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 you
if I was a singer 
I would sing the sweetest songs for you
If I was a painter
I would paint you more lofty than 
Da Vinci’s ‘Madonna’
 
If I was an eagle
You would be the wings upon which I soar
If I was a soldier
I would conquer the world for you
If I was a rose
You would be the perfume and splendour
That I radiate to the worrld
 
 
If I was a king
You would be my queen
If I was a sailor
You would be my captain
If I was a preacher
You would be my sermon
 
 
But I am just me
With nothing special
And nothing to my name
I don’t even know if I deserve your love
But here I am
All I am, is just a heart that loves you
And that is what life means to me
