FEELINGS
Feelings are a little sentimental
Wouldn't say feelings are sadness or pity
Say it's more like a mournful
A strong sense of overwhelming grief
The theory could be nothing more than a brush against the cheek
Or maybe a soft kiss on the lower chin
Or a pat on the shoulder
Whether it may be;
It could erase the mournfulness, strong sense of grief
Cherish the brush on the cheek, the kiss on the chin,
the pat on the shoulder © Tamikio L. Dooley IN THE HEART, SOUNDS OF THE SONG In the heart, sounds of the song
sweet melodies play against the chest
The heart thump makes the symbolical music
Of a tick and a dance
In the heart, sounds of the song
Listen...to the music of a sweet, delicious tune
The lips whisper the lyrics!
Thy, should we know the words...
In the heart, sounds of the song
Should make us sway, as the music takes our soul
Let us ascend to a place, high above the clouds
In the heart, sounds of the song
The heaven listens to the sweet thump, in the heart,
sounds the song © Tamikio L. Dooley PERHAPS Perhaps, every blessing comes in different shapes and forms
It's a time to refresh
Unwind, from
Traveled journey there, and back
Perhaps, it's time to rest
Rather than refresh
Unwind, from
Whatever the case may be
It's time for victory
Perhaps, the important events of the day
Stirred something within, a blessing
It's time to rest
Rather than refresh
Unwind, from
Traveled journey there, and back. © Tamikio L. Dooley A RAINDROP IS JUST A TEAR A raindrop is just a tear
Something inside the raindrop
Holds the memories of wonderful winter days
Within the sparkling of the raindrop
Just a tear, just a tear
Holding the memories of wonderful winter nights
Within the sparkling of the raindrop
Just a tear, just a tear
Holding the memories of wonderful winter days and nights
The raindrop, just a tear, holds wonderful winter memories
in the days and nights
