I Want to Live Forever

I Want to Live Forever Shams will just say it, “ I want to live forever!” It was not always so. At age 9, I contemplated Such a life, But, infinity was too horrific For such a young mind To hold.

Who Are We?

Who Are We? We are different, you and I, But, never at our core. So when we join our bodies There is a conversation. Let's make it sweet. It takes time, concentration, and good will To learn how to dedicate this Love We melt together, soften Enter Holy Breath, Divine. We drink deeply From Christ's most Holy Wine. We speak in moans, In gentle groans, In Love's music tones. Your lips... such dulcet lips Speak to me of caring. Ah, the blessing of This Gentle sharing. © 2007 Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

Every sound ever uttered Every noise ever made, Still vibrates its truth-sound Its music once played. Clouds passing over, What do you feel? The... Sign in to see full entry.
