He had strong defenses built, His heart to surround Not for long, when she appeared All the walls tumbled down She had scars reminding her She was easily deceived Only tears convinced her Once again to believe His ego would bend Learning the art of love Her heart soon would mend Learning the art of love They were two hearts tuned together And beating as one Ever new, each kiss was like The very first one They explored each landscape Of their sweet intimacy Never bored, love's horizon reached out Infinitely Both lovers and friends Learning the art of love Homework never ends Learning the art of love Learning the art of love Requires some determination You search for the heart of love In every different situation You apply the art of love. |

When I was a boy of twenty-two
I stood before a statue Was it you? They shake the fruit when they dance You should try some when you have the chance. Her face had no power to deceive She wore her beauty shamelessly Like Eve. Guavas can be bittersweet But the mango's always good to eat, Love has complicated my past. God nows I left no stone unturned. Now I realize that at last I've found her again. She understands how the blue water behaves. Mother-of-pearl is the woman in the waves. My eyes could travel her beauty for always. Gold of the sun is the woman in the waves. I know that my life has led me here To where the dolphin jumps And the sky's clear. Here we live without locked doors Share and share alike- what's mine is yours. I see invitation in your smile To celebrate our passions Without guile. In the noa noa night Nave nave's a familiar sight. I am avare of her fragrance Even when she disappears. |

When I saw you on the beach I self-destructed
My well constructed Counterpoint of cool. In that instant I imagined us together Hardly ever Resting to refuel. For forever you are all I need More than ever you are all I need. Every kiss perpetuates like mass-production Sweet seduction Haunts me like perfume. Everytime we touch I feel a deeper meaning Hearts convening Palpitate in tune. For forever you are all I need More than ever you are all I need. Here with you beside me I agree No mater where we are is perfect ecstasy Our bodies speak some language too Intense for us to comprehend But when they do I only know You're all I need. Instrumental Interlude Poets say that love gives meaning to existence We, for instance, Prove that point of view. I'm convinced our souls have searched A thousand lifetimes To find the right time Enter me and you. For forever you are all I need More than ever you are all I need For forever you are all I need For forever you are all I need For forever you are all I need For forever you are all I need |

Some sprint to snatch the prize in
My goal's the far horizon I guess I'm obsessed With that long slow distance. The fleet of feet won't please you All speed, they love and leave you Not me, as you see I love long slow distance. Listen, my pulse beats strong and steady My pace won't stall when I hit the wall Others fall by the wayside, heat-exhausted But I'm no coward I'm solar-powered As long as I know that you'll be there with me Face to face when I break the tape For the kiss when we cross the finish line. Some play the tempo given I hear a different rhythm Do you hear it too? For the long slow distance. My stride is smooth and easy Your touch can always lead me Off-route in pursuit Of some long slow distance. |

From the Towers of Babylon The beat goes on- All voices of the insincere. Confusion is middle C Your frequency is what I need to hear.Why won't you speak to me? Show me some affection, Give me some direction, Lead me to your love? Just speak to me- Don't torture me with silence. Solitude's a science I would rather not learn. For you I would lose my heart. How can you refuse my heart?Legend says Michelangelo Was moved to throw His hammer at the statue's knee. Resembling flesh and bone Its mouth of stone Was quiet company. |

I've wasted a lifetime Pursuing an image that did not exist Except in my own mind Except in my own dream. My life has convinced me That happines never can really be found Until you remember The voice of your own heart.It's all on the inside To say you can find it elsewhere Would be wrong. It's all on the inside Each soul has its song. It was here all along On the inside.It cannot be captured On canvas it cannot be Carved into stone. No art can sustain it Believe me I've tried. It always eludes you No matter what strategem You may devise. It's no destination A compass can find.There's only love on the inside No counterfeit no need for it. A perfect place for your heart to hide No danger near nothing to fear. Life's hurricane can't reach within. |

On the flight home to you Sure hope I don't miss my connection Nevertheless, if I do It's only a matter of time Until my arrival chez nous I'm heading in the right direction No turbulence-the sky is blue It's only a matter of time.When I come home With my arms around you I'll surround you Unplug the phone And roll down the blinds When I come home We'll work on our sunburns As the world turns Mangoes for breakfast Me and you Definitely chez nous.It won't take long An hour or two Until we're alone Chez nous Wear a sarong I can undo As soon as we're home Chez nous.Gardenias and jasmine in bloom The rhythm of rain in the palm trees A synchronized swim under moon- Light only a matter of time On the flight home to you Sure hope I don't miss my connection Nevertheless, if I do It's only a matter of time. |

(for P.Y.)
Here I am: "Hometown Boy Makes Good" Writes one critic. All my childhood I lived By the blue Pacific. Anytime that reality Makes me heartsick I come here just to stare At the blue Pacific Sea. And barefoot on the beach I watch for you on the horizon. That's where you promised you would be. I've seen your face before in my imagination. One day my eyes will learn to see. Here by the blue Pacific where The diamond water shimmers in the sun. By the blue Pacific where The gull still glides and waves divide The silence just like time. Understandably happy to be specific When I'm snorkeled and finned In the blue Pacific. I admire the damselfish Feel terrific As I float on the face Of the blue Pasific. |
