My Favorite Poems and Song Lyrics

<bgsound src="http://www.netwalk.com/~bizay/midis/again.mid" autostart="true" hidden="false">

AGAIN by Janet Jackson

(Here are the lyrics to the song now playing)

I heard from a friend today and she said you were in town

Suddenly the memories came back to me in my mind

How can I be strong I've asked myself, time and time I've said

That I'll never fall in love with you again

A wounded heart you gave, my soul you took away

Good intentions you had many... I know you did

I come from a place that hurts and God knows how I've cried

And I never want to return... never fall again

Making love to you felt so good and oh so right

How can I be strong I've asked myself, time and time I've said

That I'll never fall in love with you again

So here we are alone again, didn't think I'd come to this

And to know it all began with just a little kiss

I've come to close to happiness to have it swept away

Don't think I can take the pain... no, never fall again

Kinda late in the game and my heart is in your hands

Don't you stand there and tell me you love me, and then leave again

Cuz I'm falling in love with you again

Hold me... hold me... don't ever let me go...

Say it just one time, say you love me

God knows I do love you, again

PHENOMENAL WOMAN by Maya Angelou

(a poem from the motion picture "Poetic Justice")

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies... I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size. But when I start to tell them, they think I'm telling lies... I say its the reach of my arms, the span of my hips, the stride in my step and the curl of my lips... I'm a woman, phenomenally... Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

I walk into a room just as cool as you please... And to a man, the fellows stand or they fall down to their knees. Then they swarm around me like a hive of honeybees... I say its the fire in my eyes, the flash of my teeth, the swing in my waist and the joy in my feet... I'm a woman, phenomenally... Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

Men themselves have wondered what they see in me... they try so much but they can't touch my inner mystery. When I try to show them, they still can't see... I say its the arch in my back, the sun in my eyes, the rise of my breast and the grace of my style... I'm a woman, phenomenally... Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

Now you understand just why my head's not bowed... I don't have to shout or jump about or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing, it outta make you proud... I say its the click of my heels, the bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, the need for my care... I'm a woman, phenomenally...Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

At Your Best (You Are Love) by The Isley Brothers

(Re-recorded by Aaliyah)

When I feel what I feel sometimes its hard to tell you so

You may not be in the mood to learn what you think you know

There are times when I find you want to keep yourself from me

And I don't have the strength, I'm just a mirror of what I see

But at your best you are love

You're a positive motivating force within my life

Should you ever feel the need to wonder why...

Let me know... let me know...

When you feel what you feel, oh how hard for me to understand

So many things have taken place before this love affair began

But if you feel like I feel, confusion can give way to doubt

For there are times when I fall short of what I say, what I say I'm all about... all about...

But at your best you are love

You're a positive motivating force within my life

Should you ever feel the need to wonder why...

Let me know... let me know...

Tell me what it is... there's no need to make believe

Look beyond your world... and try to find, find a place for me

Cuz, at your best you are love...

Stay at your best baby

ANGELS

(a poem By John B aka harley)

what do angels look like

do they really have wings

are they there every second

do they complete our dreams

~

do they watch from a distance

always wanting to touch

crying with you dearly

wanting to help so much

~

do they show up in our dreams

and gently take our hands

knowing what is in our hearts

do they really understand

~

or do they only help

from just out of sight

keeping you warm and safe

getting you home everynight

~

to some they are unreal

and guardians to others

it is what is seen

to a newborn's mother

~

a sweet gift from God

she now holds in her hands

surly this is the work

of someone greater than man

~

so when i leave

for a place far away

i want to be an angel

for this i do pray

AMAZED by Lonestar

(Marv Green/Aimee Mayo/Chris Lindsey)

Every time our eyes meet

This feeling inside me

Is almost more than I can take

Baby when you touch me

I can feel how much you love me

And it just blows me away

I've never been this close to anyone or anything

I can hear your thoughts

I can see your dreams

I don't know how you do what you do

I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better

I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side

Forever and ever

Every little thing that you do

Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin

The taste of your kiss

The way you whisper in the dark

Your hair all around me, baby you surround me

You touch everyplace in my heart

Oh, it feels like the first time every time

I wanna spent the whole night in your eyes

I don't know how you do what you do

I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better

I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side

Forever and ever

Every little thing that you do

Baby I'm amazed by you

Every little thing that you do

I'm so in love with you

It just keeps getting better

I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side

Forever and ever

Every little thing that you do

Oh, every little thing that you do

Baby I'm amazed by you

FRIENDS BEFORE LOVERS

(a poem By John B aka harley)

If I could wish upon a star

I'd wish this night would never end

I'd wish for all my nights to be

Spent holding you my dear friend

~

You have a place in my heart

That you've touched like no other

We were the best of friends

Long before we became lovers

~

We took the step and never looked back

And I truely thank the day

When after I asked and the word yes

Was all that you could say

~

I still remember our first kiss

I laid it on the line

Catching both of us off guard

I realized that you were mine

~

We stood there looking

As our eyes never strayed

My hand touched your shoulder

Moving your hair from where it lay

~

My fingertips gently touched your face

And as I started to speak

You pulled me close to your chest

Saying your knees were getting weak

~

Then you softly kissed my neck

And whispered in my ear

That I was the one, the only one

You held in your heart so dear

~

From that moment on if you saw one

You'd surely see the other

And I know I'll never regret

Going from friends to lovers
