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…
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
The bold lines are the song lyrics
Oh, look! Open sky!
Cosmic Wave Sci-fi poem.
Moonbeams beat softly.
Oooooooo Oooooooo Oooooooo.

Oh, man, that's so good.

Whisper, pop, whoosh, rumble, reverberate.
Swooshing vibrations pulse heartbeats.
Resonates with nebula; feeling Quasar.
Singularity in the Zenith. Corona.
Heliosphere, Magnetar, Nebula, Capsule.
Telescope station, Mars, Saturn so far.
Orbiters above, space stations, oh, ah, oo.
So good to fly in the Saucer. Oo, la, la, oh!
Sailing in Twilight
Rising with Cosmos inside.
Parameters guise.
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.

Note:
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.
Thirteenth Place
Contest: Song Lyrics
Judged: 7/13/13
Sponsor: Poet Anne Currin
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—

Lost and languishing in isolation's labyrinth
(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!

For Edward Ibeh's Choose Your Own Title, Vol 7 - Songs - Any Form Poetry Contest
Song title chosen: Inspired by Gale Garnett’s “We’ll Sing in the Sunshine” (not necessarily my real opinion… or is it?)
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..
Song-Lyrics By Kim Robin Edwards

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.'
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...
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
