LOVE CONQUERS EVERYTHING
Some people say;
“It is better to love and lose,
Than never to have loved at all”
But what they don’t realise
Is that he who truly loves is invincible.
He who truly loves never loses
Because love is Lord of
Heaven and earth.
A heart that is ravished by the magic of love
Is Lord of Heaven and Earth
Because Love conquers everything.

THE MAGIC OF LOVE
I do not ask you to notice me
I only rejoice at the blessing
Of beholding your amazing beauty;
I do not ask you to appretiate me
I only lose myself in the bliss
Of praising your magnificence;
I do not ask you to think of me
I only drink deep of the pure springs
That make me dream of you every night;
I do not ask you to talk about me
I only let my spirit soar
With the sweet songs I sing for you;
I do not ask you to live for me
I only worship this undeserved grace
By which I can lay down my life for you;
I do not ask you to love me
Because all that matters for all eternity
Is that my heart is ablaze with love for you.

LOVE
I am the flame that sets your heart on fire
I am the summit of the mountain you are climbing
I am the still small voice within
That is forever calling you to greater things
When you seek peace of mind
It is I who is caressing your soul
When you seek to be free
It is I who is giving wings to your spirit
I am the dream that you seek to achieve
I am the health that you wish to enjoy
I am the wealth that you desire to acquire
I am the life that you long to live
I am the kind and gentle friend
Who is always there, helping you
To believe in the miracle of you
And bring out the best in you
I am that warm and entrancing feeling
That you get, when you forgive
Someone that has wronged you-
Or when lying in the arms of your soul mate
When the voice of eternity calls you
And you leave the world and all its troubles
To embrace the indescribable bliss
Of the reality beyond
Then you have found me
And only then have you begun to live.

I LOVE YOU
I love you
And it comes straight from my soul
I love you
It may seem so easy to say the three words
I love you
But it takes the courage of three life times to say it
I love you
Because I have always loved you
I love you
And I vowed one day to let you know that I do
I love you
Though I don’t know what you might say
I love you
Even though I may not be your class
I love you
Even though you might dispise me
I love you
Even if I do not deserve you
I love you
Because I’ve been touched by the angel of love
I love you
Because all my fear is gone
I love you
Because beneath your unfriendly mask,
I say a human heart like mine that is desperate for love
I love you
Because I am not depending on any favour in return
I love you
Because I have nothing to gain or lose
I love you
Because all that matters is that I love you
I love you
Because love is it’s own reward
I love you
Because I am already blessed
Just to love you.

I LIVE AGAIN
I used to be blind
But now I see
I used to be deaf
But now I hear
I used to be dumb
But now I speak
I used to be harden
But now I feel
Your blazing light shines in my darkness
Your astonishing beauty illumines my soul
Your brilliant smile brightens my path
Your sweetness lifts my spirit
Your words inspire my mind
Your tender arms protect me
Your magic touch heals me
Your everlasting love fills me
With Heaven's bliss
Because you love me
I live again
Because I love you
I live forever.
MYSTERY
You invade my life
Like the sun hits the sky
You paint my being with joy
Like the stars flood the heavens with colour
No one ever took me into her heart
Like a mother takes her baby in her arms
No one ever showed me life could be so full
No one ever loved me the way you do
When I ask what is Life
I hear Life is God
When I ask who is God
I hear God is Love
When I ask what is Love
I find that Love is You
And when I ask, who then am I
It becomes so clear that
I am you and you are me
Life is a glorious mystery of
Two hearts merged into one,
That mystical unity being-God.
THE BREATH
First there was a statue of clay
Fashioned out of the earth
By the hands of the grand architect.
Then came the breath-
The Spirit of Life
That turned the clay into a living soul.
I am that soul that lives,
You are that Breath that makes me live;
That is why all nature mirrors your face
Yes, all beauty, all purity, all goodness
All strength, all inspiration, all achievement
All perfection, all life, all bliss...
They are the sacred waters gushing forth
From that Divine Fountain
Whose name rends my heart like thunder,
That name that I live to proclaim.
YOU
The air I breath is you,
The heart that beats within me is you,
The prayer I pray is you,
The song I sing is you;
You are my sleeping and my dreaming,
You are my aspiring and my believing,
You are my working and my succeeding,
You are my all in all, you are my being;
The meaning of my life is you,
My heaven and eternity is you,
The mystery of my being is you,
You are me and I am you.

MY ANGEL
My dear sister, I feel like writing all day,
but I know that no amount of words
will ever approach the magic of a single
heartbeat that is moved by your love.
You are enthroned upon my heart,
like the morning star is enthroned upon the heavens.
You are the one who gives my life a meaning.
That is why even when things seem rough,
I'm never moved, I never cry.
I smile always, because I know where I am going,
and I know that the end is already secured.
Where beauty, intelligence and godliness meet,
there an angel is born.
That is who you are.
And I know you'll forever be my queen,
my light, my guardian angel.
My love for you is larger than I,
larger than life.
All I can do is lose myself in its immensity,
and let its intensity be my life
You are my angel,
You are my life.
TAKE THIS LOVE
You are nature's most beautiful flower
More beautiful than the rainbow
You are life's most precious treasure
More costly than all the world's gold
I have no fear offering my life to you
Cos it is for you that I was born
And it is for you that I will die
My life and joy is in our love
Everything I do, I do for you
Every day I live, I live for you
Every where I go, I go for you
It is your love that leads me on
And I will forever be faithful
Cos I know not how else to thank you
For the boundless blessings
You've brought into my life
Take this love
Take all that I give to you
Take it, even if you do not understand
Love is the brightest of lights
Indeed, love is the only light
Love is the only life
ALL I AM
If I was a poet I would write the best poems for youif I was a singer I would sing the sweetest songs for youIf I was a painterI would paint you more lofty than Da Vinci’s ‘Madonna’ If I was an eagleYou would be the wings upon which I soarIf I was a soldierI would conquer the world for youIf I was a roseYou would be the perfume and splendourThat I radiate to the worrld If I was a kingYou would be my queenIf I was a sailorYou would be my captainIf I was a preacherYou would be my sermon But I am just meWith nothing specialAnd nothing to my nameI don’t even know if I deserve your loveBut here I amAll I am, is just a heart that loves you
