CONGENIAL LOVE by Pauline Murphy

9/28/2007

A forlorn flower sways in the gentle Zephyr
Peacefully and tranquil, as if an angel is there
Now its diffident petals are gliding by
Into the radiant auburn sky

A beauty so divine, so gracious and true
A beauty so inimitable,I think of only you
The angels are singing through the heavens breeze
Feels like the angels are singing just to me

Voices gentle, blissful and peaceful
The heavens are calling, they're in need of an angel
Follow their songs to the heavens above
Take their hands, my congenial love

Isn't it all? by Pauline Murphy

9/14/2007

Isn't it all so satirical? Here I am again
Faced with a feeling of unmerited pain
Emptiness that fills me up inside
Overflowing without you by my side

Isn't it all so inequitable? How I'm always alone
Though I love you so, my hearts as cold as stone
Lonely and aching, with mellow little tunes
This is my life, lost in loves sand dunes

Isn't it all poignant? Shakespeare’s tales
Love seems so perfect, I await its prevail
Maybe I've made too many dejected mistakes
But look at me, alas! Substantial heartache

Isn't it all so inevitable? Every single night and day
Loves misery is all I've ever felt, so I pray
That this pain might go away, and leave me be
Though this love, is so vivid in my mind for thee

Always by Pauline Murphy

9/14/2007

Always pain before it can heal
Always Numb before it can feel
Always lost before it is found
Always silence before a sound

Always broken before repaired
Always brave before scared
Always alone before we are together
Always united before it is severed

Always poignant before content
Always in love before lament
Always dark before the light
Always wrong before it is right

Just You by Pauline Murphy

9/14/2007

I need to hear your voice
Music is gentle and takes me to a world apart
For in the heavens, you speak
As the heart crumbles I picture just you.
You see just you can heal my soul
It is tarnished
I must lose someone close, to feel so close
Will you stay faraway so close?
This city is bigger than ever I could believe
But alas you are here for me
Through an empty dream, I see you
I hear your voice calling out to me
Its so beautiful
Suddenly everything within comes pouring
Love is a beautiful disaster
I cannot begin to contemplate this world
Please follow me and rescue me from this world
For you see, I need you
Just you

Tragic Tale by Pauline Murphy

9/12/2007

This is the tragic tale of a country that perished
When it lost so many who were loved and cherished
A saddened fate awaited five thousand plus that day
The day that sent the world astray

We saw how they tumbled and fell to the ground
We seen it on Tv, but with no screams or deathly sounds
A tragic scene began to unfold before our eyes
Thousands of angels flew into the smoke filled skies

We sat watching this calamity, filled with disgust
Prayed and cried with them as they scavenged through the dust
We watched helplessly as they hauled bodies from the debris
This was a tragedy never before had that country seen

Late into the night they remained at the vacant ground
Halting their salvage at the slightest sound
They lit the candles, they twinkled in the night
A flicker of hope in the most deadliest of nights

Fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, husbands and wives
Each a beautiful soul, a beautiful delicate life
Now those angels sit above us in the clouds of heaven
That was the tragic tale that was nine eleven

November Rain by Pauline Murphy

9/12/2007

Running to standstill, broken and lost
You are always right here with me in my thoughts
So much more than just a beautiful memory
The heart is forever more, so very lonely

Staring neurotically, out of a distressed window pane
Tiny tears falling from the heavens, November rain
Look beyond the stars that elongate this night sky
Can you see God's heaven and hell before your eyes?

See the sun setting in your mesmerising eyes
Palpitations of the heart as we said our goodbyes
A strange and a most celestial obsession
Of you, as though your heart was in my possession

This anomalous and glorious feeling is hard to explain
Its a burn inside, nevertheless a most beautiful pain
And an ecstasy that’s so hard to measure
A sentiment that’s so full of pleasure

And so an unexpectant fruition
As though the heart was on a mission
To find at last you and your heart; my love
But alas you have gone, to the land up above

Across the universe by Pauline Murphy

9/12/2007

Across the universe, through the heavens skies
Through the oceans of love, that lies in your eyes
With a smile that illuminates like the suns rays
And a beauty so heavenly, the heart breaks in so many ways

So gracious and perfect and so intimately true
I can’t help but fall in love with you
Eyes like spring, full of youth and rebirth
You know, there’s no one quite like you on this earth

And it’s a beautiful day, when you are here
This world seems a little bit better, I've no fears
I'm kind of in a parallel world when I'm with you
A world so perfect, that’s too good to be true

Beyond all that hurt and pain that lies inside
I can live happily with you by my side
The reason I live, I hope you can see
My heaven, Earth and stars, you complete me

Congenial love by Pauline Murphy

Innocent eyes by Pauline Murphy

9/12/2007

Come with me and observe this scene
A Woman is cradling her children on her knees
She is crying and their asking why
She's trying to tell them how their daddy died

Why did those towers fall down?
Was daddy in there when it hit the ground?
When will he come home, can't you say?
Why did he not come home from work today?

Shes gazing into their innocent eyes
Can't understand why he had to die
She holds their hands and says its ok
We'll all see daddy again some day

Why is daddy's work on tv?
Why is Daddy not here Mummy?
Why Mummy must you cry?
Why did we not say goodbye?

She can't even speak now with the fear
Life will be different now without him here
He was killed on nine eleven
It's ok Mummy, daddy's watching us from heaven

For You by Pauline Murphy

9/12/2007

Love flows through you, like current flows restlessly in the rivers.
The sun sets in your eyes. Auburn and Wild
Your heart is golden like the sun
You illuminate our world. My world.
Beauty is clasped within you.
Inner beauty intertwines your heart, like a rose's stalks.
But they have thorns.
A smile that melts the heart and cleanses the empty soul.
Yet your soul is free flowing.
Alas! you inspire me and my emptyness
Fill me with a false hope, though this hope has blossomed.
This love I feel for you has blossomed, like a flower blooms.
Love.
For You.

Am I an angel? by Pauline Murphy

8/27/2007

Drifting nonchalantly in the Nyc streets
Don’t know where I’m heading, I’m just following my feet
All of a sudden I’m at a flower filled gate
Hundreds surround me, but have nothing to say

This place is icy, the air is grey
Silence is deafening, they have no words to say
There is only one sound, the sound of their tears
God help them, they’re filled with such lonesome fear

Steam is rising up through the ground’s mist
This place looks familiar, could this be it?
Surely this can’t be that once audacious place?
Suddenly through the crowd I see a memorable face

I see my mother, but she can’t see me
Am I an angel? I think I must be
I stop and I look at this tragic scene
Rubbled streets and twisted Iron beams

Standing through all that death, bold and tall
A glimmer of hope it seems after all
There it glides proudly in the haze
Red, white and blue, the flag is raised

Though now perhaps some of us are gone
That flag seems to bring together everyone
A hand is outstretched, calling me to heaven
Remember us angels on that day, nine eleven

In the Rain by Pauline Murphy

8/23/2007

I hear it in the rain
Can you feel my pain?
Staring out at the fallen tears
Each woefully represents, my
begotten fears

Its building up inside of me
The rain within, cant you see?
All i need is a gentle lift
A sign from a hidden spirt

I hear it in the rain
Fallen tears within are coming again
Puddles of love, come from me
My tears are making a brand new sea

Thats where i'll be
Come look for me
Forever now, my lonesome pain
In the rain

Shooting star by Pauline Murphy

8/23/2007

As I sat alone residing yesteryear
Your presence gripped me here
A shooting star caught my eye
So beauiful in the night sky

My heart gave a flutter
For it heart belongs to no other
Elation tickled me pink
One wish I knew to think

Gracefully it glided
Tears fell, couldn't hide it
Beauty and awe struck
Shooting star, an angels luck

Magical Dreamer by Pauline Murphy

8/23/2007

Unsolved mysteries and dreams untold
A love thats forever, a soul thats sold
Magical dreamer with eyes like stars
A smile thats hidden, his tears stretch far

Love is his burden, he cares too much
He loves her so, a beautiful touch
A moon thats golden in the auburn sky
He runs away awaiting to die

The ocean is stretched, beautiful blue
His heart is broken, but its golden and true
He gives her everything left to give
If only together they could live

His eyes a pool of murmmuring mystery
His heart will always beat along side with me
I can hear his voice; gentle in the winds breeze
I have his heart, he will forever remain with me

Lifeless Lifeline by Pauline Murphy

8/23/2007

As I fell into a world of my own
This love for you has only grown
Beautiful like a rose, with a thorn
Painful like a heart thats been torn

I can hear the beating of my own heart
But it has been broken and torn apart
A lifeless lifeline, a dream thats old
A love thats warm, a heart thats cold

Am I leading you astray, or can we be?
You see I'm confused, might you love me?
I've never known a love like this
Feels like a beautiful bliss

I await the sun to rise in the east
To kill loves inner beast
Lost in love and its pain
But in my heart you will forever remain

Let love be by Pauline Murphy

8/23/2007

I'm the girl with a broken heart
Its been hurt and torn apart
Tears they seem to flow
When I'm feeling really low

I can't seem to let love be
For I thouht you might love me
I heard a song, reminded me of you
Beautiful, pure and true

I'm just scared I hope you know
I love you, but I can't let go
My hearts been abused for far too long
My hearts weak, but my loves strong

Love torn thorn by Pauline Murphy

8/23/2007

Through the open glass mirror, that lies on the floor
I saw your eyes smiling, yearning for more
A magic surrounds you, I see it when you smile
You leave my heart palpatating, for you might be my guy

Lost once before, afraid to give it a go
This time its different,this time I know
You understand whats going on inside me
This is too good to be true, my heart won't believe

Do you know what its like? raw and aching
Brittle and broken, my heart its breaking
Love torn thorn, stands in my way
But I can't live like this every day

Human Nature by Pauline Murphy

8/23/2007

Human Nature is a beautiful disaster
For it is what we at last all encounter
You seem to remain hidden in your dreams
Can you not open up to me?

I read your eyes, I see your heart
For inside of you is a love thats torn apart
What you once lost, you give to me
Inspiration flows through thee

I understand who you really are
Inside you shine brighter than any star
What has been taken, you may still find
But you my friend, you are one of a kind

We have not met, I know we will
Hearts beat the same, hearts beat still
Closer than ever, this force is strong
Love.It can never be wrong

Jeremiah's call by Pauline Murphy

8/23/2007

Through a Solmen solitary dream
I heard an angel calling me
Is this the dreaded end I so fear
Tired.I know you are near

Lost in between truth and obscurity
I know perhaps you are close to me
When I sat in amongst cold and beauty
Tears of fear fell from within me

I offer you my apoligies. My pity
For we are, closer than anything
Listen to my pleas, for inside I am hurting
Answer my prayers, for I am crying

Perhaps at last I am found
But Just you and I can understand
Jerimiah hear my call
Catch me when I am close to fall

Amidst by Pauline Murphy

8/23/2007

Amidst these recent musings and thoughts
I've stumbled and fell into a sea of trepedition
For as I sat and stared I thought of just you
Just you, how you were once here

Amidst the recent thoughts in my head
I've came across something quite beautiful
Now at last I have let you slip away
But you have taken a piece of my heart

Amidst this ocean of love, there lies a longing lust
For my heart is teased with images of you
For a love torn thorn separates us
Twisted in friendship, for we cannot be more
