Thump Drag Poet Ballad

I'M Gonna Always Love You

I’m gonna always love you
I’m gonna always be your friend
I’m gonna think ‘bout the times we kissed
In the pond or the tree or the willow mist
I’m gonna always love you…

You’re gonna always haunt me
You’re gonna always haunt my heart
When we slept on the sand, when we tied our hands
When we saw only five minutes of that band
You’re gonna always haunt me…

I wanna always kiss you
I wanna always kiss your lips
Wanna kiss your lips and cry on your hips
And eat all your words with their bones and their pips
I wanna always kiss you…

I wanna always heal you
I wanna always care for you
Wanna kiss all the hurt out of your toe’s stubs
Make hot tea for you in the Holly shrubs
I wanna always pray for you…

I’m gonna always love you
I’m gonna always be your friend
Gonna think ‘bout the time we made love in the morn’
In the crows nest list’ning to sun be born
I’m gonna always love you…

You’re gonna always haunt me
You’re gonna always haunt my heart
When we screamed and swore and fell on the floor
And played those games where we’d talk no more
They’re gonna always haunt me…

I wanna always kiss you
I wanna always kiss your head
Wanna kiss your head ‘til it turns all red
Kiss away all the thoughts about the words I said,
I wanna always kiss you…

I wanna always heal you
I wanna always care for you
Wanna give you cakes for your belly aches
And give you cocoa from the little boy by the lake
I wanna always heal you…

I’m gonna always love you
I’m gonna always be your friend
I’m gonna think ‘bout the times we kissed
In the pond or the tree or the willow mist
I’m gonna always love you…

(Repeat)

Vladislav Raven January 28, 2016 at 5:38 PM Hi T.D. this one sings into the mind, a vision painted in such a Soulful way. Excellent Thump. Get some guitars in there, give it some Soul and one fine song. A definite seven....Vladislav.

Ijm Seven January 12, 2016 at 3:02 PM what a penetrating poem, right down to my bones. I enjoyed the juxtaposition in the sixth stanza. Accurate and hurtful as I read it again. Thump Drag January 13, 2016 at 2:01 AM I'm so glad this struck a chord for you, Ijm. Keep reading, more poetry to come :)

Diane Bohner January 12, 2016 at 7:45 AM The words bring life to the word love and describing love is most difficult, yet you have managed quite nicely to do this. You should be proud of your work! Keep it up and I look forward to reading more of your poetry. Best of luck! xxoo

David William Breidenthal January 12, 2016 at 4:38 AM Very wonderfully written! Thanks for sharing :):) Thump Drag January 13, 2016 at 1:59 AM Thank you thank you! :)

Justin Bordner January 11, 2016 at 6:56 PM This commitment can only breathe from a heart that is happy in love and also haunted. This poem evokes so much passion and yearning in me..."Wanna kiss your lips and cry on your hips...In the crow's nest listening to the sun be born..." I'm just enamoured by this spectrum, and great song of love. I must FAV it!!! Thump Drag January 11, 2016 at 10:01 PM Thank you so much, JB for your thoughtful response!! So glad you liked it, keep reading! :)

Anne-Lise Andresen January 11, 2016 at 1:59 PM - Really sweet and lovely poem,Thump Drag - Romance .... almost like a song :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Thump Drag January 11, 2016 at 10:04 PM Thank you, A.L.A.! I had the idea of this being a blues song that you'd sing with a nice little acoustic guitar diddy in the background, I'm glad you had the same kind of idea!
