And I Miss You
I miss my Love the half of my whole
The one I love and want to behold
With Her again I yearn to be
And enjoy a togetherness that makes us happy
Its such a miserable day here today
Rain, rain and cloudy dull dark skies
A lonely, cold and damp feeling allover
Little depressing, oh! for the days of July
Weather be mindful of my concern
Go away rain, please go away soon
For bright day and light to return
The open skies with shining afternoon
I'll not let the weather get me down
Nor the loneliness of one half depress
Reassured that my love is always Her
And Her reciprocating love to me I'll bless
What manner of love do I possess?
Its confusing, controlling and somewhat cruel Twisting and turning the insides of me
Sometimes I feel like a simple fool
And the loneliness does persist
They say its only natural
Especially when love between two exists
Must I now rely on the supernatural?
Oh God of rain and God of light
And God of all that lives this life
Please look, look deep within our hearts
Never to keep my Dearest and me apart
My Dear I miss you the half of my whole
The one I love and want to behold
With You again I yearn to be
And enjoy a togetherness that makes us happy
If You Forget Me by Pablo Neruda
I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine
one thing.

Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Does it dry up

Maybe it just sags

Or does it explode?
Mother to Son by Langston Hughes
Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So, boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps.
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now—
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So, boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps.
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now—
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

Dream Variations by Langston Hughes
he Negro Speaks Of Rivers by Langston Hughes
BE MINE
Walking neither overjoyed nor sad,
I looked into my heart and saw a treasure
Worth more than anything I'd ever had.
Ah! This is love! I thought. And then I wanted
To give my life to see your happiness.
Suddenly, from nowhere, I was haunted,
Needy, joyful, tearful, glad, obsessed.
My love for you has brought me out of me.
The beauty in your heart has set me free.
You Are My Dream Come True
You will be my dream come true,
The one I have waited for all these years.
From now until the end of time,
I will love only you.
We will be together always.
She's not a candy,
Nothing can make me feel so perfect but you
I feel butterflies when I see you smile
Baby, just kiss me for a while
Your tongue is the sweetest sensation of all
With every kiss I just want to melt in your arms
Please catch me and don’t let me fall
Without you I am nothing at all
Your touch is one thing I will always desire
I will never let this love expire
Your love is the only thing I need
Take my heart and don’t make it bleed
You are the most precious thing to me
Life without you just couldn't be
Just give it some time and we’ll be free
I am in love with you cant you see?
You are my everything, my life, my world
I promise to always love you and that’s my word.
my love its not your age that i see,
but only beautiful a heart who always knew
our love was mean't to be.
time and distance, could not stop us then,
and oh when i look back,
what beautiful memories of
how our love began.
just two lonely people
who came together as friends,
who shared our joys of laughter,
and would each go home
to the loneliness after.
i am not sure when it was that our love began
i just know if the world would end,
i would come back and
choose you all over again.
never in a lifetime could there be a love so warm
and true as the the beautiful love that
i feel blessed to have shared with you.
and though the day may come when i must go,
i know the lord above,
will keep my light shining for you to see from earth down below.
and when the day comes for you,
i shall be awaiting at the gates with arms open wide.
for there could never be
a love as beautiful as yours and mine.
Your strolling home as you see this too
And I watch from a window thinking of you
From this day on, Ill look forever
That magical sunset, our memories together
To help me through when my life gets tough
And when I feel that I've had enough
The sun you see, makes me think of you
The miracle of it, the wonder too
I see you both everyday as you know
To stop seeing either, Id have to say, no
The bright colours shine from within my heart
The colours of a sunset, a special part
Of a day in my life I wish you could see
Just what's its like, just to be me
And every time I see you
I fall in love with you all over again
My heart starts to race
My frown turns into a smile
And all my worries are now in my past
When you smile at me my heart melts
You give the sweetest hugs
Every time you hug me
Your smile is like a new day
Your sense of humor is like no other
The ability you have to make me smile
Is all you need you love me
Your laugh is so soft and sweet
Just looking in your eyes
Makes me melt inside
Your lips look so soft
Soft enough to kiss
You, yourself relive me from all pain
Your hands are as soft as a pillow
The way you comfort me is amazing
Every time we say good-bye
I start to cry
I say good-bye to you too many times
I said good-bye to you a million times
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Quiet Girl by Langston Hughes
I would liken you
To a night without stars
Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.

Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.
Still Here by Langston Hughes
I been scared and battered.
My hopes the wind done scattered.
Snow has friz me,
Sun has baked me,
Looks like between 'em they done
Tried to make me
Stop laughin', stop lovin', stop livin'--
But I don't care!
I'm still here!
My hopes the wind done scattered.

Looks like between 'em they done

Morning (Love Sonnet XXVII) by Pablo Neruda
Naked you are simple as one of your hands;
Smooth, earthy, small, transparent, round.
You've moon-lines, apple pathways
Naked you are slender as a naked grain of wheat.
Naked you are blue as a night in Cuba;
You've vines and stars in your hair.
Naked you are spacious and yellow
As summer in a golden church.
Naked you are tiny as one of your nails;
Curved, subtle, rosy, till the day is born
And you withdraw to the underground world.
As if down a long tunnel of clothing and of chores;
Your clear light dims, gets dressed, drops its leaves,
And becomes a naked hand again.
Smooth, earthy, small, transparent, round.
You've moon-lines, apple pathways
Naked you are slender as a naked grain of wheat.
Naked you are blue as a night in Cuba;

Naked you are tiny as one of your nails;
Curved, subtle, rosy, till the day is born
And you withdraw to the underground world.
As if down a long tunnel of clothing and of chores;
Your clear light dims, gets dressed, drops its leaves,
And becomes a naked hand again.
Dream Variations by Langston Hughes
To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me-
That is my dream!
To fling my arms wide
In the face of the sun,
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done.
Rest at pale evening...
A tall, slim tree...
Night coming tenderly
Black like me.
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me-
That is my dream!
To fling my arms wide
In the face of the sun,
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done.
Rest at pale evening...
A tall, slim tree...
Night coming tenderly
Black like me.
he Negro Speaks Of Rivers by Langston Hughes
I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the
flow of human blood in human veins.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln
went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy
bosom turn all golden in the sunset.
I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

BE MINE
When I see you every day,
I always wonder what to say
Should I hug you, should I say hi?
Or should I just pass you by
Your smile makes me want to touch the sky
Your talk makes me think that you’ll never lie
The way you talk, oh boy you’re fine
Why can’t you just for once be mine?
You know that I can’t still believe
You are the one who controls the way I live
I have never felt this way before
I am telling you this is for sure
Now tell me what you want from me
So I can show you how good I can be
Please don’t tell me that you have feelings for other girls,
I want you to know that I will be hurt
My heart is now bitting for you
Until you really tell me the truth.

I Never Thought I'd Fall in Love with You
I never thought I'd fall in love with you.
I thought someday, of course, I'd fall in love.
But what it felt like, I just never knew;
I'd no idea what I was thinking of.
And then, somewhere between my need and pleasure,I thought someday, of course, I'd fall in love.
But what it felt like, I just never knew;

In Your Arms
In your arms, my thoughts could drift away
To a place, all our own, and a lovelier day.
Lavender sunsets and skies of blue
Would be ours to enjoy... just me and you.
To a place, all our own, and a lovelier day.
Lavender sunsets and skies of blue
Would be ours to enjoy... just me and you.
In your arms, my only task would be
To make sure your kisses were just for me.
For every kiss... I'd give you four
And show you no one could love you more.
To make sure your kisses were just for me.
For every kiss... I'd give you four
And show you no one could love you more.
Then, just to prove we would never part,
I'd wrap myself around your heart.
Melting together (as lovers do...)
Passion and pleasure beginning anew.
I'd wrap myself around your heart.
Melting together (as lovers do...)
Passion and pleasure beginning anew.
In your arms,
you'd know by the look in my eyes
That I was yours
- no more silly good-byes.
And all of our dreams
would soon come true.
You'd belong to me,
and I... to you.
you'd know by the look in my eyes

You Are My Dream Come True
Always in my heart
You make me feel more loved
Than I've ever felt
And happier than I've ever dreamed.
The love and understanding you have
Is something I have searched for
My entire life.
You make me feel more loved
Than I've ever felt
And happier than I've ever dreamed.
The love and understanding you have
Is something I have searched for
My entire life.
Always in my happiest
And saddest moments,
You are my best friend and confidante.
I come to you for everything,
And you listen to me
Without judgment.
And saddest moments,
You are my best friend and confidante.
I come to you for everything,
And you listen to me
Without judgment.
Always, deep within my soul,
I know we have a love like no other.
What we share is something others
Only hope for and dream of,
But few ever experience.
Our love is magical beyond belief.
I know we have a love like no other.
What we share is something others
Only hope for and dream of,
But few ever experience.
Our love is magical beyond belief.
Always, without hesitation,
You give of yourself completely.
You have reached the very depths of my soul,
Bringing out emotions I never knew I had
And unveiling an ability to love
I never thought possible.
Always and foreverYou give of yourself completely.
You have reached the very depths of my soul,
Bringing out emotions I never knew I had
And unveiling an ability to love
I never thought possible.
You will be my dream come true,
The one I have waited for all these years.
From now until the end of time,
I will love only you.
We will be together always.
I Wish You Were My Valentine
I wish you were my Valentine
Though I may not be yours,
And I may, in my ignorance,
Be speaking to closed doors.
Though I may not be yours,
And I may, in my ignorance,
Be speaking to closed doors.
I have no inkling of your heart,
No hint what you might say;
But when I think of you the sun
Will just not go away.
No hint what you might say;
But when I think of you the sun
Will just not go away.
There is in you a loveliness
That makes my darkness shine,
And so I’ll wait, if wait I must,
To be your Valentine.
That makes my darkness shine,
And so I’ll wait, if wait I must,
To be your Valentine.
And I Miss You
She's not a candy,
but she's so sweet.
She's not a baby,
but she's so cute.
She's not a princess,
but she's so pretty.
She's not the number one,
but she's the only one.
She's not my lover,
but I love her..
It Hurts
You say you're confused
You do or you don't
And it hurts
You say it may change
It will or it won't
And it hurts
You say we'll be fine
We shall or we shan't
And it hurts
You say you're worth trust
I can or I can't
And it hurts
They tell me to change
I don't and I fail
Cause it hurts
They tell me to work
I won't and I fail
Cause it hurts
They tell me to trust
I shan't and I fail
Cause it hurts
They tell me to smile
I can't and I fail
Cause it hurts
You tell me to smile
I try and I do
But it hurts
You tell me to trust
I try and I will
But it hurts
You tell me to work
I try and I shall
But it hurts
You tell me to change
I try and I can
But it hurts
You Are My Everything
Everything seems so perfect and trueNothing can make me feel so perfect but you
I feel butterflies when I see you smile
Baby, just kiss me for a while
Your tongue is the sweetest sensation of all
With every kiss I just want to melt in your arms

My Heart And Soul
You have promised a new life to me, You have promised to satisfy my needs,
Humble flower of all my dreams,
The most essential deed of my dreams!
Even though sometimes I could be sad,
I can be impressed by your aimless furies,
But I’m still attracted by your smooth love.
Assuage me with your romantic words!
Cajole me with your soft, tender voice,
Remain always very close to me.
Allow me to judge my reactions.
I’m still waiting for your forgiveness.
Thus, I’m imploring you painfully,
Honorable Rose of my worships,
The one who makes my heart vibrate,
The only one my restless soul claims,
So far, I’m running out of options.
My heart is craving for your love,
My soul, in other hand, is questing for you
Will you think of returning close to them?
The Night Was Made For Romance
The night was made for romance. In the night our two hearts dance.
Under the stars our lips touch.
In the garden your embrace means so much.
The night was made for love.
Our hearts cooing like a white dove.
Your eyes sparkling like diamonds so white.
I love you darling with all my might.
The night was made for caring and trust.
And darling, God made this night for us.
