The Blue Vineyard of Voo Shining Stone: Found On A Blue Green Sea
The Blue Vineyard of Voo Shining Stone: Found On A Blue Green Sea: Found On A Blue-Green Sea We sailed upon a blue-green sea My love and I, that night Beneath a moon ...
The Princess and The Prince
soundtrack
The Princess and the Prince
Once upon a time on earth
There came a child of royal birth
A girl so sweet and yet so shy
If one approached her, she would cry.
She didn't fit into the world
And so she was a lonely girl
Living in a world of books
While guardians gave her dirty looks.
They couldn't understand why she
Could not be like they were, you see
But she could not be as they were
She could only be like her.
And as she grew, she changed a bit
Till none of her old clothes would fit
Her boyish form had changed to girl
And she was thrust into the world.
A world where everything was strange
And told her that she, too, must change
And though she tried to please her peers
She knew she'd never fit in here.
They had their fun, they teased and taunted
But the Princess knew she was not wanted
Not in the way she needed so
And her every question was answered, no.
She lost herself in poetry
And saw things others could not see
She walked in worlds unseen by blind
Folk who'd never be her kind.
The myth, the legend, the fairy tale
These things would make her sad heart well
Her world comprised of fantasy
That only her dark eyes could see.
And when she'd grown to womanhood
She looked to find a love so good
But only ogres and trolls she found
Who smashed her sweet heart to the ground.
And still she searched and still she sought
And duels for her love were fought
But when the victor claimed his prize
She found his heart was full of lies.
What is a princess without a prince?
What good is love if it makes you wince?
And run and hide in silent tears
While life marched on down roads for years?
The princess soon gave up her quest
Though she had passed each trial and test
And kept her honor and kept her stance
But still dreamed at night of sweet romance.
And then one night, out of a dream
A man appeared out of the mist, it seemed
And fell to his knees at her bedside
And watched her as she slept and sighed.
"Sweet Princess, open up your eyes
I have been sent with a surprise
Your heart has pleaded and your plea was heard."
And she opened her eyes but said not a word.
"I came to love you and make you glad
Your heart has been broken and shattered and sad
And the God up in Heaven and the angels who cheer
Have chosen me for you and have sent me here."
"Are you a prince?" at last she spoke
And her dark eyes lit up with hope
But he hung his head and just said, "No."
And stood to his feet and turned to go.
"Wait!" she cried, "Please do not leave."
And it broke his heart to see her grieve
"If you're not a prince, I do not care."
And he stopped and stood in silence, there.
"I'm not a princess." she murmured low
"I've never thought I was, you know
They called me "princess" when I was young
But in bitter tones and with words that stung.
They wanted me to be like them
Though their thoughts were dull and their dreams were dim
And I could not conform to those
Who lived that half life that they chose.
And so they turned their backs on me
Turned up their noses so I would see
And know I'd never be a part
Of that pair of guardians that had no heart.
They called me "Princess" but it was a smear
And said in loathing and with a sneer
And I knew no better than to believe the lie
And they laughed at my ignorance with disdain in their eye.
So all my life, I've been alone
With no family and no loving home
Looking for someone who was just like me
A prince without anything but his royalty.
I'm not a princess, I know that now
I'm just a girl who survived somehow
And lived and learned and loved no one
But the dream in my heart and the man in my song."
And the man turned round and wore a smile
And he stood and he watched her for such a long while
Then he knelt beside her and took her hand
"No prince am I but just a man
And a man who was lonely and looking, like you
For someone to love and love me so true
I have never fit in, I have never conformed
I was taunted with insults from the day I was born.
I was sneered at for being who I chose to be
And never knew love for just being me
They called me a "prince" upon his high horse
And I chose to be royal but I wasn't, of course."
And the woman laughed and said "It's true!"
"You're just like me, I'm just like you!"
"Why have I never seen your face?
Why have you never found this place?"
And the man took her into his arms
No prince but so endowed with charms
And said,"My love, I don't know why or how
I haven't been here before but I am here now."
And the sad girl who cried and the boy who felt low
Loved each other with love that few ever know
And they live in a dream world that no one has dreamed since
The girl they called "Princess and the boy they called Prince."

Communicate
Communicate
We don't need words
When we communicate
We don't need nouns or verbs
Or syllables
We don't even need sound.....
My heart wants
Your heart responds
Your heart needs
And my heart gives
It's always been
That way with us
Always.....
Our minds met
In dreams
Our hearts met
In poetry
Our souls met
In destiny.
We speak telepathically
Like they do in Paradise
Where minds are One
And hearts are One
And love is all there is.
It feels good to be known
For who we truly are
And not for who they think we are
Or want us to be..........
For we are truly us
When we are together.
One day God smiled
And orchestrated our meeting
Communicating His desire
To see us happy
To see us complete
As planned in eternity
Before we knew ourselves
And that we were not yet whole.
We don't need words
You and I
Because we feel so much
Say so much with every kiss,
Every embrace,
Every caress........
Every glance
Of our twin brown eyes.
We communicate
In ways the world would never understand
Woman and man.....
Hand in hand and heart to heart
Where you end and where I start
We cannot tell, we cannot say
For it has always been this way.
My fingers beg and beckon you
My eyes flash lightning
My breath calls your name
My arms bid you welcome
My body takes you home.
What more is there to say?
What words could convey
The way I need, I want, I love
Better than the song in my eyes?
The poetry in my touch?
We communicate......
We communicate......
Every need met
Every hunger fed
Every yearning, fulfilled
Every dark fear, conquered.
We need no words......
But lest the unseeing worlds
Think us fools and dunces
Who live in silence...........
I will scream my love into the wind,
Call the clouds to listen to our story,
Thank God in prayer for sending you to me
And tell the universe .......
In a thousand ways, unsaid and said:
How much I love you and your smiling eyes
That speak to me in gentleness and bliss
That fan the fires inside of me without a word
And then consume me in your love
And with the flame of your sweet kiss.
Communicate with me, my love
Communicate with me.

How Long Does It Take?
How Long Does It Take?
How long does it take to stop loving somebody?
How long does it take to stop wanting someone?
How long till it stops feeling like you are homeless
When you've lost that sweet heart that so long felt like home?
How long till the nights stop being eons of time?
And the days are long days that you wish would just end?
How long till it seems that your hopes and your dreams
Didn't die with the love in the eyes of your friend?
How long till the hurt doesn't hurt anymore?
For you no longer feel and you no longer care
And the sorrow and wrath and the pain makes a path
To the darkness that grabs you when there's nobody there?
I don't know all these answers, I cannot comprehend
What the world and it's schemes do to a woman and man
I have tried to decipher, I have tried to make sense
How one soul becomes two when one soul builds a fence.
Why can we not perceive when the devil comes creeping?
Why can we not see how he delights in love's death?
Why do we fight each other, our true loves, our lovers
Instead of fighting that devil with our last living breath?
How long, oh my Lord, will this battle keep raging?
How long till the sun shines and never goes dark?
How long till we know we can trust one another
And not just trust one another to break each other's heart?
I have crawled back into my old shell of heartache
Where there is no sunshine and no drop of rain
Down to the desert of despaired desolation
Where the fantasy is pleasure and reality's pain.
How long will it be till I feel whole again?
How long till the world seems a safe place to live?
How long till I've taken all my soul can take
And my soul is refilled and has more love to give?
I do not love the night now
I do not love the day
The nights when our hearts would softly whisper
And love would come to play.
I do not love the dawning
The joy that day would bring
I cannot hear the music now
I can't make my heart sing.
How long does it take to live again
And for a human heart to heal?
How long till fantasy fades away
Replaced by something real?
If no answer comes for me and no counsellor I find
If no angel comes down with a miracle and sign
If I was just foolish, perceiving no end or start
May all my records show that I lived even though
And I loved with all of my heart.
