Boom Like a Tenor

Let me keep day dreaming for I do my best thinking when I'm not blinking Like a child's toy my thoughts are spinning I float amongst the Stars Big Dipper drinking even when it feels like I'm sinking Other worlds are my dominion I'm not tethered to ego or opinion I let a single star lead me to a billion Some might think I'm nuts Perhaps I'm Brazilian I think about never Until it bleeds into forever Small things are my biggest treasure I know and feel Gods pleasure Traveling distances too far to measure Although I work hard I'm a man of leisure I can be and talk to anyone today tomorrow or whenever be rich poor or a pensioner I can sing like an angel Or boom like a Tenor That's right there's benefits to being a pretender top of the heap bottom ender I'll receive the signals You be the sender in fantasy lands I'm a dweller Watch as my pupils increase in size You see I carry my thoughts in my eyes absorbing silly until I locate the wise I detect the truth in people's lies Within the shouts I hear whispers I recognize when someone tries Who cares if they're not one of the girls or guys Traveling alone won't prevent them from reaching new highs Happily ever afters don't end with goodbyes Forget fretting the music never stops no one truly ever dies Watch how a bird flys On an unseen current each spirit will rise no logic applies Be the me in "Me oh my" not afraid to ask why hear the music in a sigh Join me in a day dream There's room in my sky Stretch your arms into wings after all you too were made to fly

Hi Richard, once again you just ket your thoughts flow, the words just sing out onto the page. This is such a wonderful, fun write. Boom like a Tenor, especially in the shower. This flows like a song my friend. If my daydreams were like this I would be a happy man. Once more your golden pen does flow onto the page and you create a wonderful piece of poetry. Have a wonderful Friday. Your friend always....Mike.

Hi Richard: Great poem! Reminds me of The Flying Dutchman by E.A. Arlington. It really flows with rhyming.

I love the almost monorhyme in every stanza, that is difficult to maintain. I like this part most of all: "You see I carry my thoughts in my eyes // absorbing silly until I locate the wise // I detect the truth within the lies // Within your shouts I hear whispers". This is a beautiful poem. There is room in my sky too :)

This poem is diamond cut to perfection, Richard. I could put these words to vinyl and listen to them. A cool, hip and honest-to-feel good platinum piece of poetry. Instant fave. Love and peace always.
