With Your Breath I’m Scorched

Your kisses are whispers, so silent and mild,
retelling me stories that I refuse to hear
in the coldest night. And they run me wild,
as the rest of world threats to disappear.

And in your embrace I’ve found the only warmth;
I’ve put it all I am in your emerald eyes.
With your sigh I’m dwelled, with your breath I’m scorched,
and my soul, so lame, inside of your lies.

Whenever You’re Not There

You shouldn’t ever let me go.
You have misdone – I didn’t know
that you have only needed help
to save your mind and save yourself.
I couldn’t even understand
that I won’t lose you in the end;
I was so wounded by my shame
and when it hurts – you have no name.

So, if you love me – let me know,
heal me up before I go.
I couldn’t save myself a thought;
I longed for all I’ve never got.
And all that’s left is just my lust.
Don’t let me think about the past;
heal me up, make me rebear.
You have killed me long ago,
but I die again whenever you’re not there.

My Scars

I know it, that, sometimes, I’ve not been the best,
that you used to hate me as you loved the sun.
I used to hide my face in an empty chest
and I wept upon the promises undone.

I know it, that I once tried to change us both,
but I only failed, it was my mistake,
‘cause we both were perfect, we could never loathe-
we just loved the fact that we will never break.

I know it, that I always seem to show my scars,
to shed them again in front of your face,
but I just wish to fly, so high above the scars,
hand in hand with you and healed by your grace.

Through the Never

As the days circle in yet another way,
cold rain falls and scorches with my face.
Though I wanna leave, I beg you, let me stay
sentenced inside a never better place.

As I find this world a frustrating fiction,
I’m waiting for a time when I can freely prey.
You’re my consolation, eternal addiction,
monument of peace that’ll never pass away.

All the days are sold to someone else’s father,
master of the pawns that accept his game.
That’s the only thing I will never bother:
may I lose it all – at least I’ll save my name.

None of us was born on their command,
so we won’t let them lead us through the never.
The world is drop of ice in grain of sand,
but you and me are flames that last forever.

Alexander Pushkin

A Moment to Remember


A magic moment I remember:
I raised my eyes and you were there.
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that's beautiful and rare.

I pray to mute despair and anguish
To vain pursuits the world esteems,
Long did I near your soothing accents,
Long did your features haunt my dreams.

Time passed- A rebel storm-blast scattered
The reveries that once were mine
And I forgot your soothing accents,
Your features gracefully divine.

In dark days of enforced retirement
I gazed upon grey skies above
With no ideals to inspire me,
No one to cry for, live for, love.

Then came a moment of renaissance,
I looked up- you again are there,
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that`s beautiful and rare.

[One day I wrote her name upon the strand]

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay
A mortal thing so to immortalize!
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eek my name be wiped out likewise.
Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame:
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
And in the heavens write your glorious name;
Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,
Our love shall live, and later life renew.

Edmund Spenser

George Gordon, Lord Byron

She Walks in Beauty

1

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
2

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
3

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Sade - By Your Side

You think I'd leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees
I wouldn't do that

I'll tell you you're right when you want
And if only you could see into me

Oh when you're cold, I'll be there
Hold you tight to me

When you're on the outside baby and you can't get in
I will show you, you're so much better than you know
When you're lost and you're alone and you cant get back again
I will find you darling and I will bring you home

And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
And in no time, you'll be fine

You think I'd leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think id leave you down when you're down on your knees
I wouldn't do that

I'll tell you you're right when you want
And if only you could see into me

Oh when you're cold, I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh when you're low
I'll be there by your side baby

Oh when you're cold, I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh when you're low
I'll be there by your side baby

Lauryn Hill - Ex-Factor

It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way?
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin', It ain't workin' (No, it ain't workin')
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy (This is crazy, uh-huh!)

I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself?
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we've got to do
You let go, and I'll let go too
'Cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will

No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin', It ain't workin' (It ain't workin' !)
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy
Care for me, care for me!
I know you care for me!
There for me, there for me!
Said you'd be there for me!
Cry for me cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Give to me give to me
Why won't you live for me
Where were you when I needed you

Stolen Child

Lyrics by W.B. Yeats; music by Loreena McKennitt

Where dips the rocky highland
Of sleuth wood in the lake
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water rats
There we've hid our fairy vats
Full of berries
And of reddest stolen cherries.

Come away oh human child
To the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand

Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim grey sands with light
By far off furthest rosses
We foot it all the night
Weaving olden dances
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles
Whilst the world is full of troubles
And is anxious in its sleep.

Come away oh human child
To the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above glen car
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams

Come away oh human child
To the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand

Away with us he's going
The solemned eyed
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace unto his breast
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal chest.

For he comes, the human child
To the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand.

Hillsong - You

As I pray, and wait upon the Lord
I know your grace and now i am restored.
As i think of all you've done for me
A mystery of your love

Who walked upon the sea?
Who lived to die for me?

You, Lord
You, Lord
You Are Lord

As I look upon who I am changed
Though I Fail Your Faithful Love Remain.
As I sing and worship you found again
No Words Describe Your Love

Who watches over me?
Who's love has covered me?

You, Lord
You, Lord
You Are Lord

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Almighty One
There is none like you

There is none like you.....

Hillsong - Emmanuel

Together in this place of worship
Your greatness we proclaim
We stand as one in giving You
All glory and acclaim

To You our hearts are open
To You our hands we raise
Come take the place
Of honor in our lives

Emmanuel
Our God is with us
Prince of peace
Mighty one
The ever-living God

See the praises of our savior
Rise to open skies
With the dawning of redemption
Your glory will arise
For You alone are worthy
Here in Zion you are praised
Our Lord and King
Forever You will reign

Emmanuel
Our God is with us
Prince of peace
Mighty one
The ever-living God

william blake - the garden of love
(omiljeni deo)

I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.
