an angel,
I love her with all my heart,
Now that we are together,
I never want to part
            Sebastian Issawi
 

Give Thanks For The Night
Shadows dancing on the wall
Candle flickers with the wind
Soft music reaching every corner
Softness of skin held so close
Hearts pounding, breathing deep
Passion and fantasy intertwine
Trembling - Eyes closed - Lips touch
Arms surround the body and hold
Thunder explodes the night
Lighting cast shadows against the dark
Glisten bodies sparkle like jewels
Clouds race through the night
Rain splatters on window pane
New day borne for discovery
Sheets tangled - bodies exhausted
Eyes looking deep into my soul
Wanting and needing more-
More time for love- More time for us
Embrace the day - Give thanks for the night
            Jack
 

At morn--at noon--at twilight dim--
Maria! thou hast heard my hymn!
In joy and woe--in good and ill--
Mother of God, be with me still!
When the Hours flew brightly by,
And not a cloud obscured the sky,
My soul, lest it should truant be,
Thy grace did guide to thine and thee;
Now, when storms of Fate o'ercast
Darkly my Present and my Past,
Let my Future radiant shine
With sweet hopes of thee and thine!
 

A gift from someone you love, is the self and sacrifice, not the object.
And yet the object created from the soul has beauty - because it was created from the soul.
 

True love cannot be found where it does not exist. Nor can it be hidden where it does.
 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
            1 Corinthians, 13:4-7
 

The first duty of love is to listen.
            Paul Tillich
 

We are all angels with one wing and cannot soar without another to cling to..
 

You can’t light a candle to show others the way
Without feeling the warmth of that bright little ray…
And you can’t pluck a rose, all fragrant with dew,
Without part of it’s fragrance remaining with you.
            Helen Steiner Rice
 

There is a paradox to love: in making you whole, it cuts you in half.
 

What the mind sees clearly, the heart often clouds.
 

Love is a point that you reach in your life when you realise that someone else is more important than you are.
