Lyrics

Namaste

June 13, 2021 by Jim Desiderati

Namaste

Thank you all for kindness, the energy you share

Little bits of each of you that show me that you care

We all have many challenges that fill the air we breathe

We choose to offer love and hope, it’s what we all believe

Never doubt the power, in just a simple smile

It lifts a soul along this path for mile after mile

Thank you for the energy, the kindness of today

In honor of this life we share I wish you ~ Namaste

A Dream’s Death

July 22, 2019 by Jim Desiderati

“I’m dying.”

Note of each word, perfect resolution.
No amount of hope now tethered fast
I tugged at each sweep of fate’s hand
My thoughtful response, choked in silence

Everybody knew. I believed it now, they always had.
A wave of hot foolish shame warmed my face
I had always known. I believed it now, I always had.

One more look into that hope
Just one more ride on one more wave
Dusty sentries of vintage bests
Stood ready stoic just near by

Deep Sigh’s echo drifting softly
Out of sight now in my mind
All of life envisioned spotlights
Curtains closing for all time

Everybody knew. I believed it now, they always had.
A wave of hot foolish shame warmed my face
I had always known. I believed it now, I always had

All The Way Around

May 2, 2019 by Jim Desiderati

All the way around

It isn’t that I want to go. The hurt was just so bad

There is no way that you’d know. Please now, don’t be mad

It isn’t always easy, living with such pain

Life is never fair, see. The struggle was insane

 

Remember that I love you, and all the love we found

Life is often just so sad. All the way around

 

Please never forget me. Keep our shared love strong

I will be here with you. When you hear this song

It isn’t that I left you. I will always be close by

I am in each tear drop. Together we can cry

 

Remember that I love you, and all the love we found

Life is often just so sad. All the way around

Simple Needs

June 5, 2017 by Jim Desiderati

 
 
Life’s routine, the daily scene
The clock, the job, the car
 
Endless lines, the pointless minds
Look at where we are
 
Whats gone wrong, night’s too long
Days are speeding past
 
Wonder why, we sometimes cry
how can we ever last
 
Simple Needs, those special needs
something like a dream
Lasts a while, makes you smile
So simple, yet so extreme
 
But look around, whats lost is found
We’er surely not alone
 
For misery, loves company
there’s always someone home
 
Life’s routine, the daily scene
the ritual never ends
 
Yet bearable, thanks to the soul
and talents of a friend

Children of the Lonely

June 5, 2017 by Jim Desiderati

I don’t know how to say this, I can’t seem to find the words

Time slipped between us, we’ve lived in separate worlds

Somehow we’ve survived, heads held high in the sky

Somewhere there’s an answer, I see the question in your eyes

Let’s just           get together

Let’s not           cry forever

We are             not the only

Children           of the lonely

Some hopeless love affair-Crying it’s not fair-Sleepless night’s despair

Wondering who’s to blame-living with the shame-life’s just not the same

Somehow we’ve survived, heads held high in the sky

Somewhere there’s an answer, see the questions in my eyes

I think that you see now,I hope you will know

Time slipped between us, now it’s time to grow

Let’s just           get together

Let’s not           cry forever

We are             not the only

Children           of the lonely

 

7-17-1983 for my little sister Penny

Memories

July 28, 2015 by Jim Desiderati

Every time I sit alone
and think about the past
I find it hard to realize
some things can never last

Years of tears and lonely nights
have passed before my eyes
those memories of love gone by
keep burning up inside

But when I look into your eyes
they sparkle and they shine
the taste of love upon your lips
is the sweetest of all wines

You’ve shown the sorrow in my heart
the happiness it needs
and filled my soul right from the start
with loves own golden seeds

We’re living in a world I know
that’s full of hate and war
but without love the richest are
the poorest of the poor

Although our lives are full
of cruel and harsh reality
the richest are the poor of those
been hurt but let love be

May 1981
