The Perfect Ten
Summed up in three:

Love, depression and food,
it ain't perfect ten

[The_Fool]

Daddy pays his bills,
mama's a harlot
teaching him well.



Pity the fool.

Pity not The Fool
for the fool
needs no pity

A Foolish life
spent in wonder
breaking silence
with laughter

shedding tears
during happy times
smiling bravely
despite the pain

Knowing love,
lust and wonder
Spending life
day by day

Dwell with me
a day
and share the happy smiles

Trusting love
trusting life
sharing time,
falling tears,
bittersweet smiles

I picture
a thinker,
wondering
if he's a mind reader.

A Foolish life
spent in wonder
breaking silence
with laughter

Afraid of silence,
my breath;
midnight laughter
fearing death.

shedding tears
during happy times
smiling bravely
despite the pain

Tears and laughter
every day
never knowing
what's coming next.

Knowing love,
lust and wonder
Spending life
day by day

Take my hand
show me,
please help me understand
love.

Dwell with me
a day
and share the happy smiles

Ups and downs,
wanting smiles
to stay
like right now.

Trusting love
trusting life
sharing time,
falling tears,
bittersweet smiles

And so I cry
that quickly
always
misunderstanding,
questioning
why?


Another May 29th baby. Neat!

Your hat smells like sweat.
I inhale, exhale
and pant.

I'm alone,
but can give myself
enormous satisfaction
by fantasizing.

Thirty seconds or less,
I climax
feeling my own flesh.

My pussy-scented fingers
causes euphoria,
and I do it again.

Avoid carpal tunnel.
Seek the neighbor man
who's been watching.

Listening, weeping
to The Hollies,
"The air that I breathe"

Describing me you
figured out
it's only in the bedroom.

Your touch
something never felt
Without words,
I was beautiful.

Dining, driving, dancing
and singing
with you,
anger always fumed.

Cocky, arrogant, demeaning
yet silent
hiding rolled eyes
tormenting heart.

A beautiful beginning
but so much for
my happy ending.

incomplete book
pain, miracles
thought the end
would've been you.

Thinking a dream
finally came true
believing
they never do.

Walking away
feeling empty
to avoid anger,
stress causes death.

I will survive
always do
pain
I am used to.

Spare the pity
not needed
yell
I will not care.

 

[Luv2PleasureF]

Still,
All I need
The air that I breathe
And... to love you

Pity, not given
Nor yelling,
Only tears
Wept in sorrow

Words are without meaning
When given no weight
or belief

Malicious actions
Vicious reactions
Cutting words
Cleave my heart asunder

Still,
All I wish
All I need
Is the air... that I breathe, and to love you

 

[BooMerengue]

Vicious reactions
Cutting words
Cleave my heart asunder

Still,

All I need

Artist: The Hollies Lyrics
Song: Air That I Breathe Lyrics

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read
Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

He wasn't stealing words
only replying to mine.

Trying to get a message across
two broken hearts.

 

[BooMerengue]

I wasn't accusing anyone of stealing. George Harrison made the same mistake, not realizing that he had written My Sweet Lord to the tune of the Chiffon's "He's So Fine".

Yes, I was (loosely) quoting the song saldne referred to, "The Air That I Breathe" by The Hollies.

My apologies for not noting the fact that I was quoting someone else's work.

Pity, not given

Only tears

Wishing to dry them
impossible
nor can you do mine.

Words are without meaning
When given no weight

Holding in words,
you cut deeper
with your eyes.

Malicious actions
Vicious reactions
Cutting words
Cleave my heart asunder

I speak my mind
you roll your eyes
not communicating.

Still,
All I wish
All I need
Is the air... that I breathe, and to love you

Slowly,
we will forget
the other existed.

Just out of curiosity, where did you get those lyrics?
I believe a few lines are mis-quoted...
For instance,
"Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep"
I believe should be:
"So go to sleep, silent angel, go to sleep"

Apropos of nothing...

Lyrics are pretty subjective sometimes. Even the writers themselves might sing them differently from one performance to another.

Doing the same...

Wishing to dry them
impossible
nor can you do mine.

If wishes had wings,
My flight, an arrow, to you

But limits, impossibility,
Are all products
of believing in them.

Holding in words,
you cut deeper
with your eyes.

The harder one looks
It gets easier
To find faults

No words withheld,
Only disbelieved,
My eyes betray my sorrow

I speak my mind
you roll your eyes
not communicating.

How does one respond to cuts?
To fearfully back away...

Speaking with a razor's edge,
Instead of love and understanding.

A note to those that might read the above, it is intended strictly allegorically and/or metaphorically, and not to be interpreted literally.

Slowly,
we will forget
the other existed.

Love lost,
Not forgotten,
Wells of sorrow,
Filled with tears.

Speak not for me,
The scars of love last forever.

Some so deep, so painful,
Healing may never come, weeping.

Though I know,
I still cannot bear
That it's over.

You loathe the word,
Still,
You are
My Beloved.

Wishing
Does not bring
Miracles
Working
Is all that will.

Sadness is an ocean
Drowning
Two broken hearts
My Beloved

Quoting Luv2 in black
saldne in red

If wishes had wings,
My flight, an arrow, to you

In my heart,
there's been an arrow.
A slow death.

Bleeding
yet surviving--
a miracle,
a blessing
or is it?

Wishing to end the pain
when the star fell
that night,

To be with you
forever,
dreaming vows
and wedding dresses.

But limits, impossibility,
Are all products
of believing in them.

Seeing doubts
in your eyes;
I wasn't alone.
Speak truthfully.

The harder one looks
It gets easier
To find faults

True colors shown
after I cried
making love with you.

No words withheld,
Only disbelieved,
My eyes betray my sorrow

Mistakes,
rolling eyes,
hurts the same
as telling lies.

How does one respond to cuts?
To fearfully back away...

We are comparing
how one hurts more
when we shouldn't.

We are human,
pain hurts,
and we do it anyway.

Speaking with a razor's edge,
Instead of love and understanding.

Mistaken--
in tears, I write
and hide--
you cannot see

Love lost,
Not forgotten,
Wells of sorrow,
Filled with tears.

I am not worth
the tears
that you cry.

Speak not for me,
The scars of love last forever.

The word "love"
should not be thrown around
so easily.

Was it love? Could it be?
Eyes swell from tears.

Some so deep, so painful,
Healing may never come, weeping.

You're not forever scarred
only temporarily bruised--
caressing your shoulder.

Though I know,
I still cannot bear
That it's over.

How do I stop the anger?
Blaming past and father.

You loathe the word,
Still,
You are
My Beloved.

You're a mushy one--
pulling hair out
reading the word.

Wishing
Does not bring
Miracles
Working
Is all that will.

Like "The Ants"
we work together?
Love shouldn't be work.

Sadness is an ocean
Drowning
Two broken hearts
My Beloved

Please stop.
Your kindness
is hurting me.

********
If wishes had wings,

********

In my heart,
there's been an arrow.
A slow death.

As I pause to ponder,
Who did shoot that arrow?

Bleeding
yet surviving--
a miracle,
a blessing
or is it?

Some do not fear death,
But fewer still welcome it.

Wishing to end the pain
when the star fell
that night,

End the pain how?
Only ending with the worst pain.

To be with you
forever,
dreaming vows
and wedding dresses.

A call, a note,
All it took,
To have me.

Dreams lost together
Surely the saddest of all

Seeing doubts
in your eyes;
I wasn't alone.
Speak truthfully.

Truthfully yes,
I have no quarrel
With the posit offered.

As a pet becomes it's owner,
Eyes mirrored what they saw.

True colors shown
after I cried
making love with you.

Shown perhaps,
Not understood,
The explanation offered
Crouched in shadows.

I could only offer care,
Encouragement to share,
With me.

Offered from Love,
Bereft of pity,
With tenderness
My beloved

Mistakes,
rolling eyes,
hurts the same
as telling lies.

Fear the pain,
Not it's happenstance,
Pain enough for all.

We are comparing
how one hurts more
when we shouldn't.

In Love,
Pain,
Like all else,
Is best when shared.

We are human,
pain hurts,
and we do it anyway.

So we are left
With a question:
Alone, or together?

********
Speaking with a razor's edge,
Instead of love and understanding.
********

Mistaken--
in tears, I write
and hide--
you cannot see

The heart sees
What eyes cannot
And feels the cut.

I am not worth
the tears
that you cry.

If so, am I worth yours?
Or don't they fall?

Remember what once was said,
I decide what I deserve.

The word "love"
should not be thrown around
so easily.

Was it love? Could it be?
Eyes swell from tears.

Not "was", it IS
It's only obstacle being clinging disbelief.

********
Some so deep, so painful,
Healing may never come, weeping.
********

You're not forever scarred
only temporarily bruised--
caressing your shoulder.

Your touch bringing tears,
my hand touches yours,
weeping uncontrollably.

********
Though I know,
I still cannot bear
That it's over.
********

Pride comes before the fall,
Wasn't me, made the call.

Seeing wisdom,
Accepting truth,
Still no joy,
Without holding you.

How do I stop the anger?
Blaming past and father.

Ironic,
Though seemingly not blamed,
I am the one punished.

But perhaps not just me,
We endure Love's trials together.

********
You loathe the word,
Still,
You are
My Beloved.
********
You're a mushy one--
pulling hair out
reading the word.

Of that alone I never cared,
You are
My Beloved. No pity offered there.

Like "The Ants"
we work together?
Love shouldn't be work.

Yes, Beloved, Love is work.
True Love most of all.

Sadness is an ocean
Drowning
Two broken hearts
My Beloved

Please stop.
Your kindness
is hurting me.

Eyes shut,
You cannot see
Madness lurking
In kindness' pain

White is white,
Black is black,
Kindess is good,
Simple as that.

Seek not pain,
Or squint to find it
Embrace LOVE

But perhaps all folly,
Tears dripping on a keyboard.
