NO TIME FOR WAR
At this time of day,
There is no time for war.
It’s time for us to unite.
Join,
In matters of health and unity,
And healing,
At this time of day,
There is no time for war.
Let’s put down our weapons.
And surrender,
In the realm of love, compassion, and unity,
At this time of day,
There is no time for war…
No time for war…
At this time of day.

ROSE
A love-filled rose,
The cherry’s color,
Perhaps the shade of merlot,
Ruby, also known as wine-colored,
Sweet to thy lips,
A soft kiss,
Rose,
The hue of scarlet,
Or,
The hue of blood,
Or,
The sangria-berry color is-
The blush and candy lipstick’s current is-
The rose…

LOVE BECAUSE OF A SMILE
Love makes me smile.
Feeling loved makes me feel amazing.
Makes me feel vibrant, away…
It is love that makes me feel desirable.
Makes me feel un-lonely, so cherished,
Love makes me smile.
It is love that makes me feel beautiful.
Makes me feel lovely as the rose,
I smile because…
Of love,
Of love,
It evokes feelings of being cherished,
beautiful, and desired.
Like a rose.

LET ME LOVE YOU
Let me love you.
I want to love you.
I want to be the one who whispers
sweet nothings in your ear.
But you have to hear me.
You have to… listen.
My nothings are more than sweet love for you,
My dear,
Let me love you.
I want to brush my lips against yours.
But you have to taste me.
You have to… feel.
My lips whispers are more than
sweet love for you.
My dear,
Whisper sweet nothings against my lips,
Ah, let me love you.
