Premium Member Craving Misbehaving


To the extreme 
My heartbeat pounds
A time to be redeemed
Circle comes around

Funky fresh feeling
A little bit of jive
I'm dealing with the dealer
Pure honey from the hive

Needing you
You want me too
My heartbeat true

Lieing gets you what you need
The truth they say will set you free
Either way
You took all the honesty
And gave a gift of agony

Nevertheless
Can we survive the test
Neverthemore
Don't walk out
That door

Craving misbehaving
My heart falls to the floor

Premium Member A Soldier A Song

I could stop for a minute
And then be on my way
I'm a drifter  through days of blue
Getting older...getting on my way

I could sing you my songs
And maybe you'd stay
A little love a little laughter
A little time for me to say

Oh the windmill keeps turning 
And time is slipping away
I'm growing older...still
Hoping for tomorrow
And all my songs
Seem to be fading to grey

Where have you gone 
A soldiers misfortune
Feeling like I'm tortured
Waiting for a moment
When you come back
To stay

Oh the windmill keeps turning 
And time is slipping away
I'm growing older...still
Hoping for tomorrow
And all my songs
Seem to be fading to grey

Today Im Hoping for tomorrow..
Tomorrow I'm hoping for the day
When the sun will rise once again
Praying for the day

Glen Hughs - Deep Purple
My Take On The Song "Soldierof Fortune

Premium Member Burn

I listened to Glenn Hughs sing a song
Released by Purple, Deep.
It was not the kind of song that would
Lull anyone to sleep.

It had a nice riff of the guitar.
You can take that to the bank -
About a lady who, for refreshment,
Our misery, she drank. 

Next time I'm in a situation where
A woman like that I yearn,
I'd look the other way, but it's too late.
She lit me, and I can only burn.


Words

Words are like a work of art
The visions they create
They can show us beauty
Or show us how to hate

Words can tell a story
Of romance and of love
Or nursery rhymes for children
Or tell of God above

Words  can be persuasive
And create a law
Words can tell the news and weather
And tell what people saw

Words have even caused great Wars
Where many men have died
Sending home what's left of 
The ones who did survive

Shakespeare used them beautifully
As did Frost and Poe and Keats
Langston Hughs,  Maya Angelou
Emily Dickenson and Yeats

So choose words very carefully
Be aware of what you say
Cause words can really hurt someone
And they can't be cast away.

Premium Member Howard Hughs - Odd Fact 011

In nineteen hundred thirty eight
Howard found a new record to break.
Around the world the fastest ever;
Three hundred fifty two miles per hour.
He filled the plane with ping pong balls.
In case of a crash to cushion the fall.
He also had the bright notion.
They would keep him afloat should he fall to the ocean.
