Longings of my heart

I hide a lot of love away in my heart

to respond to the pain that tries it to break,

and I try to protect it with all my strength 

Never to let it break.

Even when I am lowest I hope to get the strength

to protect my heart.

I try hard to protect my heart 

but often it fears to break,

what I see is often what I feel

But what I feel in completeness is

what I see and what I imagine to see.

This complexity is caused by none but you and me.

The world is you and I is me.

Over the passage of time,

which passed with smiles and rants

mostly with twinges and pangs.

The way I feel, is hard to explain.

A heartache, belongs not only to me

Ask your heart sometime,

It's more about the world than you and me.

How a bird is caged and an animal slaughtered

how a flower wilts and a tree is withered.

Society,that makes no sense

that doesn't know to spare a moment of truth and love.

Why it is that often lingers in the middle

Goes not so  far, never comes too close.

I wonder, why there is always a chase.

Morals are only preached, values only told.

So why it can not be true that we educate ourselves

a little love and hope, dreams and longings, love and peace.

Smiles and happiness to spread equally and for all.

I dream and hope that all search within and find this dream,

to be true, to live forever.
