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)

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.

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.

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

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!!!

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!
