Best Bon Jovi Poems
Broken tears - unforgettable love
I can still remember the way they looked
They radiated with elegance and grace
A unbroken chain with roots on the ground
I wish I could rewind time
give love a second chance
As long as the stars shine
- soft as a cradled baby
"I will always love you"
East meets west and love is put to the test
Amor arrows made of stainless steel
Should love's stand or fall
We know that heart and pain
are inextricably linked
Faith, hope and love
Only God has the right to judge
As long as the stars shine
- soft as a cradled baby
"I will always love you"
Sweet scent breathed from the parting lips
Like fragile wings of a hummingbird
Passion, words alone cannot express
Everything was perfect
nothing at all was wrong
''This Romeo is bleeding,
but you don't see his blood"

This Romeo is bleeding,
but you don't see his blood - Bon Jovi - Always
2nd place in the contest
On the inside, I’m imploding at a slow and painful rate. If only people could understand my pain, understand my thoughts, understand why I am the way I am. Maybe no one will ever understand. Maybe no one will ever care to try. I try to stay true to God, I do the best I can. I feel terrible because I’m probably not true enough for God’s expectations. I wish I could get a reset on life, every mistake I made rewind so I can fix it. Every trauma I experienced rewind so I can attempt to stop it. Like Bon Jovi, I wish I had the power to turn back time.
Homage to Bon Jovi
I’m going out in a “Blaze of Glory”
So “Bang A Drum” as I tell my story
With “One Light Burning” “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”
“Chained” to the “Right Side of Wrong” in my head.
“Shot Through The Heart”, “You Really Got Me Now”...
Your “Bad Medicine” destroyed me—somehow.
“Dead Or Alive” don’t “Lay Your Hands On Me”!
“The Boys Are Back In Town”--I’m not lonely!
“Dying Ain’t Much of A Living”…you’re right
Too late found “Good Guys Don’t Always Wear White”!
So, “Billy Get Your Guns” and “Raise Your Hands”…
There’s “Justice In The Barrel” of time’s sands.
“I’ll Be There For You” and your “Cold Hard Heart”.
“You Give Love A Bad Name”--Feel "Lucky"? Start!

Titles in quotes are songs by Jon Bon Jovi
Carlo Santana's Black Magic Woman,
in the 60's and 70's gave magic to his
band..
Drugs were part of this movement it's
fair to say. Getting high for many,
while listening to their music, was the
common way
Peace signs, beads, bell bottoms,
psychedelic shirts, desert boots, and
long hair and marijuana, is what was
in style. Looking back and being part
of that history lifestyle, makes me smile.
Peace protesters against the draft,
and Vietnam war. Jimi Hendrix, Peter,
Paul and Mary, The Beatles, Bob Dillon
The Beach Boys,Led Zepplin, Rolling
Stones,Elvis,Simon and Garfunkel,
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Neil Young,
Leonard Skynyrd, Eric Clapton, Carly
Simon is all we heard.
They kept our soldiers in Viet Nam
mentally occupied. It helped them
overcome their stress, and brought
some pleasure to their lives.
Rock N Roll Music had an impact
everywhere.The melodies and lyrics
represented a culture reflecting people,
who really cared.
Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith,
Neil Diamond, Barbara Striesand,
Jim Croce made the scene. Years later
Disco and the Bee Gee's came dancing
in.
Disco died, it didn't last long, during
this time Rock N Roll kept rolling on.
Rush, The Eagles, The Police, Peter
Frampton, Boston, Reo Speedwagon,
Blue OysterCult, Fleetwood Mac, Bob
Seger, Steve Miller band, we listened
to. I can't forget Journey, Bruce
Springsteen, Foreigner or the Who.
Bon Jovi, Creed, Madonna, Red Chili
Peppers, Van Halen, Black Eye Peas,
Were hot then. Rock N Roll songs, will
keep on playing, and be appreciated
over and over again.
Time reflects the Lyrics in the songs,
of the good times and the wrongs.
Woodstock brought them all together,
a lasting bond to last forever.. .
Homeward Bound Simon and Garfunkel
was the favorite song with the soldiers. Also
John mentioned The Lion SleepsTonight by
the Tokens. Robert Lindley also mentioned
their groups that were left out. Please read his
comments below. I also thank Robert for his
valued input.
I just want to add that the 60's and
70's were my personal favorite years.
I say this because people really cared
about the war and each other. They
were right...

I know six languages,
The one I write in
The one I speak in,
My mother’s words,
My father's verse,
And those of my brothers.
My mother speaks quickly
In baking terms and 80’s slang
She speaks in sewing materials,
Starbucks orders,
And references to Bon Jovi.
My father speaks with nature,
I just happen to hear him.
He converses with trees,
And pebbles worn smooth by time.
His language is filled with bar chords,
Childhood lullabies,
And culinary jargon.
The words he shapes are crafted by knowledge that I won’t admit I see.
Two years younger than me is an entirely different language,
Though one I understand.
Covered feelings form a language
I used to know quite well
Spoken in anger
Or begrudging hope
He lives in a pixelated world
With his eyes glued to a screen
He speaks in accordance to what is thought,
Usually not his thoughts guiding his actions
Strict participant in social norm,
Too much is said about what he hasn’t done and not enough about what he has
The youngest speaks in an entirely
Too innocent language
One I have come to detest
For the unwelcome flashbacks it brings
I don’t speak his language
Doubt I ever will again.
His quick words are full of legos,
Cartoons,
And Kung Fu Panda.
His actions are a reminder of a song I have forgotten.
I speak in limericks,
Dramatic monologues,
And Iambic Pentameter.
My words are full of colors and grasped by few
For they float by much too quickly
Full of mentions of J. K. Rowling
And pop culture. My wonder is stuck
In the impossible,
For I have yet to believe it is so.
I speak in song lyrics and quotes.
My words are full of grudging resilience,
Quick wit,
And sarcasm.
It does not matter what language we speak,
Or what percent Irish we think we are,
We are alike on what matters,
Like our love for literature,
Our patriotism of Gryffindor,
And our intrest in politics.
The languages we speak tie us together,
They are what make us unique.
2060 to L.A.
But it is just 280 miles to Nashville, Tennessee
Where I can see the country stars of the Grand Ol' Opry
Like Faith, Alan, Tim and Toby
I have gone mostly country
But I don't wear those boots
I have gone mostly country
My blonde hair is showing its roots
Gone country...There I go
I never really liked Madonna
I tried to Vouge
But I hurt myself
Not much for punk
But I love the Ramones
My bedroom wall was covered
Mom never needed to wallpaper
Floor and ceiling with the faces
Of 80's rock and roll
Poison made me want to talk dirty
Winger, I was only seventeen, but didn't care
Skid Row said I was a youth gone wild
And Bon Jovi said I gave love a bad name
Don't get me wrong
I still melt
When Jon Bon Jovi flashes that smile
And sings me his song
But when Toby Keith asks me who's your daddy (OH baby!)
Make me think naughty thoughts
And makes me have a evil grin
Makes me want to lay my hands on him
Sorry, I guess I am torn
They both make my mouth drool
But I am no fool
I may love country
But my first love
Comes from New Jersey
plethoric is his mind
shifting thoughts
like shadows cast
in and out of clouded skies
he falls
with the shame shadiness
into the concealment of pain
arising momentarily
whenever someone nears
he only hears
words echoing
down lonely corridors
as they bounce back
from the thoughts of mind
yet he speaks back
in half witted thoughts
that make you look past
the emptiness in his eyes
he weeps
alone at night
his tears
refreshing the scent
of her perfume
on the pillow
he harbors
he feels
the pierce
of daggers
with each beat
of his heart
as he struggles
to breathe
beneath the weight
of the heavy burden
he carries

This Romeo is bleeding, but you don't see his blood - Bon Jovi - Always
One day I sat here dreaming
In my mind for what to draft
As she lay there in my studio
This artist began to craft
This is what I seen
As I pictured her this way
For conclusion of my efforts
They will get a chance to play
I started with her ankles
Using chocolate for the stems
Working to her heaven
Making a birds nest with her mane
Half way up her Torso
The chocolate touch with green
Continuance of the stems
Like I pictured in my dreams
Around her upper torso
To her shoulders and her breasts
Crafted with coloured icing
This put me to the test
Texture with awesome creases
Took shape from their stems
The picture that was forming
Would excite many men
Filling in the voids
With leaves and chocolate thorns
From my beautiful naked maiden
A garden of roses formed
In beautiful scarlet red
En captured with her curves
This 3D shaped body canvas
My love for her purely serves
So many hours of crafting
You should see my maiden now
Like a bed of roses
Listening to Bon Jovi now
Now my task is over
A picture for posterity
For it's time to do some gardening
My darling maiden and me

Rapturous Rose Realities’ Of Time
The heart follows magnetic murmurs of love’s crust
Where facilitative fantasy and raucous reality mingle
The gods of mayhem frantically frolic as desires lust
Thru echoes that etch illicit illusions as bodies kindle
Ebullient enticement upon elliptical ecstasy entraps
Sexual stimuli sustained within the gardens of Eden
Apples of seduction and knowledge the serpent wraps
The vaulted Venus view awakens the dormant demon
Prayers of passion prance through the infinite void
Pelvic vibrations penetrate parallel multi-dimensions
Monumental massive erections have been deployed
Dispensing in realities of time intoxicating intentions
Thus a Rose stands reflective amidst the eternal kiss
Where she awaits with thorns in the sanguine abyss.

Not Just Any Old Rose

And though it seems like a
long lost dream,
Know that we’ve got your back
This insanity won’t last forever
It’s bound to fade away fast
Doctors, nurses and
Childcare workers
Police and Firemen
Pilots, Preists and Rabbis
Teachers, Family and Friends
We all rely on you
When you do what you do
You do what you can
For the old and the young
The rich and the poor
We send all our love and little bit more
Here’s hoping this all will
ring true
For tomorrow and all the days yet to come
We all know what to do
Meets her friends by the liquor store
Bon jovi is playing across town
Just a few hours and she will be back
She thinks its nothing wrong
Gets a guy to buy beers for them
Cause they we all underage
They get in his car for a ride
While the opening act performs on stage
She ask for a cigarette
And gives he gives her alight
Drinking the beers and laughing
In the middle of the night
She thinks of her little brother
Maybe he’s fast asleep in a dream
She knows she lied to him but
Tomorrow she will take him for ice cream
You said that you were just going out
To get a pack of cigarette
But you never did come back
Sister did you forget
And I waited all night for you
Lay in bed with my telephone
Wondering were you are
But you never comeback home
Have you forgotten your little brother?
A million times I dial your number
Have you forgotten me, my sister?
Is that why you never want to answer
Mama cries all the time
She don’t know why you run away
If you can see how she’s hurting
I know you would come back home today
Its two weeks since you been gone
Mama’s putting up your pictures on every wall
Everyday praying for a miracle
Hoping that some one will call
And she talks to daddy today
First time since the divorce
And he will be here tomorrow morning
He said we will find you at all cost
Then he looks out the window
And sees the police cars arrive
And his mother holds her head and cries
For they have found her alive
She was found by passer by
Unconscious in the drain
She wakes after two weeks in the hospital
They never r found her friends again
Runaways are innocent minds
And for a moment lack of judgment
Some are lucky to make back home
And for some it can be very detriment
Riding to work in the car I saw this certain license plate
Naming a certain rock star in how all this played into fate
I wouldn't give such praise for it's God who gets the Glory
Leading me along in my days even in this tiny little story
Perhaps in a minute or so I changed to another station
With two familiar words I know with the Bon Jovi nation
"My Life" is what the words were and that was the end
To the Lord I defer listening to messages He does send
This plate I've never seen before followed by that phrase
How many know what I mean in each and all of our days
You just think a thought, how often the Lord will respond
All these things I was taught has created my greatest bond
So the plate was Jovi-4evr as I just past that car right by
Sure it was pretty clever but the premise of it was all a lie
The Lord making it clear to me in His consistent presence
To hear such as I see, as it is always His Love I can sense
This Romeo is bleeding, but you don't see his blood - Bon Jovi - Always
I pretend not to care that you're gone.
You don't see me bleed through my skin,
but my heart sure is bleeding, so please...
Come back to me!
Come back to me!
Would you care to know how much time
I spend pining for your return?
There aren't enough hours in the day!
Come back to me!
Come back to me!
Do you know how long
you swim in the sea of my mind?
My beloved, I miss you intolerably.
Come back to me!
Come back to me!
I would if I could genuflect;
before you with my hands folded
endlessly pleading, please...please...
Come back to me!
Come back to me!
Come back to me!
Your sudden goodbye left me blindsided
We planned to dream til infinity...
now I'm so lonesome I could cry.

*not a true write*
Springsteen has his Jersey girls,
But I don’t belong there.
When Bon Jovi takes the stage,
I would just feel wrong there.
Randy Newman’s songs are great
And I love Paul Simon.
Billy Joel does justice to
His lyrics’ perfect rhymin’.
Carole King can nail a tune
And I dig Tom Petty.
If James Taylor is performing,
Get me there – I’m ready.
Yet there’s someone who can cause
My blood to percolate
When she belts a melody –
I’m talkin’ Bonnie Raitt.
Sorta country, kinda rock;
Deep and rich and bluesy.
Every note and word she sings
Is sure to be a doozy.
When I catch her on CD,
The radio or stage,
She still sounds as good to me
As she did half her age.
Keep on groovin’, Bonnie Raitt
And let your music soar;
‘Cause when I hear your magic voice,
I want to hear some more.
For the "What Songwriter Inspires You? contest - Bonnie Raitt
In a regular year, there’d be galas and balls
And we’d watch little snips on the news,
But since things are on hold and all protocol falls,
One big party was set for our views.
On a virtual stage, with Tom Hanks the M.C.,
It was concert and feel-good event;
Meant to unify all, it was, we’d all agree,
A warm welcome to our president.
Jon Bon Jovi, John Legend, Foo Fighters and Bruce,
Tim McGraw, Katy Perry and more
Sang with passion and joy, quite enough to produce
All the hope we need Joe to restore.
Former presidents banded together and spoke.
There were excerpts from speeches and poems
And a focus on all of those everyday folk
Who allowed us to stay in our homes.
At the end there were fireworks lighting the sky
While the mask-wearing Bidens looked on,
So symbolic and moving no one could deny
Such relief the old tenants were gone.
