In Lovers Should Never Quarrel, his seventh collection of poetry, author George E. Samuels shares his heart and seeks to help others share theirs. His poetry of love expresses those thoughts we want to communicate to our mates and family. He explains that the universe is full of love and that it is a waste of time for everyone to quarrel when what they really want to do is love each other. Love is a pure emotion that exists like a single thread among all of us and beyond that knows no bounds; we must simply embrace love and nurture it. Tell your loved ones that you love them, and try to never quarrel. This poetry collection offers a path directly to the heart. The Loving Song Being of one is the being of another Leaving one Only to be with another Only smiles and laughter make you feel You have what you have been after. A very special Love A touch of your lips warm waves, vibrations of breath Kisses when you came Kisses when you left playing that Song forming a place of Love A place of care, Loving can't be wrong For loving is a Song.

Chapter One

       Blessed are the Lovers


    Blessed are the lovers
    Loving their way home
    To be loved in a certain way
    The dust blows up
    The mud sinks
    The lovers think
    Is that all there is
    Love for loves sake
    Whether they live together
    Or get to eat the wedding cake
    They sing,
    They laugh for laughs sake
    And they play for the high stakes
    Love is the name
    Love is the game
    After love what remains
    Is it gold?
    Is silver there?
    For them to spend
    So does a diamond cut both ways?
    Is there love in the night?
    The same as the day
    Can you breathe love?
    Give love for loves sake
    Or do you wish to get something
    That you feel is at stake
    But is it your love to take
    Is a heart only a card game?
    Or is love and the heart, really have,
    The same name, or meaning
    Or it is just some subtle feeling
    Where is love when it is gone
    Or is it forlorn
    Only in thought
    Or is it fondly sought
    For selfish reasons
    Or for sex in loves season
    When the flowers bloom and the pollen is blown
    Into your lover's nostril own
    So it causes you to chase
    Your lover from first base to home base
    Saying it is in due season
    And lovers are loving,
    Or is it for lovers being lovers
    Without any selfish meaning
    And the love is for unconditional love
    And there not be another reason.


       Washing


    Washing
    Cleaning
    Dusting It off
    Clearing the cobwebs away
    Opening the window to a new day
    Letting in the sun light
    Letting out the fear and fright
    I knew my heart was there
    And the way to it however obscure was clear
    For one to see
    If it was truly me
    And you could move in and check out the view
    If you were really true
    And showed how sincere
    You were
    And that you do truly care
    And willing to stand up
    And show to me how rare
    Is your love
    Clean, washed in the sea of purity
    Ready to flow into my river
    And comfort me with absolute clarity
    So that I will appreciate this gem of rarity
    And will cherish this and you
    And likewise show you too my sincerity
    As we bathe together for an eternity!


       Begin Again

    Begin again
    See you when
    See how to let go
    And a new begin
    You love crime
    Some love grime
    Why I don't care
    None of this is a race
    Jails full of convinced,
    Participants that sin is the win
    Have failed to prove their case
    The agony on their face
    Life drained, their life out of pace
    With the rest of the race

    Love is divine
    Not fit for a life of crime
    But to be convicted of love
    Then you can rise up above
    Out of the mire
    Tempered in the fire
    For all to admire
    That you are changed
    No longer a hater
    No more the love of crime

    Ready to make the climb
    So subtle, so sublime
    That you are the hero
    This is your time
    To show your heart
    Is open again

    You have let go of the sin
    And where you have been
    To be in a new place
    And you can now see,
    Me with my new face!


       I Want To............


    I want to cry
    I want to laugh
    I want to holler
    I want to be quiet
    I want to be sad
    I want to feel happy
    I want to be angry
    I want to be peaceful
    I want to hate
    I want to love
    I want to hit
    I want to stop the fighting
    All of these things I want
    But don't need
    Today I plant the seed
    To get rid of all the things I don't need
    And focus on what the Soul feeds
    To make me and you a better person
    And lets forget the things I have done
    So I can grow to play with others
    And have fun
    Knowing this is all that matters
    Love, peace, happiness,
    And helping others!

Chapter Two

Learning

       What is Never?


    What is never?
    Where is it located?
    How do I reach it?
    Is it a journey?
    Long or short
    Near or far away
    In the hills
    On the mountain tops
    Never
    Have you been there?
    Which direction did you go?
    Do you have a map?
    Is it close to,
    A place called Ever
    Who lives there?
    What is their business?
    Should I ask these questions?
    Never
    Why, not too soon
    Am I close?
    Did you pack to ever get there?
    Never
    Why not
    It's all in your mind
    Never mind
    As if ever
    Was following you
    Never seen it before
    But I think I will
    Head in another direction
    To the land of Yes
    I can be all I can be
    Now and forever
    Don't believe those
    Who say you can't succeed
    Your dream, your vision
    They say never
    You say whatever!


       A Great Weigh


    If you put love and hate on a scale
    Which would weigh heavier or lighter?
    I think Love is lighter,
    Hate is too heavy to carry around
    So I traded it for love
    Love is so easy it almost floats
    And makes you light on your feet
    Is the wave as great as the dust storm?
    I don't know but the wave of love
    Coursing thru the plains, doesn't kick up much of a storm
    As the dust you hate to breathe somehow kicks it up
    Sunshine's on the plain and lights up hearts everywhere
    As those who hate the Light of the sun
    Hide in the dark on a cloudy day as you see the blue sky
    Or is it hidden like the love in your heart
    You try to keep hidden even from yourself
    French fries make a dish but the love bubbling up in you
    Makes you itch for the same dish
    Like the longing for another kiss sweet as honey
    Just like bees that take the risk to pollinate the flowers
    And make us believe it's worth the risk
    Great is the dawn holding back the sea
    But can't hold back the love trying to unfold
    To reach a loved ones heart
    Whether done shyly or bold
    Greater is the history of what was
    But not greater than the greatest love story ever told.


       Can You Compare

    Elephants have big trunks
    Lions have big paws
    Tigers have big feet
    Buffaloes have big butts
    Deer big horns
    Fools big wrongs
    Eagles big wings
    Haters' big hang-ups
    Fighters' big lumps
    Athletes take big jumps
    Painters' big brushes for their art
    And lovers have big hearts.


       Part of Whose Life???


    Is love a part of our life
    Is hate a part of another's' life
    It's not a part of my life
    My heart is not to be used as a tool
    To play me for a song
    To practice hate is wrong
    To not give me your love
    Is also wrong when all is said and done.


       Break from ignorance


    I break from ignorance
    Because it is not the way
    To be when we are not ignorant
    The act is up
    The shield is drawn away from the door
    The window is open
    So like a bird we are to take our leave
    Our flight from the way of those
    Who will think we are ignorant

    No more I say
    Today is the day
    We leave the ignorant behind
    And look forward
    To the way we are, intelligent, wise
    And full of knowledge
    Of who we are today
    To be and the way
    In which we are to gain
    The flame of truth
    Burning away the dross,
    The gross, the Ignorance,
    The break of a new day
    We are free!


       The Truth Will Come to Light

    The truth will come to light
    The lovers say
    That is the lovers' way
    I say I love you
    You say I love you too
    But do you really care
    Should not be, if you dare
    Are you really in love?
    Do you care enough?
    Are you ready to prove you're up to snuff?
    Because love is not enough
    Unless you care, when
    Things get enough
    When times seem low
    I want your love to flow
    When times are high
    I don't want you to deny
    That it is, I you love
    Not the noise of the party
    That gives you a shove
    Or distraction from below or above
    The truth will come to light
    If you think you can leave me
    And take flight
    When I am not around
    And others come to play
    Just because I am the game for a day
    Or I am out of sight
    And you have to consider what's
    Wrong or right
    Because the mind is vast
    Real love in the heart,
    Must be strong enough to last
    But real love is in the present
    And in the past
    As the future will unfold
    And love is the story untold
    As we learn to love each other
    And grow old
    A truth to be told
    But if you really don't care
    And just having fun on a dare
    And you can survey the damage done
    But then it is the finding out
    The bill of goods I was sold
    About, you really did care
    Is only truth and lies
    Glad its time
    For, the truth to come to light.


       The Life of Smiles

    In the life of smiles
    There is sadness
    In the life of smiles
    There is much rain
    In the life of smiles
    There is torment
    In the life of smiles
    There is pain
    In the life of smiles
    There is a sun that shines
    In the life of smiles
    There is a reality beyond the illusion
    In the life of smiles
    There is real happiness
    In the life of smiles
    There is a heart beating for someone else
    To succeed not fail
    In the life of smiles
    There is a sound so sweet
    We call it music
    So intoxicating the ocean sways
    In the life of smiles
    Frowns turn to smiles
    Melting ice turned into water then steam
    In the life of smiles
    Hope lives, dreams come true
    And space defies gravity
    In the life of smiles
    We remember we are not alone
    Except when we forget who we are
    And our place amongst the stars
    In the life of smiles
    We keep on smiling, laughing
    And know the heart melts,
    The goal of our intentions in order
    To refine our thoughts and emotions
    So we can rise above the sky
    To walk amongst the heavens
    As angels watch us
    Strive to be as they are!

Chapter Three

Nature Calls

       The Love of Nature


    The love of nature
    Do we care?
    Are we lonely without it?
    Can it be we are in love?
    For those who can love
    Or is the problem we hate ourselves
    Or is it natural for those who don't care
    To hate the natural
    Pay homage to the plastic
    Invest in the chemical
    At nature's expense
    Or is it our lack of love
    In our life and the prosperity
    To hate ourselves our surroundings
    Our hate training at the hands
    Of leaders and siblings
    That we have transformed
    Our hate record to take for granted
    Nature's love of us
    And have mis-informed the universe
    Of our intentions
    To protect nature's ideals
    Even as we make a mass appeal
    But fortunately, some of us, our love
    Has risen above like a phoenix
    And are showing the reciprocal
    Of nature's love
    In all we do, and eat
    And how we be so we can meet
    And be understood that love
    Everywhere occurring naturally
    On the ground, in the water
    Like the stars in the heavens
    And as we love, nature will return
    That love with a bountiful of love in turn.


       In The Flower


    How does the lotus flower,
    Explain the sun
    How does the sun explain,
    The morn when it has come
    And the day is done
    As night has begun
    Does the moon take up the late shift?
    Is the moon a sacred gift?
    Or is life just meant to coincide
    As the sky acts as a guide
    To show us the way that is best
    Between east and west
    Does rain escape to fill our cup
    Or does it come to
    Erase the dust
    Roses smile in envy
    As gorgeous girls walk by
    Tipping their hats
    As the flowers multiply
    To cover everything
    Including open pig stys
    As contention begins
    With fish on parade
    Beautiful babies being made
    The smell of incense
    From the temple as the sunshine fades
    The morning glory closes its eyes
    And wears the mask of night
    As it tries to hide
    Crickets come out to play
    Frogs on a paddy dance the night away
    We realize if only for a day
    That all is well with the world
    And everyone has been paid!


       Psychology of a Rose


    Psychology of a Rose
    What is it supposed to be?
    Red, white, yellow, pink and purple
    Colors of a rainbow
    Given to women to represent
    What is beauty?
    What is gorgeous?
    Why so beautiful
    The women or the rose
    They grow up
    Budding at first
    Ready to become so beautiful
    When they are full-grown
    From a baby
    Watered and fed
    That is how they are bred
    Sunshine everyday
    They blossom with each and every ray
    On their face
    We look, see and are pleased
    Only to be surprised everyday
    As they become more beautiful
    In a day, tomorrow
    I will see them and will be psyched
    Their beauty is totally complete
    The women, and the rose.
