POETRY
For You
When I pray I pray for you
When I sing I sing for you
When cry I cry for you
And when I dream I dream of you
When the sun is high It warms my skin
When the moon is full I look within
When the rain comes it refreshes me
And the stars above let me see...
The beauty in your sky blue eyes
The sweet within where glory lies
The holy love
inside
your soul
Makes me happy
and keeps
me whole

Legacy of a Madman
A beautiful flower so broken and bent
Legacy of a Madman , insane and hell-bent
Dug at your soul and infected your mind
Dark days of danger , no peace to find
Sometimes it's there then it's gone like the wind
Feel so afraid , when the madness , begins
God gave you courage to leave that madman
You went through your changes , your heart made its stand
Now it is sure you are physically free
But feelings take longer , to let go and bleed
Sometimes it's there , then it's gone like the wind
Feel so afraid , when the memories , begin
Noone's to judge you for where you are at
You were the victim , no doubt about that
To us you're a flower and always will be
A joy in our life , a treasure to keep
But sometimes it's there , then it's gone like the wind
Feel so much hate , when the memories , begin

BRAVE YOUNG SOLDIERS
Brave young soldiers I cry for you
I know the truths you hold to be true
I know the feeling when pump out your chests
I know you will die, so we can rest
Brave young soldiers I cry for you
In a lifetime passed you know I was you
You follow the orders given to you
It’s not yours to question, just yours to do
Brave young soldiers
I cry.…….
For you
Brave young soldiers I cry for you
What your leaders say I know is not true
They’re getting rich while they send you to war
And fighting for freedom, ain’t what it’s for
Brave young soldiers
I cry……
For you
Brave young soldiers I cry for you
And know I will always stand behind you
I’ll support you, praise you, I’ll salute you
But mostly brave soldiers, I’ll cry for you
Brave young soldiers
I cry…….
For you
Light of Love
The darkest time of my life is when we're fighting
And our bodies lie in bed too far apart
Nothing seems right when this is happening
And the light of love leaves our beating hearts
Been so long together we'll never part
And this fighting's just a flight from our hearts
We'll return and the light of love will shine
And soon I'll recall, you always will be mine
Why this silly disruption of our lives
Why turn our souls from the light
Why act like we never loved before
When we know, noone's walking out the door
The darkest time of my life
Is when we're fighting

Lying In Melancholy
Lying in melancholy
Thinking of you
Caressing each thought
As love tingles within
Be patient my flower
Tho time moves slowly
It does not move back
Only to the future
And bright horizons!

My Lady
I thought that in my whole life
I'd never settle down
Alone along the by-ways
My head down to the ground
Then I came upon a lady
With eyes like the sun
She looked at me and I could see
I found my own true love
She's my Lady
She's my own true love
Now we travel down the by-ways
Of life as it goes
Through thick and thin we just hang in
Where else would we go
She's my Lady
She's my own true love

RAINBOW OF MAN
I have seen men,
Women and children
Of many different colors
Playing together
And it was
Oh yes it was
So beautiful.
God made man
As He made His universe
And assortment of beauty
To blend together
And harmonize
As one
Oh I have been blessed
To have seen such beauty
But my heart cries to see
The world as it was meant to be
A rainbow
A rainbow of Man
A rainbow of love
A rainbow of peace
Of beauty
And harmony
A rainbow
A rainbow
A rainbow of Man
ONE RACE
We all breathe.
We all laugh.
We all cry.
We all suffer.
We all experience joy,
Grief and sadness.
Loneliness and gladness.
We all bleed red.
We all shed tears.
We all have mothers,
Fathers and siblings.
Children and friends.
We all feel.
We are all real.
We are all one.
One race!
One wonderfully diverse
Race.
With many different colors,
Flavors and textures.
And we all meet
With our hearts
And our souls.
For we all breathe.
We all laugh.
And we all cry.
TRUTH
We write only in truth.
For without truth there is nothing.
We sing from our hearts and souls,
for that is the only way the voice
can resonate and be heard.
Words are light that beams the
message that cries out from our being.
The music carries and gives life and vibrancy
to the words.
And they become one…..
the music, the words ,
the voice, the heart,
and the soul!
OLD INDIAN
He searched all the mountains
He searched all the seas
He searched all the churches
And he searched endlessly
He searched endlessly
He meditated deeply
On the sun and the stars
He even searched deeply
Inside a bottle in the bars
Inside a bottle in the bars
But he never found nothing’
Searching that way
He only found something’
When he searched himself
And he found himself a body
He found himself a mind
He found himself a soul
And he found enough to find
And he found enough to find
And he found more nothing’
Searching’ that a way
And he saw a lot of something’
When he searched himself
AMOR
Now you have
Tears of joy.
Now your life is
Happy!
With amor……
All is warm like
The morning sun.
All sparkles like
A shining river.
You have the right to amor.
Claim it,
Enjoy it,
Savor it.
For it is yours……
Siempre!
Bilingual Writers and Poets for Peace presents:
LA PAZ
POR
BOB VICTOR SCHWEITZER
La paz no la guerra
Es buena
Es buena
El dolor
De la madre
Por su hijo
Perdido
En batalla que lastima
La guerra es mala
Es mala
Dios llora
Muchas lágrimas
Triste porque
Sus niños pelean
Sobre nada, sobre nada
Llorando también
Llorando también
La paz no la guerra
Es buena
Es buena
Es buena

EL DOLOR DEL CORAZÓN
Dilema agridulce, dilema agridulce El dolor del corazón enamorado un dilema agridulce. Porque tiene alegría Alegría con tristeza, Serenidad con dolor, Y amargura con dulzura! Amor es de la vida. Dolor es de la vida. Los dos inflama el alma, con pasíon de fuego Dilema agridulce, dilema agridulce El dolor del corazón Emamorado Un dilema agridulce Un dilema agridulce Dilema agridulce
DAY DREAM Day dream of you Sweet fantasy Kissing your lips Soft touch caress Lay down with you Moving as one Hearts beating strong Warm as the sun Dream of the night All of the day Inside my mind Your passion stays Sing in the sunlight Love shines on me Soul of my life Your heart beats in me Bridled desire Burns in my veins Aching for you Drives me insane Dream of the night All of the day Inside my mind Your passion stays Soñando de la noche Todo el día Dentro mi mente Tu pasión se queda
