Premium Member Words of love

My entry in a poem challenge:
“Write a poem based on three words from a song.”
I chose: 'Words of love' by the Beatles 1964”

words of love

I’m the harshest critic,
the truest of nonbelievers,
when words of love are used.
Soapy words will not deliver
so please stop trying to be smooth.

Don’t compare me to a summer’s day!
I know that’s from some Broadway play.

Waste not flattery’s rose
praise not my grace,
at least not to my face,
you’re better off praising my clothes.

Forgo sweetness, promise nothing
then you may be onto something
say it, straight up, I won’t faint
trust me, sir, I am no saint.

I Stop At Nothing

With so many choices and demands,
it's hard living with only one preference
when the force of giving
is stronger than my unexplored desires;
I live freely and stop at nothing...
as long as my night sparkles with stars!

The real side of me
 is the resemblance of reality;
my words reflect my true feelings,
and this smile won't deny you anything...
with thoughts never kept to myself,
or being afraid to say a sweet something!

With each word clearly spoken out,
there's no mistake in hearing my honesty,
and all you have to do...is listen carefully;
my time will be spent purposefully
with the one I'll pick out of the anxious crowd:
to shout her beautiful name so aloud! 

If words of a romantic song aren't  meaningful    
and the music has no harmony,
there will be no room for chemistry;
and the longer it plays the more it sounds awkward,
to make me realize I've lost another chance
at having you all mine...when I still dare to dance
and stop at nothing until all the words are said
and all the smiles fade out leaving me cold!

Premium Member The Master of the Rhyme

The Master Of The Rhyme
This was inspired by comments 
made to me , by Great Poets
Peter Duggan and Olive Guillermo
And sung to the tune 
Phantom Of The Opera's 
"Music of The Night"   by Andrew LLoyd Webber 


Words that rhyme well--- serve to show my passion
Searching for the--- style that suits my fashion
Everything I see--- Is a poem meant for me
And I write it though it seems to be sublime 
I truly am the master of the rhyme

While I’m sleeping--- in my mind come creeping
Filled with laughter--- mystery and weeping
Like an artist with his brush---I am filled with such a rush
And it paints a picture deep inside my mind
I wonder if I’m Master of the rhyme

Do you know who’s the Master of all known words
Do you know when he comes or where he goes
As He writes with my hands and through my soul
Whether it be a rhyme or it be prose 

Written words--- start forming innuendoes  
Join and bond--- then rise like a crescendo 
When I awake I find--- this happens every time
I am just the name that must be signed
For I am not the Master of the rhyme

As I sit here staring at the empty page
He whispers in my ear again
I don’t know where the poem’s going to go 
But, when I start the words begin to flow

Is It God, and is He on the level
Cursing me, as If I were the devil
Cause once I start to rhyme---the words begin to chime
Like a bell--- keeps ringing in my mine
He truly is the Master of the Rhyme

He alone holds the blessing---I make mine
For I am just a servant of the Rhyme

Premium Member The Truth Will Set Me Free

A scarlet daydreamer marbled in blue velvet
marooned in confidence mired in yucky mucky chucks
Twas a heist at gunpoint to honor those petted   
I have brained the threshold and my mind turned to suds
On the premature notion that I have accepted
I have slipped and slid on a bed of clipped rosebuds
I have cast mirrors to purpose hexed

My expectations demanded the least contention
I cannot fathom the necessity for compassion
The visual aspects do not summon a cry for vexation
The certainties will formulate its need for satisfaction

I require life touches to ensure my future
I ought to lift higher and higher like a soul sensation 
I must smooch with our solar star curvature
The certainties will formulate its need for satisfaction
Need for satisfaction

Ride captain ride onboard my mystery ship
Chart by stars sways the course
Yet a fragile world spurns to its lip
Of its inner voices of remorse
I am no redeemer but an apple chip

I need to be merely left as none to procrastination
unburied and left to stare at the granite tombstone
The certainties will formulate its need for satisfaction

I found my want to be left as an abandon
I do not need benevolent funds from association
And I deplore closeted affection
The certainties will formulate its need for satisfaction
I am lacking for a good connection
I need Dai-lee llamas that traverse the Andes ascension
The certainties will formulate its need for satisfaction.

Music Man, Music Man

Music man, Music man 
Your loving guitar in hand 
Your music was my downfall 
Taking my heart, taking my all 

I fell in love with your words, 
Grew addicted to your rhythm. 
The sorrow in your burning chords, 
Drew me in with them. 

I felt your music flow through me 
Getting lost, carried away 
In your songs, in your dreams 
As I listened to you play 

Music man, Music man 
Your loving guitar in hand 
Your music was my downfall 
Taking my heart, taking my all 

Music man, Music man 
Your loving guitar in hand 
Your music was my downfall
Taking my heart, taking my all

“Through this world I’ve stumbled
So many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word
To find the truth enslaved
Oh you speak to me in riddles and
You speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath
You words keep me alive”
	
I know these feeling, I’ve lived them well
In a world WHERE I could never tell,
I was once captured, they held me down
For many years I thought I’d never be found
Betrayal birthed roots that PRODUCED bad fruit
Denial hid behind smiles that bread life trials
But a burning hope, and flickering light
Lived inside, I just needed it to ignite
Perfect love, the only cure
To give me new wings and make me sore
I now can be still in words that are true
Unraveled deception, a restful view
Your words are serene, killing off the machine
I am embracing a life that I’ve never seen.

Premium Member A Rock That No One Can Shatter

We think we have our safety net
filling our lives full of every little thing
favourites we protect ourselves around
'I am a rock' is what we like to sing

Being a reader I love my books
my poetry is to me a real anchor
to me, it's what keeps me together
not like the Titanic, ice rock sank her!

In my solitude of my quiet room
this is my rock, my safety net
there in my loneliness, I do like
me and my thoughts there to collect

As like an island there I stand
separated by liquid all around
standing tall above everything else
listening to birds lyrical sound

A rock that no one can shatter
now that's something to have near
think deep down is that really true?
that rock maybe has a fear!

( This is based on Simon & Garfunkel's ' I am a Rock'

'I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armour
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock.
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.)

Premium Member This Morning I Heard God Speak Through the Word Dedicated To God Is Speaking Ministries Janeen Brown

THIS MORNING I HEARD GOD SPEAK THROUGH THE WORD 

I just can believe yet I believe as I so received
My Father
My Dad
My God
Spoke to me

THIS MORNING I HEARD GOD SPEAK THROUGH THE WORD

I had a yesterday session
This something
I read my word

His word
The Bible
And the answer was forth lit up was right straight in
Front of me

All my doubts
My wondering abouts
The letters those words lit up my soul
As all mine answers were flush out

THIS MORNING I HEARD GOD SPEAK THROUGH THE WORD

I gave a verbal joust
My witness was brought forth
Mine blessing unfold
This day I read The Word
I heard God speak
I listened
I heard
As the bible lead me to Jesus

THIS MORNING I HEARD GOD SPEAK THROUGH THE WORD
Reading the bible, the word of God which leads us
To Jesus 
Speak Lord Speak, Hallelujah

Looking For My Elton John

I know I'm no Bernie Taupin
so, DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART
I know my lyrics are simple
every poet needs a place to start

I may not be Bernie Taupin
I didn't write CROCODILE ROCK
but, I know that I too can write the words
I just need my Elton John

I may not be Bernie Taupin
he wrote GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
my mind works in easier concepts
no "hunting the horny back toad".

I may not be Bernie Taupin
creator of BENNIE AND THE JETS
but I can write a love song 
of a life lived with no regrets

I may not be Bernie Taupin
his hits are way more than a few
I may not have an answer to his TINY DANCER
but I've danced a mad tango or two

I may not be Bernie Taupin,
I didn't write  YOUR SONG
It turned out to be, a song for everybody
and not just for   THE ONE

I may not be Bernie Taupin,
who wrote CANDLE IN THE WIND,
he struck gold the second time for Diana
the first time was for Marilyn

I may not be Bernie Taupin
by now that's not really news,
but I too can write a sad, sad song
so, I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT THE BLUES

I may not be Bernie Taupin
and the ROCKET MAN is out of touch
but my sad songs also have merit
because SAD SONGS SAY SO MUCH

I may not be Bernie Taupin,
but, I'M STILL STANDING here with NIKITA
Bernie can make a hit out of anything
even going with DANIEL, to eat pizza

I may not be Bernie Taupin
but I write footloose and fancy free
maybe it's not like PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM
but hey! DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME

Bernie and Elton would both say
that it's been no SACRIFICE
and, SOMEONE SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT
were lyrics that just felt right

It's been an amazing partnership
almost 50 years and still going strong
Bernie Taupin writes awesome lyrics
but the music is all Elton John.

So, I may not be Bernie Taupin
but I can write lyrics to a song, but
a song needs music and a melody
guess, I'll keep waiting for my Elton John.

Blue Petal

Seldom does the morning wake me now
Too long has there been a dream of green
Foggy with the mist of the sea bay
Filled with those small white boats
slowly bobbing about here and there
Tethered to the waters and our desires

The sun through the glass panes comes
Amorphous as thoughts touching everywhere
Castings shadows defining the darkness
Spreading the light vigorously as a summer storm
Where just outside the bedroom window sill
Hangs an aging flower box peeling off its blue paint

It has no flowers or dirt, the bottom is long gone
A reminder to another time, another grace
A traveler from the past in torn britches
And broken straw hats popping their lids
You can watch the blue paint chips drop down
To a weedy grass like petals of forget me nots
Today was another day of green dreams.
