Before I Leave This World
Before I leave this world, I want to experience life’s pleasures
To feel the warm sand under my naked feet and smell the fresh ocean air
I see double, both the light and the dark, and the beings they consume
Some individuals rush towards the water; others run indoors
Their behavior confuses me, though it can’t be held against them
Warm seems the candle to one who has never felt the sun.
Before I leave this world, I want to see every color of nature
To smell the sweet scent of wild flowers and to drink the cool mountain water
I see the leaves change colors dramatically, from vibrant green to shimmering gold
Some leaves fall to the ground; others manage to hang on for longer
Their destiny is at the mercy of the wind; whether it be a gentle breeze or a ferocious storm
I pity those without the gift of seeing in color.
Before I leave this world, I want to worship God’s temple to me
To take in the feeling of being one as I make sweet love
I see past the physical flaws and marvel at the beauty and purity of the soul
Some individuals view the act as sacred; others take it for granted
My integrity is a blooming flower and will never be corrupted
Others are merely left with an empty stem.
The time has come, I’m ready to leave this world
I’ve lived my life to the fullest and I have no regrets
I say farewell to my loved ones on Earth, and soon will reunite with the ones I’ve lost
I don’t know what lies on the other side, yet I’ve found my peace
A light surrounds me as I walk forward
Whatever lies on the other side, a new journey will begin.
To feel the warm sand under my naked feet and smell the fresh ocean air
I see double, both the light and the dark, and the beings they consume
Some individuals rush towards the water; others run indoors
Their behavior confuses me, though it can’t be held against them
Warm seems the candle to one who has never felt the sun.
Before I leave this world, I want to see every color of nature
To smell the sweet scent of wild flowers and to drink the cool mountain water
I see the leaves change colors dramatically, from vibrant green to shimmering gold
Some leaves fall to the ground; others manage to hang on for longer
Their destiny is at the mercy of the wind; whether it be a gentle breeze or a ferocious storm
I pity those without the gift of seeing in color.
Before I leave this world, I want to worship God’s temple to me

A light surrounds me as I walk forward
Whatever lies on the other side, a new journey will begin.

Dreams Of Passion
Softly she hears her lover call her name,
Slowly she walks to him without any shame.
Passion takes hold, Passions not one they lack.
As he slowly moves his hand down the small of her back.
He whispers something in her ear that she understood.
Temperature was rising,
Her heart begins to beat fast,
As she gasped for air!
He continued to slowly make his way down,
Now kissing from her neck and slowly more down.
She could not breath!
Passion gets out of control,
There was no stopping them!
Then in the distance,
She hears someone else calling her name.
Sadly she wakes.
It was her mother!
She sighed as she arose from bed.
It was only a dream!
Slowly she walks to him without any shame.

What you do to me
Oh what you do to me
You have my heart filled with love
My mind filled with thoughts
My world filled with happiness
My days filled with joy
My feeling all of love
My longings are all for you
All my dreams are filled with glory
That God only knew
All my days are spent waiting
And wanting only you
All the love I have
I give freely to you
Yes for you and only you
Oh what you do to me
You have my heart filled with love
My mind filled with thoughts
My world filled with happiness
My days filled with joy
My feeling all of love
My longings are all for you
All my dreams are filled with glory
That God only knew
All my days are spent waiting
And wanting only you
All the love I have
I give freely to you
Yes for you and only you
Oh what you do to me

Only yesterday
Last day lost time so many regrets
So many mistakes so many lost bets
I wish I could go back and start all over again
So much sunshine and I've lived in the rain
I'm sorry to the ones I hurt I apologise
I wish I never bought tears to so many eyes
Crying dieing the world fading away
Nomore tomorrow only yesterday
So many mistakes so many lost bets
I wish I could go back and start all over again
So much sunshine and I've lived in the rain
I'm sorry to the ones I hurt I apologise
I wish I never bought tears to so many eyes
Crying dieing the world fading away
Nomore tomorrow only yesterday
