kiss of life

there must have been an angel by my side
something heavenly led me to you
look at the sky
it's the colour of love
there must have been an angel by my side
something heavenly came down from above
he led me to you

he built a bridge to your heart
all the way
how many tons of love inside
i can't say

when i was led to you
i knew you were the one for me
i swear the whole world could feel my heartbeat
when i lay eyes on you
ay ay ay
you wrapped me up in
the colour of love

you gave me the kiss that's like
the kiss of life

wasn't it clear from the start
look the sky is full of love
yeah the sky is full of love

he built a bridge to your heart
all the way
how many tons of love inside
i can't say

you gave me the kiss of life
kiss of life
you gave me the kiss that's like
the kiss of life

you wrapped me up in the colour of love
must have been an angel came down from above
giving me love

you gave me the kiss of life

lyrics by Sade

sometimes I wish

"Sometimes I wish that I was the weather, you'd bring me up in conversation forever. And when it rained, I'd be the talk of the day."
- John Mayer.

somebody do something

"today i just want someone to entertain me
i'm tired of being so fierce
i'm tired of being so friendly
you don't have to be a supermodel
to do the animal thing
you don't have to be a supergenius
to open your face up and sing

somebody do something
anything soon
i know i can't be the only
whatever i am in the room
so why am i so lonely?
why am i so tired?
i need backup
i need company
i need to be inspired"

"face up and sing" lyrics by ani di franco

why do i always have to be the one with the energy?
i like people who just call me up or come up to me
and tell me the craziest thing, anything!!
but i'm surrounded by boring people, it's scary!!!! :(

i wish i could jump into this picture and she was pointing at me :)

music, when soft voices die

i like to open my poetry book at random
and see what poem finds me or what poem i find :)


"Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory-
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heap'd for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on. "

Percy Bysshe Shelley

you and i both

Was it you who spoke the words
that things would happen but not to me
things are gonna happen naturally
I'm taking your advice
I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love
the love that I love.

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy
Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just dream of
And if you could see me now
Well I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I'm free, oh,
I'm free

And it's okay if you have to go away
just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang
Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of, finally,
well I'm almost finally
finally
finally
out of words.

"You and I Both" by Jason Mraz

love, big love or great love

(scene from a film i saw recently)

So the guy goes to the bar to drown his sorrows out after not finding the courage to tell the girl he loves how he feels about her. In all fairness, they both had something to say and he let her go first and she did, in where she excitedly revealed her plans to move out of town with another guy. She is completely unaware of this guy's feelings.

His sad face prompted the girl bartender to ask him what was wrong. He tells her how the love of his life will soon be gone and how he had lost her. She asks him, "Did you tell her how you feel?" He said he didn't because it felt pointless after what she had said. The bartender asks, "How much do you love her? Is it love, big love or great love?" He looked confused. (and so was i) and she says,

"if it's love, it lasts 2 months,
if it's big love, it lasts 2 years,
but if it's great love, it changes your life"

It was great love.
