Emptiness

Emptiness

(Childrens song / lyrics and music by Joan Donnelly Ellis )

When a thing is empty it is not much good at all
 .
 What good is a baseball diamond with neither bat nor ball?
 What worth a hat without a head? A house without some folk?
 How foolish a shell with no egg white or yellow yolk?
 Can you find any use for a well without water,
 Or a quill that has no ink ...Well
 What good is a hockey arena with no skating rink.
 Can you explain the purpose of a book void of pictures and word?
 How unfun a bell without a ringer? Seems to me absurd.
 How dull Summer without rainfall and sunshine, Winter without snow?
 Would a tree be lonely with neither squirrels nor birds that caw like the crow?
 Fancy a yard without soft green grass to delight the barefeet
 A pie shell without pie filling could hardly be called a treat.
 What would you think if the sky held no sun,no moon, no color, no rain, no star?
 Now I do not want to upset you but what if narry a crumb could be found in Nana's cookie jar?
 How could you dance if there was no music in the radio or jukebox
 The only empty thing that's worth anything and loads of fun, I daresay is an empty box.

Missing Love, Missing Her, Missing

Missing love, missing her, missing…



Leaves are falling all around
Time I was on my way

The seasons change and so do I
My smile lingering of moments spent
while colors dance in abstract fauna
clashing with drab thoughts

Thanks to you, I'm much obliged
Such a pleasant stay

If anything, you made it special
Greetings of morning drifting
on a sunrise of lavender whispers
singing sweetly on the breeze

But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way

As nighttime glows I must ramble
where destinies play and winter
is merely a state of mind
chilling dreams along the path

But now I smell the rain and with a pain
And it's headed my way

It follows me wherever I go,
regrets fall in torrents creating
puddles on the edge of my fate,
missing love, missing her, missing…

Good night Soupers

Written with the help of the lyrics of the song “Ramble On” by Led Zeppelin

Premium Member Walking With You Tonight

Walking With You Tonight
(poem /song)

In my dreams tonight oh, baby
I am walking with you on the clouds
Holding me tight in your arms
And I wish I will never wake up
With your warm and loving touch

We're dancing together in the starlight
As we walk together in my dreams tonight

I feel your love entirely on my being
Your tenderness and sweet caress
Getting me out from the darkness
With all the loneliness I feel
You wipe them all, my tears and fears

I am walking with you tonight
In my dreams I feel alright
You’re releasing all my pains
Allowing me to see a new sunlight
As I walk lovingly with you tonight

You’re giving me enough courage to go on
In all my hopes and dreams
I’m dancing with you baby in the starlight
As I walk with you tonight

We’re dancing together in the starlight
As we walk together in my dreams tonight.

 This song was composed but not entered in any contest before. I just wrote it for me & my loving granddad (musician) to put melody when we've time to be together. However, I decided to enter it now for Song Lyric Contest of my dear poet friend, Anne Currin.

Premium Member Triggered

Finally relaxing
on my high-rise roof
I notice you across the street on
your balcony seemingly aloof
listening to vintage Carly Simon, 
     "That’s the Way I’ve Always Heard it Should Be"

You stare my way and energetically waive

I hesitate, smile and then return the gesture

As if on cue you stand and press against the railing

Still smiling as my heart beats faster

"What's your name?" you playfully cry out 

"Who wants to know?" is my surprising reply
     Who really am I?

Sudden flashbacks hijack my thinking
     Song lyrics dredging up buried memories…

Why is this happening? Why am I sinking?
     Triggered

I hear your beseeching, unintelligible shouts as I retreat
Painful memories open like an oubliette under my feet—

Premium Member Advice For Young Women

(song lyrics)
My daddy he once told me
"Hey, don't you love you any man"
"Just take what they may give you"
"And give but what you can" – from Gale Garnett’s “We’ll Sing in the Sunshine”

For all you young women who search for a mate -
don’t give up your freedom so soon!
If there is someone you just want to date,
hold off on that honeymoon!

Meet lots of people; take time to play.
What’s the hurry for people to marry?
Sing in the sunshine; laugh every day.
What’s wrong with “temporary?”

I see it so often; folks rush to the altar.
There’s plenty of fish in the sea.
Most of the time, the passion will falter.
Take a good year, then set yourself free. 

Unless you want heartache or some weird hassle,
just take my advice if you can.
Women, you’re able to make your own castle
and live in it like you’re the man!

Premium Member Chippewa Falls

Got her name off a cracker box.
Sweet young thing.
You know she really rocks.

She climbs on top.
Keeps me warm at night.

You know that girl.
She's really out of sight..

In Chippewa Falls..

That's right! 

Chippewa Falls.

Wisconsin..

Found her name in the news tonight.
Front page story.
About a girl I knew.

Wound up drinking till the morning light.
Loads of fun.
With a girl named Sue..

In Chippewa Falls.
That's right! 
Chippewa Falls.
Wisconsin..

Sent her home on a train today.
Her smiling face.
Couldn't pay the way..

Bleach blond hair.
Shining bright today.

That's all she needed..
To pave the way...

In Chippewa Falls.
That's right! 
Chippewa Falls.
Wisconsin..
That's right! 
Chippewa Falls..

Premium Member Stellar Lyric


Floating in the amorous stellar sky
in mystique bejeweled night 
you come enticed
to 'burn me with your love poison' 
in my embellished dream where  
I make a blazing bracelet of stars for you.

Our paired essence interweaves 
with the calypso of night,  
when the seductive song lyrics  
of spangled longing the stars write.
The melodic stardust shimmers 
with the cadence of my attuned heart,
composes a new music for my life 
with the intonation of ecstasy.

The stellar meadow of the magical night  
sparkles with crystal charisma of blooming stars, 
designs harmonic dreams for my love to sing 
to the symphony of silver stardust 
in the garden of night.

In the vivacious vale contoured by your charm,
I get lost 'in the mists of your eyes,'
the fervent stardust of my craving 
surges in a tender torrent,
making my love for you 
a cascading stellar stream where I swim. 

Pulled by your alluring magnetism, 
my possessed passion sails 
to the starlit bay of bliss,	
where your love weaves 
the constellation lattice in my sky. 
With its sequins I compose 
a luring lyric for you I will recite
when 'I will find you beyond the stars.'

Premium Member Shizumanu Taiyo

Song Lyrics I wrote to a melody played by vionlinist Diana Yakawa who's Father was among the 520 who died when Japanese Airlines flight 123 crashed into a mountainside on August 12, 1985. She was born 5 weeks later on Sep. 16th. Shiaumanu Taiyo translates to "The Never Setting Sun". her performance is on YouTube. (Diana Yukawa/Shizumanu Taiyo) It's haunting.

Your blood runs through me, it runs like rivers
that feed the mountains where last you lay.
You never held me, but I have held you,
in every sweet dream, you run to me.

Into the twilight, off to horizons,
where tearful memories, are yet to fade -
but now the promises of never setting suns
will always beckon me, and light my way
and always light my way...

37 second interlude

Your blood runs through me, it runs like rivers
that feed the mountains where last you lay.
You never held me, but I have held you,
in every sweet dream, you run to me...

Premium Member Your Love: At Last

 With apologies to the artist, a reflection of 'At Last' by Etta James

Your love
found my heart in the dark
No longer am I lonely
A flame grew from a spark 
Yes it did

My heart
has a love of its own
Something it's long been missing
A love it's never known

My dream fulfilled, now that it's come true
Each time I feel your tender touch
I wear a smile all because of you
I love you oh so much 
Yes I do

We kissed   we kissed

and my heart now sings a song
Within your arms forever
the place where I belong 
_______________________________

At last 
my love has come along
My lonely days are over 
and life is like a song, 
oh yea, yeah

At last
the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up clover 
the night I looked at you

I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill I've never known, 
oh yeah

You smiled, you smiled

oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last
