    love in the nature

    In summertime, our love is delicate, like rose floating in the breeze.
    In wintertime, our love is warm — it floats from arm to toes.
    If skies are blue, our love is pacefull — two people dancing in the sun.
    If thunder rolls our love is calm, a refuge from the falling rain.
    When spring flowers bloom, our love is bold, like pink petals on the tulip.
    When autumn leaves fall, our love is bronze, shining bright like a harvest sunset.
    From spring till easter our love will continue to admire.
    From season to season I love you always! My one, my only, my my darling.

    The dying rose

    One cold bullet towards her,
    In the winter where you froze,
    Just that very one left rose
    Fast vanish from where it was.

    This planet, my world
    this comfortable house of mine

    looking out the windows
    the blue skyes are now gray
    and the trees all sliced in a half

    i love my house
    i don't want to destry it
    but then, why all i feel is guilt?

    my house is falling apart
    and i'm dying with it
    everyone loves their houses
    but they're destroying it

    The way you protect

    You find so many people are sneak
    But you, you are mostly unique

    I like the way you protect.
    You are just so suspect.
    I like the way you love.
    You do it like a shove.
    I like the way you be careful.

    You find so many people are dutiful
    But you, you are mostly beautiful

    I love the way you have no hair,
    Spreading your style everywhere.
    You're like a style fountain.
    Enough zazz for a whole mountain.

    You find so many people are semiprecious
    But you, you are mostly precious

    You're the perfect woman.
    No one brings me joy like you can.

    You find so many people are lean
    But you, you are mostly clean

    Unique, beautiful and precious,
    Clean and young too,
    Are the qualities of you

    You find so many people are bung
    But you, you are mostly young

    You find so many people are green
    But you, you are mostly clean

    I love the way you wear your hair,
    Spreading your style everywhere.
    You're like a style fountain.
    Enough zazz for a whole mountain.

    You find so many people are sunny
    But you, you are mostly funny

    You're the perfect girl.
    Leaving me in such a whirl.

    You find so many people are yearlong
    But you, you are mostly strong

    Adorable, loving and clean,
    Funny and strong too,
    Are the qualities of you

    You find so many people are horrible
    But you, you are mostly adorable

    it's so hot, warm my heart.

    Nature Of Love

    Birds in flight
    In this lush forest night
    Their house was cut down
    There was no forest left to fall in love
    With in this dark night

    The wind couldn’t find a tree to blow its leaves
    The wind had given up watches
    Started counting the days
    Stopped blowing it
    Stopped counting this days

    Forever beautiful mother nature,
    They don't know how you are worth.
    How can we live if the flowers don't bloom and the birds don't chirp?

    If men can't give roses to their loved ones,
    If they can't sit under the trees,
    What's the meaning of love?

    Mother nature you are the meaning of everything.
    But we will do anything to win you back.

    Even when my eyes are closed,

    Our Lovely Nature

    I can hear the birds singing.
    I can hear the rustling of the trees.
    Is it possible not to fall in love
    With our lovely nature?

    Colorful flowers,
    Peaceful sounds,
    Covered me
    In our lovely nature!

    If birds stop singing happily,
    If animals was homeless,
    If nature was harmed,
    How would we be happy
    If we want to be happy,
    We must care about our nature and live peacefully with animals

    Nature

    Back when there was no human
    In our whole wide world
    Nature was peaceful
    Not lonely and wistful

    When we start to come
    Earth was filled with poison
    And she was too overwhelmed
    With all the evil things in it

    First she welcomed us
    With her beautiful sun and clouds
    Animals come together
    And had a deal with flowers
    They agreed to protect us
    From all the things we've done
    And all the things we've taken away

    We didn't think about it
    We were so blind
    We forget the things to be done
    When we realised what we've done
    It was too late to overcome

    Now mother nature screams
    With her lungs connected to trees
    People can't still hear the call
    Because they're too busy with internet and all

    It's time to respond to the call
    And say we're here to help
    We will protect every part of it
    Like it did when we born into it

    Non uccidete il mare,

    anche di questo è fatto
    l’uomo. E chi per profitto vile
    fulmina un pesce, un fiume,
    non fatelo cavaliere
    del lavoro. L’amore
    finisce dove finisce l’erba
    e l’acqua muore. Dove
    sparendo la foresta
    e l’aria verde, chi resta
    sospira nel sempre più vasto

    potrebbe tornare a essere bella,

    love nature

    I walk in the middle of the meadow, there are some burnt flowers. Someone has no love for nature, and I think you should respect more what you love, others and especially nature. For me, nature is a place of tranquility and gives me serenity and if someone were to destroy it, he should be punished in some way.

    My Love

    We had a love
    But this love will not stay with us
    This love will stay under the ground
    Or under the metal like a car
    Because our love is not for a person
    Our love is for earth or sun or water
    But we are sad because of this love
    Because he will always love us
    But our love will end eventually

    Love You Always

    In summertime, our love is delicate, like roses floating in the breeze.
    In wintertime, our love is warm — it ends from eyes to toes.
    If skies are blue, our love is overwhelmed — two people flying in the sun.
    If thunder rolls our love is grace, a refuge from the falling rain.
    When spring flowers bloom, our love is bold, like red petals on the orchid.
    When autumn leaves fall, our love is gold, shining bright like a harvest moon.
    From summer till christmas our love will continue to shine.
    From season to season I love you always. My one, my only, my life.

    The most beautiful

    I like the way you eat.
    You are just so fleet.
    I like the way you walk.
    You do it like hoc.
    I like the way you talk.
    You find so many people are dutiful
    But you, you are mostly beautiful

    A World State of Mind (The Head Hip Hop) By Chiara

    Yeah, yeah
    Ayo, people, it's time.
    It's time, people

    The angel drops deep as does my flamingo.
    I never walk, 'cause to walk is the partner of lingo.
    Beyond the walls of puppies, life is defined.
    I think of love when I'm in a world state of mind.

    In a world state of mind.
    What more could you ask for? The strong angel?
    You complain about poverty.
    I gotta love it though - somebody still speaks for the archangel.
    Wild, lonely, cool, like a cat.
    I would tried to kiss I guess I got no app.

    I'm rappin' to the shed,
    And I'm gonna move your head.
    Yea, yaz, in a world state of mind.

    When I was young my partner had a cap.
    I never thought I'd see that app.
    A wet teddy is quite the heady.
    Thinking of love. Yaz, thinking of love.

    Always, forever

    In summertime, our love is soft, like orchids floating in the breeze.
    In wintertime, our love is warm — it floats from eyes to toes.

    If skies are blue, our love is cheerful — two people dancing in the sun.
    If thunder rolls our love is astonished, a refuge from the falling rain.

    When spring flowers bloom, our love is bold, like yellow petals on the tulip.
    When autumn leaves fall, our love is gold, shining bright like a harvest amethyst.

    From Winter solstice till Summer solstice our love will continue to set.
    From season to season I love you always! My one, my only, my Heather.

    When spring flowers bloom, our love is bold, like red petals on the daisy.
    When autumn leaves fall, our love is bronze, shining bright like a harvest girl.

    if thunder rolls our love is warm, a refuge from the heavy rain.

    when spring flowers bloom, our love is bold, like blue petals on the rose.
    when autumn leaves fall, our love is silver, shining bright like a harvest night.

    from autumn sunsets till summer sunrises our love will continue to bloom.
    from season to season I love you always! my one, my only, my darling angel.

    No melody is sweeter, nor could Orpheus
    So have bewitched. I think of this,
    And all my universe becomes perfection.
    But were you in my arms, dear love,
    The happiness would take my breath away,
    No thought could match that ecstasy,
    No song encompass it, no other worlds.
    If I should think of love,
    I'd think of you.
