Song Of The Week (11)

It is the 11th song I posted here and it feels like I just posted the 1st song yesterday! Time goes by so quickly I guess!

The song is called "Looking Through Your Eyes" by "Leanne Rimes"

Look at the sky
Tell me, what do you see?
Just close your eyes
And describe it to me
The Heavens are sparkling with starlight tonight
That's what I see through your eyes

I see the Heavens
Each time that you smile
I hear your heartbeart
Just go on for miles
And suddenly I know my life is worthwhile
That's what I see through your eyes

Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands
We can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by suprise...
Looking through your eyes

Look at myself
And instead I see us
Whoever I am
Now it feels like enough
And I see it a girl who is learning to trust
That's who I see through your eyes

Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands
We can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes

And there are some things we don't know
Sometimes our hearts just needs to call
And there is so much that I remember
Underneath the open sky
With you forever

Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands
We can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes

Looking through your eyes

In The Garden

Here is a poem that I wrote a while ago but I didn't post it directly because I was not that much comfortable with it and I am still not so comfortable so I will leave the judgement for you!



In the Garden


At noon, sitting in the garden
Talking and reminiscing
And the passing time eases the burden
Without us even noticing

Two young hearts and souls
Destiny brought them together
Sharing common hopes and goals
And enjoying the nice weather

Flowers are all around
Of different types and colors
Perfectly laid on the ground
Joyful view for the dwellers

So we lay on the green grass
And gaze at the clear blue sky
While cool winds gently pass
And birds slowly fly

We enjoy playing hide and seek
Behind that big willow tree
And the chase beside that creek
It is the feeling of being free

We run around until the nighttime
And we stay awhile to watch the stars
Their beauty is sublime
And we feel that the sky is all ours

Now it is time for us to go
And leave this garden alone
But inside our hearts we know
That this garden is our own

And there will be a time again
When we visit this garden of bliss
To forget about the pain
And enjoy where the real love exists

Song Of The Week (10)

Well Monday passed by and I forgot to post the song of the week! So I apologize for that. The song this week is from an artist called "Joshua Kadison". He is very talented but commercially not that well known. I have 3 albumes for him and they all are good and I am sure I will buy his fourth when he is done with it.
This song is so great! I think I will sing it to my wife in her birthdays if she does not mind me singing that is :P

Beautiful In My Eyes (Click save target as to download the song)


You're my piece of mind
In this crazy world
You're everything I've tried to find
Your love is a pearl

You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies
And my only prayer, is that you realize
You'll always be Beautiful, In My Eyes

The world will turn
And the seasons will change
And all the lessons we will learn
Will be beautiful and strange

We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs
My only prayer, is that you realize
You'll always be Beautiful, In My Eyes

You will always be, Beautiful In My Eyes
And the passing years will show
That you will always grow
Evermore Beautiful, In My Eyes

And there are lines upon my face
From a lifetime of smiles
But when the time comes to embrace
For one long last while

We can laugh about it, how time really flies
We won't say goodbye, 'cause true-love never dies
You'll always be Beautiful, In My Eyes

You will always be, Beautiful In My Eyes
And the passing years will show
That you will always grow
Evermore Beautiful, In My Eyes

The passing years will show
That you will always grow
Evermore Beautiful, In My Eyes

Illusions

Here is my latest poem "Illusions"

I see shadows on the wall
As soon as I turn on the light
And strange voices loudly call
Breaking the silence of the night
Illusions of things big and small
Mixing the wrong with the right
And deadly letters starts to crawl
On the pages when I write
Ghosts with weapons and all
In my head battle and fight
Human bodies like rain they fall
Filling up the heart with fright
And no matter how hard you bawl
You are sure things will never be alright

Song Of The Week (9)

This week song is "Bless the Broken Road" by a band called "Rascal Flatts". You can listen to it by clicking on the title. It is low quality though and if you get the message that the page has exceeded the bandwidth or something, try tomorrow and it should work!


I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

Whispering Flowers

Finally I managed to write a complete poem! I passed through a period of no inspiration what so ever! But now I am back! I don't know how good is this poems but I hope you like it! And again critical comments are welcomed :D

Whispering Flowers

There in the garden they lay
Blossoming in early may
Dancing happily with the breeze
Singing lovely tunes with the trees
Whispering the sweetest words
Talking to the wandering birds
Their scent fills the place
And their beauty is full of grace
It is just how we dreamed it will be
A Garden of Eden just for you and me
And as we lay on the grass
We watch the clouds slowly pass
I gently hold your hand
And I know you understand
And as I turn toward you
I know just what to do
I will softly touch your face
And drown in your sweet embrace
I will run my fingers through your hair
And show you how much I care
Then I will pick one flower
Full of charm and power
I let it whisper in your ear
And it will tell you all what you want to hear
And when the garden welcomes the night
Again I will hold your hand tight
And pull you close and whisper in your ear
And tell you, you have nothing to fear
And I wish I can catch the moonlight beams
And shape them into your hopes and dreams

Song Of The Week (8)

Today I bring to you a country song that topped the country chart in 1985. The song is "Some Fools Never Learn" By "Steve Wariner". It has nice lyrics and it is a great song indeed and I am sure some will feel the lyrics related to them.


All my friends
Say I should leave you alone
You got a heart like a stone
And a wanderin' eye
And I know that they're right
I can make up my mind
Not to see you again
But you move through my dreams like the wind
It's no good to pretend
It won't happen again
Cause it'll happen again

Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn

And Baby I tried
But I'm just not that strong
Guess I knew all along
But that's not enough
I was falling in love
And you don't know it
But I came over tonight
There was somebody's car parked outside
Damn my eyes
Damn this heart of mine
I drove off into the night

Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn

Somewhere, in the city tonight
There's a girl and she's lonely like me
She'll be easy to see
And naturally
She'll have that look in her eye
She'll be feeling that way
I see it all plain as day
Oh I'll never be
What she wants me to be
Oh but lucky for me

Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn

Is There Any Good Music These Days?

Do you know that I didn't buy any new album for any of the current artists nowadays? That is not because I can download the songs for free! It is because nothing worth buying! And even nothing worth downloading! The only new music I like currently is country music and since it is not appreciated by fans here in the gulf we don't get most of the new albums. Yet we get all the crappy rap albums and boy bands' jokes of songs!
I watched some clip of a new rap song recently and half of the lyrics were censored. Then I read the lyrics online and I knew why they were censored! I mean the whole song has no meaning at all! I admit there are good rap songs like gangasta's paradise for Coolio but they are very few compared to the rap songs we hear everyday!
Another issue is the way they use women in their videos and in the lyrics too. Why a woman would accept to appear in a video where she is called bitch and whore in same song? I think women rights groups should get involved and protect women from being mistreated like that!! And just before few days I listened to a song by Baby Face and Stevie Wonder called "How come, how long" and talks about a woman who was beaten by her man and how she was mistreated and so on. Well if that man is a fan of rap artists and their songs that refer to their women as bitches, of course he will beat his woman!!
Back in the 1990s, I thought that the 1980s era was the last of the eras of good music, but now I really miss the 1990s! And god knows what kind of music we will have after 2010.
