Vecchi amori
mi ricordano
quelle camminate strane
lungo il mare
soli, soli per la, spiaggia
a passeggiare
e tremavo dalla voglia
di guardarli
vecchi amori
che non vanno via
neanche quando il vento caldo
li porta via
a volare intorno al mondo
o infondo al mare
vecchi amori
che non ti
sanno capire
vecchi amori che riguardano il passato
ma nella mia mente non ho cancellato
vecchi amori
vecchi amori
vecchi amori che non mi hanno mai capito
ma di certo dentro il cuore mi hanno ferito
vecchi amori
che dolori
vecchi amori
mi ricordano
quelle lunghe camminate
in riva al mare
vecchi amori che ti stanno
in fondo al cuore
e nella mente mia resta
quel dolore
vecchi amori che ogni tanto vai a scavare
e nel cuore trovi sempre un' emozione
di un sapore
o di un dolore.
Vecchi amori che non mi hanno mai capito
ma di certo dentro il cuore mi hanno ferito
vecchi amori
vecchi amori
Angelo Dei Teppisti Dei Sogni - A Mia Madre lyrics
Un giorno volero' anch'io lassu'
tra le stelle che ogni sera guardo da quaggiu'
chissa' se trovero' lo stesso viso
e tutta la bonta' che dentro il cuore avevi tu
ma quanti anni passeranno ancora
per ritrovarci insieme per parlare come allora
e intanto per portarti nel mio cuore
non posso fare altro che cantarti cosi'
io ti cantero' io ti cantero'
e ti portero' nel mio cuore cosi'
io ti cantero' io ti cantero'
ti ricordero' in una canzone cosi'
io ti cantero' fino a quando avro' voce
e non trovero' pace perche' non stai con me
io ti cantero' io ti cantero'
in questa vita cosi'
a volte mi soffermo ad osservare
le cose tue e m'illudo di poterti ritrovare
ma sono certo che in quest' illusione
c'e' un sogno soffocato da una fredda realta'
tra le infinite scene della vita
anch'io avevo bisogno di un consiglio di un'amica
tu eri sempre qui per me presente
cosi' io ti ricordo e ti ricordero' 'per sempre
io ti cantero' io ti cantero'
e ti portero' nel mio cuore cosi'
io ti cantero' io ti cantero'
ti ricordero' in una canzone cosi'
io ti cantero' fino a quando avro' voce
e non trovero' pace perche' non stai con me

Everyone dreams
by Coverd in darkness
Persona of someone everyone dreams of,
Ever so charming, sweet and cute,
Someone unique unlike anyone else you'll ever meet,
Special in so many ways,
Wish our time together would never end,
Guess you can never know what's around the next bend,
They make you feel safe so very secure,
When they hold you it's hard to breathe,
Love so divine hope it never dies,
Eyes for nobody but you,
The love dedication one hundred percent true,
Holding you up high through every low,
There for you whenever you need,
Someone like that must be a dream.

A silly love note
A silly love note
With the passing of each day
I love you more in every way
It burns like a fire in my core
I want you more and more
You have all of my heart
had it right from the start
I never met anyone like you
Grandeur in all that you do
You are my brightest star
In my mind you 're never far
There is nothing I would not do
to make your wishes come true
Let me be your only dream
your love an endless stream
that runs through all of me
my face the only one you see
Other girls may want you
I can 't blame them if they do
but I want to be your only one
Don 't want to be outdone
So, here is my heart it 's for you
Treat it kindly in all you do
Handle me with love and respect
and that you will receive back
I am ending this silly poem now
Glad I found the words somehow

Lovers And Liars
by XLilMissFrostyx
They say you have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince
Took so long to find that I thought he didn't exist, wasn't convinced
But babe seems you got me believing once again in a fairytale
Love shown each and everyday is proving maybe this time it will prevail
Always been quick to fall in the past, giving into dangerous desire
Then realizing I'd only found Mr cheater, Mr Wrong and Mr liar
Only this time it feels so different, thinking I've found Mr right
A once broken and shattered heart you've caused to ignite
Tried so hard to fight how I felt, all of those growing feelings
Only now I'm feeling sure, this is one love that's so appealing
Caring, gentle, kind, affectionate...finally found my lover
Never would have guessed I had so much to learn and discover
Always fell for the bad guy, proceeded without hesitation
Each and every time, heartbreak was my only destination
This time feeling so safe and loved, yearning for your touch
Never would have guessed it possible for me to love so much
Only been a short time, but I'd be bereft without you in my life
Would be trying to live, but already know I would only survive
Days would be long, nights so empty, leaving me cold and frozen
I'd finally truly understand the meaning of being heart broken
They say you have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince
Took so long to find that I thought he didn't exist, wasn't convinced
But babe seems you got me believing me once again in a fairytale
Love shown each and everyday is proving maybe this time it will prevail
They say you have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince
Took so long to find that I thought he didn't exist, wasn't convinced
But babe seems you got me believing once again in a fairytale
Love shown each and everyday is proving maybe this time it will prevail
Always been quick to fall in the past, giving into dangerous desire
Then realizing I'd only found Mr cheater, Mr Wrong and Mr liar
Only this time it feels so different, thinking I've found Mr right
A once broken and shattered heart you've caused to ignite

Only now I'm feeling sure, this is one love that's so appealing

Torn between two lovers
by Dream Angel
Torn between two lovers
Hearing her sweet voice on the line
brings out deep feelings so divine
In his minds he sees her radiant eyes
of emerald green clear as the skies
Her long blond hair, shiny and soft as silk
Smooth velvet skin an ivory shade, like milk
Her words make him feel special, so alive
And into the ocean of love and lust he dives
feeling guilty for the girl that lives with him
But being with her made his world grow dim
He is in love with the lady that captured his heart
who made him feel king of the world from the start

The Story of Our Hearts
by Aussie XoX Harlea FoReVa
The Story of Our Hearts
Wondering through the night so dark,
Thinking about the girl, who lit my spark.
No flashlight or moon will make my day;
Just the essence of our love, shining my way.
As the stars come forth; to clear our trail,
To light up our future; to speak of love that wont fail.
A lonesome shadow is cast astray in the dark,
As we walk that path; holding hands in the park.
From the trees we hear a devoted owl singing in tune,
Singing so softly; pausing to stare at the rising moon..
Like a lovable lullaby being sung by my one and only,
We are together, yet the owl is so lonely.
As each half of the moon, rises from the east and west,
Meeting at the centre of our bodies, this part is the best.
Two halves of the moon come together to be one,
Resembling The Story of Our Hearts, thy deed has been done.

Daydream
Whenever I day dream,
and day dream I do,
in my secret garden,
I day dream of you.
I day dream of you,
in a faraway land;
embracing me tight
and holding my hand.
Holding my hand,
and touching my face.
Just you and me,
in this peaceful place.
In this peaceful place
a pristine river flows.
Where the unicorns run,
a breeze always blows.
A breeze always blows
and sings of a song;
our love in a place
where you're never gone.
Where you're never gone
is as it would seem,
from dusk until dawn,
whenever I day dream.
And whenever I day dream,
and day dream I do,
in my secret garden,
I day dream of you.

Reflections of a Beautiful Morning
The sun rises above the hillcrest,
As does the joy of my heart;
Rays of warmth and love,
From her I will never depart.
Fresh dew upon the grass,
Young birds chirp in their nests;
I watch her gently sleep,
My love to her I silently profess.
I enjoy the stillness and calm,
Watching as she smiles and dreams;
She brings me to stillness and peace,
Like that of a slow flowing stream.
My heart and soul flow with love,
And I smile as I quietly reflect;
I’ve been handed a sweet princess,
A sweet princess to love and to protect.
A vow to myself I make,
As she quietly sleeps away;
To love and always cherish her,
Until my last breath... until my last day.

How To Cook Beef Brisket-Dry Heat
Smoke cooking or barbecuing is a dry heat cooking method. There is no liquid surrounding the brisket.
It is low and slow however.
The temperature of the cooker should be maintained at, or at least close to, 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking times depend of the size of the brisket but can be upwards of 10 hours for a whole brisket.
This is the favorite cooking method for barbecued brisket in Texas. It does have fans all over the U.S. and even the whole world.
The method does require a smoke cooker. They come in several types but the one I own is a water smoker. A water smoker has three sections, which are a firebox, a water pan and a cooking area.
The water pan is located between the firebox and the cooking area, which shields the cooking area from direct heat and also adds moisture to the air to help keep the brisket from drying out.
Another popular type of smoke cooker is the offset. This type has a firebox on the side of a cooking chamber. It doesn't have a water pan because the cooking chamber is not in a direct line with the firebox.

How To Cook Beef Brisket-Moist Heat
If I'm cooking fresh brisket with a moist heat method I prefer braising. Boiling and stewing just don't seem to apply to brisket. Even though it might be good. I've just never tried it.
Braising is a cooking method by which the brisket is first browned in fat and then simmered, tightly covered, in a small amount of liquid at low heat for a lengthy period of time.
Braised Brisket The long, slow cooking develops the flavor of the brisket and tenderizes it by gently breaking down its fibers.
The internal temperature of the meat reaches a level that is sufficiently high to melt the connective tissues and the fat.
The moisture in the pan prevents the outer portions of the meat from drying out until the internal temperature is reached.
Braising can be done on top of the range or in the oven. A tight-fitting lid is very important to prevent the liquid from evaporating.
A crock-pot is the ideal braising tool for braising brisket.

How to cook brisket
There are many different ways to cook a brisket — from barbequing on the grill to slow cooking in an oven.
A brisket is generally divided into two parts, the flat and the point. For barbecued brisket (on the grill) you will want it undivided. You will also want it untrimmed, also called a "Packer's Cut". The layer on top is called the fat cap. The fat cap is very important, as it will keep the brisket moist while it is smoking. The fat cap should be about 1/3 - 1/4 inch thick.
Brisket may be purchased whole or split, trimmed or packer style (fat cover intact), in sizes from 4 to 18 pounds. Feeding an army or just yourself, brisket is as excellent slow smoked over low coals for half a day on the barbecue as it is succulent when conveniently simmered for several hours in the oven under a tight lid.
The flat is just that: Sort of a flat, rectangular piece of meat that makes up the majority of the whole brisket. This is the portion that is cut across the grain into slices and served on a plate or in a sandwich. You've probably seen the flat in the meat case at the supermarket, separated from the point and with most fat removed, ready for braising in the oven.
The point is a lump of meat that partially overlaps one end of the flat. It is quite fatty on its surface as well as within the meat. It also contains a lot of connective tissue between the meat fibers. It can be sliced, but its loose texture after cooking makes it a better choice for chopped brisket sandwiches.
Fast and easy brisket Ingredients: 3-4 lbs. flat beef brisket 1 bottle chili sauce 1 can Coke 1 packet dry onion soup mix Preheat oven to 300°F. Combine chili sauce, Coke and soup mix. Place brisket in a foil-lined baking pan. Pour sauce mixture over brisket and cover with another sheet of foil sealing edges. Bake at 300°F for 3 to 3-1/2 hours until tender.

Stir together brown sugar and mustard to form a thin paste for the glaze. Spread over top of brisket. 5. Bake brisket on middle rack 20 minutes until glaze bubbles and is browned. Let brisket stand 5 to 10 minutes before slicing across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices for serving.
Roasted brisket with beer Ingredients: 1 four to five lb. flat brisket 2 thinly sliced onions 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons Westershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1 Can beer 1 Cup ketchup or barbeque sauce
Directions: 1. Place onions in roasting pan and put the brisket (fat side up) on top of onions. 2. Spread Westershire sauce and minced garlic on top of brisket. Sprinkle salt and pepper. 3. Pour beer around (not on top of) the brisket. 4. Cover pan tightly with lid or heavy duty aluminum foil 5. Bake at 275 degrees approximately four hours 6. Uncover and spread ketchup or barbeque sauce on top of brisket. 7 Bake an additional hour until fork tender.
Tip- To thinly slice cooked brisket, refrigerate several hours or overnight (wrapped in foil). Slice and reheat in low oven in covered pan.
As you learn how to cook brisket, you'll discover there are as many ways as there are cooks. Try experimenting with stewed tomatoes and various wines as well as an assortment of vegetables.
