Mettā (Pali: मेत्ता in Devanagari) or maitrī (Sanskrit: मैत्री) is loving-kindness, friendliness, benevolence, amity, friendship, good will, kindness, close mental union (on same mental wavelength), and active interest in others. It is one of the ten pāramīs of the Theravāda school of Buddhism, and the first of the four sublime states (Brahmavihāras). This is love without clinging (upādāna).
The cultivation of loving-kindness (mettā bhāvanā) is a popular form of meditation in Buddhism. In the Theravadin Buddhist tradition, this practice begins with the meditator cultivating loving-kindness towards themselves, then their loved ones, friends, teachers, strangers, enemies, and finally towards all sentient beings. In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, this practice is associated with tonglen (cf.), whereby one breathes out ("sends") happiness and breathes in ("receives") suffering. Tibetan Buddhists also practice contemplation of the Brahmavihāras, also called the four immeasurables, which they sometimes call 'compassion meditation'
Don't waste your lips on words I've heard before
Kiss my tired head.
And each letter written wastes your hand, young man
Come and lead me to your bed
You gave me hope that I'd not lost her
And then thought it rather strange to see me smile-
as I don't do too much smiling these days.
She put on happiness like a loose dress
Over pain I'll never know
"So the peace you had," she said,
"I must confess, I'm glad to see it go."
We're two white roses lying frozen just outside his door
I've made you so happy and so sad,
But which should I be more sorry for?
Come kiss my face goodbye,
that space below my eye and above my cheek
Cause I'm faint and fading fast, I see a darkness
And I shall be released.
I'll pass like a fever from this body,
And softly slip into his hands
I tried to love you and I failed,
But I have another plan.
How long, My Lord, how long to sing this song?
And my Lord, how muchmore of this pretending to be strong?
When she stands before your throne
Dressed in beauty not her own
All soft and small, you'll hear her call
and, dying, we reply
lowering our basket down into the open bed
of the fruit truck passing by
as we smile at each other,
me and my Cantaloupe Friend
cast our cares as a couple of Pears
set a Blueberry garland on Apple's head
who threw our half-baked fears
like a wooden shoe in the windmill gears
the turning stopped - we clearly saw:
the flaw is in that which finds the flaw!
while Strawberry says to Tangerine:
my face is red
but our hats are green
yours, the orchard,
mine the curling vine...
there is One Sun for us all
Ya subhannallah
hayyul Qayyum
Subhannallahi Amma Yassifun
Sallalah wallah Muhammad (Sal.)
Ya Rabbi sali alaihi wa salim
Lettuce grows in neatly sectioned
beds and rows
but one days asked the Gardener
to be moved to where the Eggplant grows
the reason being, I must confess,
I adore her shiny, purple dress!
as Eggplant listened in,
she wasn't offended
she wasn't impressed
while Potato called from underground:
you've got it all turned upside-down...
does the Rain that's sent each spring anew
to fall on her not fall on you?
you project on her your inward scenes,
she's a blank, external movie screen
while the One who looks out from your eyes
looks through hers and looks through mine
we all well know
we're gonna reap what we sow
so may I old-fashionably suggest
the Unmarried not undress?
we all well know
we're gonna reap what we sow
we all well know what kind of crops are gonna grow
from each time you disrespect your parents
oh, you'd better hope we don't hear it!
we who know: you're gonna reap what you sow
we all well know,
we're gonna reap what we sow
but Grace, we all know,
can take the place of all we owe
so why not let's Forgive
everyone
everywhere
e v e r y t h i n g
IÂ'd like to stay
But IÂ'm feeling very sorry for you
Life is too strange
I will not reply
Your easy flowing letter
Never ask why
You didnÂ't catch the matter
I tint your old tie and put in your cupboard for sometime
I brew you some caj
I should not forget to drink mine
I darn your old tights
In case of some lonely cold nights
DonÂ't show any tries
Just wanted to make myself satisfied
Maybe one day
We will talk about the weather
All rainy days passed by
Growing again
The touch of your hand above my
Heart and the kissing is tearing us apart
I tint your old tie
And put in your cupboard for sometime
I brew you some caj
I should not forget to drink mine
I darn your old tights
In case of some lonely cold nights
DonÂ't show any tries
SomethingÂ's going wrong
For so long, wrong direction
You caught me so strong
Once upon with self-reflection
But I feel so alone, in my home, in my role
No wonder you go when I want you so strong
Something must be done
One by one new obsession
But keep yourself calm
Ask your mum with no protection
But I feel so alone, in my home, in my role
No wonder you feel so alone
In this house in this home
Beyond all the differences go
Outside in the sun
ItÂ's june I swear it feels so good
ItÂ's june
I care if sunÂ's too hot for you
ItÂ's june come on and let it groove
So put on a jacket and come
I drive you in my car
I show you how different they are
Just look through the sun
ItÂ's june I swear it feels so good
ItÂ's june
I care if sunÂ's too hot for you
Goes to mine
Sweetest time
Lift up high
Till airÂ's too dry
DonÂ't be shy
Put on a smile
Day has turned
Now on your side
Would I suppose to be in time
Should I compose some fears I might
DonÂ't be shy
Put on a smile
Day has turned
And although youÂ're pushing me aside
Yes I saw the criminal inside you
I don't know how can I decide
Some years gone
NothingÂ's left to smile
Could be 'cause nobody had time
I have some reasons to divide
Just have this on your mind
And though tonight youÂ're pushing me aside
I go and don't want to be reminded at all
And though tonight you want me on your side
I go and donÂ't want to be in your mind at all
And although IÂ'm crashing down the stairs
My arms grow want to catch but air
My first thought how does look my hair
Some years gone
NothingÂ's left to smile
Could be 'cause nobody had time
I have some reasons to divide
Just have this on your mind
And though tonight youÂ're pushing me aside
I go and dont want to be reminded at all
And though tonight you want me on your side
Inside I know that you are mine
Deep inside I know itÂ's for a while
In this time you give me so much to smile
ItÂ's alright I will be by your side
Moonlight will shine wherever you sleep
ItÂ's alright, itÂ's alright
Soon IÂ'll be there wherever you need
ItÂ's alright and itÂ's alright
Tonight I want you to see clear
For all time you are my closest dear
I canÂ't describe dimension of wordÂ's not high
ItÂ's alright you know IÂ'm on your side
Moonlight will shine wherever you sleep
ItÂ's alright, itÂ's alright
Soon IÂ'll be there wherever you need
ItÂ's alright and itÂ's alright
I'll go where you will go
So far
And I will go with you so far
You know
Put your arms
Super tight
Around my neck and hold as long
As you like
But, please, super tight
Feel my blood runs through my veins
This indirect permission
Underneath my clothes
My heart, it pumps like it’s insane
This unconsciously movements
Driving me away
Till the end I believe
Till the end I believe
Till the end I, end I, end I believe
In you and me
Push yourself
Super tight
Close to me and stay as long
As you like
But, please, super tight
Feel my blood runs through my veins
This indirect permission
Underneath my clothes
My heart, it pumps like it’s insane
This unconsciously movements
Driving me away
Till the end I believe
Till the end I believe
Till the end I, end I, end I believe
Till the end I believe
Till the end I believe
Come in for a while
There is time
And biscuits handmade
Tell me how is life
Still survive
The one who drives
Keep on
Keep on going
(keep, keep on going)
September arrives
Supply of fuel and life
Remember past times
Don’t hide so shy
You’ll always be mine
Supply
You’ll always be mine
Feel free to enjoy
Me avoiding
And ignoring
Be my little boy
My handsome toy
Wonder joy
Keep on
Keep on going
(keep, keep on going)
Keep on
Keep on going
September arrives
Supply of fuel and life
Remember past times
Don’t hide so shy
You’ll always be mine
Don’t hide so shy, so shy
You’ll always be mine
You'll always be mine
You, you are my truth
Your grooves, they want me to move
My youth, a gift to you
This mood is passing like you do
Killer of my thriller
Go and just give her the love that you knew
And fill her with vanilla
And tell her she shouldn’t get fat too soon
Who except you
Will be as father so pure
And who will fill this room
With this sweet and sour perfume
Killer of my thriller
Go and just give her the love that you knew
And fill her with vanilla
And tell her she shouldn’t get fat too soon
Oh killer of my thriller
Go and just give her the love that you knew
And fill her with vanilla
And tell her she shouldn’t get fat too soon
Too soon
Too soon
Too soon
Compressing down my spine
To my childhood size
Pressure steals my shine
And now IÂ'm not, not mine
Wannabe so rushed out
Wannabe so washed out
Wannabe so screamed out
Wannabe so freaked out
Comparing to my time
As flashy butterfly
I didnÂ't have to climb
And gasping like IÂ'm not fine
Wannabe so rushed out
Wannabe so washed out
Wannabe so screamed out
Sometimes I cry for you
Sometimes I die for you
Sometimes my mind breaks through
With you
Sometimes I hide my tears
Sometimes I praise them real
Sometimes I end up here
In fear
Calling I love you
Longing it has to be
Something I want to
Fall in it has to be
Sometimes I break some steel
Sometimes my leg hurts real
Sometimes I change my wheels
To high heels
Sometimes I get to win
Sometimes I run into sin
Sometimes IÂ'm done 4, 3
And 2, 1
Calling I love you
Longing it has to be
Something I want to
Fall in it has to be
Crawl on
The top of
The deep down that
Toes touch
Fragile and strong
Caught up
On these spots
Let them be
Your shots
Fragile and strong
Still I will miss some
Underground wisdom
Still I will miss some
Worms in my bed
Still I will miss some
Silence with no stop
Never have kissed someone
Fragile and strong
Soft slush
And raindrops
Trickle into
Dust
Fragile and strong
Warms up
On these spots
Let them be
Your shots
Fragile and strong
Still I will miss some
Underground wisdom
Still I will miss some
Worms in my bed
Still I will miss some
Silence with no stop
Never have kissed someone
Fragile and strong
So strong
Fragile and so strong
So long
Fragile and so strong
Still I will miss some
Underground wisdom
Still I will miss some
Worms in my bed
Still I will miss some
Silence with no stop
Never have kissed someone
Fragile and strong
Fragile and strong
Strong
Still I will be long
What surprise to be with you
Can't deny I love you
What depends you on you all
For this time I forgive you
Common size is what fits you
Can't deny I mugged you
Compromise often hits you
In the end that we’ll spend
Oh so deep, deep down
Deeper than down, how deep can you fall
So deep, deep down
The bottom of all, how deep can you fall
The bottom of all, how deep can you fall
Sticky lies paralyze you
Can't deny it surprised you
Hypnotized by the brand new
Shining belt that you’ve spent
To obsess what you see
And achieve what you need
Now get dressed for this eve
Don’t forget to believe in you
Oh so deep, deep down
Deeper than down, how deep can you fall
So deep, deep down
The bottom of all, how deep can you fall
Oh so deep, deep down
Deeper than down, how deep can you fall
So deep, deep down
The bottom of all, how deep can you fall
The bottom of all, how deep can you fall
Oh so deep, deep down
Oh so deep, deep down
The bottom of all, how deep can you fall
My oh my, deep sense of humour
Time to time, my sweetest delights
Can not hide my dependence on blue notes
And quiet nights
Could it be that I
Found myself drinking
Could it be that I’m
The one that I love
Could it be that I
Found myself thinking
That I’m
Stuck in my middle
Sometimes I get under pressure
I minimize, despite useful signs
Keep on trying to play the piano
With one hand
Slipped one time and opened a huge port
Felt some pride, but still critical time
I need to find my deep sense of humour
For this time
Could it be that I
Found myself drinking
Could it be that I’m
The one that I love
Could it be that I
Found myself thinking
That I’m
Stuck in my middle
Stuck in my middle
Could it be that I
Found myself drinking
Could it be that I’m
The one that I love
Could it be that I
Found myself thinking
That I’m
Stuck in my middle
Could it be that I
Could it be that I
That I'm
Killing the night
Is thrilling me right
Holding that kind
Of childhood in my mind
Wanna be wise
Gonna survive
Reasons divided
By the tear in my eye
Feeling the need
For healing IÂ'm weak
Falling asleep
Saves us from the deep
Comes from inside
As feeding a child
This state of blind
Puts in my mind
That IÂ'll care for you
Life becomes so flat, oh no
Comes and goes an goes just up and down
Never getting fat, not for long
Comes and goes an goes just up and down
Pretending to death
Screaming as loud as I can
Steamy toilet
Fleeing as fast as I can
Diao, didiao
Love becomes a minor
Diao, . . .
Stepping into final
Love has touched me yes, not for long
Comes and goes an goes just up and down
Everything got messed, so long
Comes and goes an goes just up and down
Defending my breath
Breathing as fast as I can
Steamy toilet
Dreaming upset as I am
Diao, didiao
Love becomes a minor
Diao, . .
Stepping into final
Screaming IÂ'm screaming
Upset as IÂ'm feeling
I guess IÂ'm just dreaming and though
I know
IÂ'm dreaming and dreaming for sure
Calling up to prove
I knew
My goal is you
Tons of butter flew
Into slippery moves
Oh love is the feeling that I need pure
Foolish and new
Oh love is the feeling that we’ve obscured
Blemished torture
Give me handsome moves
And do
Nothing but you
Tons of matters brew
I assume in honour to you
Love is the feeling that I need pure
Foolish and new
Oh love is the feeling that we’ve obscured
Blemished torture
Give me handsome moves
Give me handsome moves
Give me handsome moves
Oh love is the feeling that I need pure
Foolish and new
Oh love is the feeling that we’ve obscured
I’m falling too deep
In your arms I’m a creep
I’m weak and cheap
Unfold to seek
I’m older but I freak
No border when you’re with
Me and kiss
My cheek
You’ll be a better brother
You, you will be
You, you will be
You’ll be a better brother
You, you will be but not for me
You’ll be a better brother
You, you will be
You, you will be
You’ll be a better brother
You, you will be but not for me
You, you will be but not for me
No touching I bleed
My wounds are still too deep
Weepy me
Sleepy still
No matching indeed
I’m losing my feel free
To hush
You’ll be a better brother
You, you will be
You, you will be
You’ll be a better brother
You, you will be but not for me
You’ll be a better brother
You, you will be
You, you will be
You’ll be a better brother
You, you will be but not for me
You'll be
You, you will be
You, you will be
You'll be
You, you will be but not for me
You'll be
E-e-e-e e-e-e-e
You'll be
Because, because
I’m the greatest girl
I just keep on, keep on
Walking through the skirts
I always feel comfortable
And always feel free of bad sounds
You can freak out, freak out
Underneath my toes
Tongue in cheek boy, cheek boy
Tumbling on the floor
And always feel comfortable
Always feel free of bad thoughts
So I breathe, I breathe
Breathe in the smell of this breeze
Oh I keep, I keep
I keep on and force my strong will
Because, because
I am not a toy
I just keep on, keep on
Hanging out my balls
I always feel comfortable
And always feel free of bad ones
So I breathe, I breathe
Breathe in the smell of this breeze
Oh I keep, I keep
I keep on and force my strong will
Keep, just keep
Keep on your dark side for me
Oh I’ll beat, just beat
I’ll beat down the desert indeed
Oh I'll
La la la la
La la la la
Oh I'll
La la la la
This song comes along
With no blankets on
I’m the one
Look I feel strong
Not for long
I’ll miss the train
To jump on your
Journey’s long
With no signs for love
Must be wrong
To carry on
Someone
Who needs the freedom
To weep and to creep
Wannabe warrior
Weep and to creep
A warrior
To come and go for long
With no borders known
Catch the wrong
No, I’m not the one
Who gets drunk
And sit still and waits for
To weep and to creep
Wannabe warrior
Weep and to creep
Awake in your dreams
No time to sleep
Hugging the sweet
The little that breathes
How could I know
That you wouldn’t go
Away from this beat
Of my heart so deep
Struggling to feed
Your will to believe
That I couldn’t know
How could I know
I couldn’t know
That you wouldn’t go
Again I shiver
My heart gets bigger
This must be a trigger
That I cannot cope with
How could I know
How could I know
I break up with skills
No time to sleep
Trying just kills
My senses, my will
How could I know
That you wouldn’t go
Away from this beat
Of my heart so deep
Struggling to feed
Your will to believe
That I couldn’t know
How could I know
I couldn’t know
That you wouldn’t go
Again I shiver
My heart gets bigger
This must be a trigger
That I cannot cope with
How could I know
That everything
Again I shiver
Bigger
Trigger
That I cannot cope with
How could I know
Everything goes
Out of control
But my baby’s now at home
But my baby’s now at home
I belong to you sincerely
Showing this comes out so rarely
You’re the one
That I belong to
Karma seems to bear and bury
Hunts for us although we’re scary
You’re the one
That I
Want to be straight
No time to wait
Let’s try to escape
And get into this bed
Squeeze me and tease
Hug me and please
No time to freeze
Let’s stay in bed, please
Till the end of this week
I belong to you sincerely
Showing this comes out so rarely
You’re the one
That I belong to
Karma seems to bear and bury
Hunts for us although we’re scary
You’re the one
That I
Want to be straight
No time to wait
Let’s try to escape
And get into this bed
Squeeze me and tease
Hug me and please
No time to freeze
Let’s stay in bed, please
Till the end of this week
Could it be the one
Could it be the one
Could it be the one
Karma seems to bear and bury
Hunts for us although we’re scary
Go on tour
So did I for so long
Saw the poor
So did I play much more
Lost my shoes
Meant to survive without tools
Blues comes through
And my heart started to brew
Gonna keep my guy
Gonna ...
Cold blue toes
Seem to guide rivers flow
Old man shows
How amused everything goes
Caught some news
Meant the right to break you
Abused my fool
