WHERE'S THE JOY OF Love?
WHERE'S THE JOY OF LOVE?
Love's not to exploit but give
what you have or even more
as your aim is to behold
whom you love is full of cheer.
Life for you will have one aim
not to live it for yourself
but to make that whom you love
see what's charming in it's folds.
Life gets hard for you to live.
Where is joy that love can grant?
There's no joy you chase for self
but for whom you fear their sighs.
Love is not a piece of sweet
that confers on you delight.
It's a burden causing pain ...

THE LOVE THAT BUILDS A HOME
THE LOVE THAT BUILDS A HOME
I think that God wants all mankind
to do exactly as Christ said,
"Those whom God joined none can divide
as both become not two but one."
They see their children represent
what their dad or mum really has
either in their forms or their traits,
which makes them get more strongly tied.
They both consider their dear mates
their treasure that can move their souls
and want to give their hearts and minds
to see the other satisfied.
Where else can...

DIRTY SEX LEADS ASTRAY.
DIRTY SEX LEADS ASTRAY.
How can a person love and cause
a serious harm to his own dear?
They go to bed and know their act
is urged by evil, their main foe.
What they commit will pass so fast,
but it immerses them in dirt
that blocks the rays of joy and light
which take them up to supreme heights.
This light can clear the way of saints
that leads to mirth so cool and wise
which gives them samples of a life
a person can meet in the skies.
When sex can lead a pair astray,
it destroys them and kills their...

UNSEEN BUT TRUSTWORTHY
UNSEEN BUT TRUSTWORTHY
I love the people all as they
are hopeless and don't know their way.
They look for something that gives hope
but find in front what yields despair.
They are the flock who are quite lost.
They're far from home, and it is dusk.
They pray for someone who can lead
their stumbling footsteps ere it's dark.
They seek a shepherd they can see,
but none lives there except some wolves.
They direct them to their dark cave
to slay and eat, then lick their blood.
The shepherd that gives them repose ...

SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY
SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY
The world still has some people who believe
in that pure life in which Saint Valentine
was keen on seeing spouses would attain
the life which was so full of Jesus' bliss.
It is the way that keeps their love aflame
and joins them from the moment when it starts.
It is the kind of love that will increase
till it becomes the lord of the two hearts.
The two will get like one. None can divide
as each will see their duty in the world
through what the other needs to have a smile
and when it shows itself, he...

HAPPIER THAN YOU IMAGINE
HAPPIER THAN YOU IMAGINE
Is your love for those around you
just for some-time or forever?
If it's just for worldly periods
cruel is death for minded mankind.
How can you depart with all those
who have left you to your sorrow?
What can compensate that feeling
if no meeting is to follow?
What's your hope if you are walking
to a change that makes you nothing?
From mere nothing to another
never gives you satisfaction.
Man, you're walking to that pleasure
where you'll meet your sublime Father,
Who has made...

ONLY IN THAT MAN AND GOD
ONLY IN THAT MAN AND GOD
Where can we find the greatest hope
in this so vast and endless world?
We need support for this hard life
and just in Him it can be found.
When children are afraid, they go
to parents, their secure resort.
They get so fond of those great two
until they turn white-haired and old.
Who can achieve the parents' role
except Who came to earth and wept.
He cured the sick and raised the dead
and had no cushion for His head.
He gave the people bread to eat
and wine to drink...

JESUS, THE GREATEST MAN EVER [ AS A MAN, NOT AS A GOD]
JESUS, THE GREATEST MAN EVER [ AS A MAN, NOT AS A GOD]
Lamb of God, You knew Your killers,
and You knew what they intended,
but Your love could stay as burning
till Your death and not affected.
You could teach the deepest lesson
from the start till our present.
Those who wished to see You suffer
Continued to be Your brothers.
I adore the people who can
offer something of great value.
Ere the Passion, You could conquer
with Your angels those offenders.
On the cross your love was heartfelt.

MY ONLY AIM

I look for You in merry dreams
as Your existence makes them bright.
My search can fill my heart with joy
because Your face is my delight.
I search for You within the day;
the sun is up and sends me light
to make my eyes and heart so pleased
when l expect to see Your sight.
I want to be alive since life
can yield the hope to spot Your face
as when l meet You l fulfill
the goal that makes me sing and dance.
I search for You and kindly ask
Your tender heart to do the same.

YOUR ANSWERS GRATIFY ME.
YOUR ANSWERS GRATIFY ME.
Why don't you answer me, my dearest friends?
Are you quite satisfied with your own lives?
Do you find all your care exists in fun?
Does not your end create a sense of doubt?
Are you so sure of what this life can mean?
Have you discovered what you need from it?
Are you performing all what you're supposed
to do and going where you'll find full rest?
I love you all and think you are elites.
You think and write what is so deep and wise.
You are the guides who lead confiding sheep.

HAVE YOU GOT AN ANSWER?
HAVE YOU GOT AN ANSWER?
We need something in this cruel world
that makes us feel a sort of rest.
Where can we find it in our lives?
We are all lost and seek a trace.
The way that leads to cool our blood
that scalds our hearts and wears our veins
is found in drinks to soothe and calm
and cheer the hearts with drizzling rain.
I envy those whose blood is cold
and rules the fears the world provokes.
Where can their blood bring calmness from?
Tell me, l'll not forget my debt.

WE'RE AWAITING CHRISTMAS.
WE'RE AWAITING CHRISTMAS.
Greatest hope to mankind will occur
in that cave faraway from the rich.
He's the king of all kings and He'll start
His own life in a cave shepherds have.
He conceives that His task is so hard.
They will end His short life on a cross,
and the start will be poor with no cash,
but He's pleased; His soul lives to no end.
He'll tell man nothing can spoil the glee;
a poor life, a harsh end won't bring fear
as man knows that his soul has no end
in a place full of calmness and peace.
Come, my...
