My Night

with the moon n stars
I play along all through night
flying in the sky
all in my dreams they come true
silver clouds, hanging moon,stars.

Lie Easy

If you have to, lie big and lie often,
Power comes from lying good...
The world will play along.

Role Play

What is love anymore?
An image?
A casting role for Romeo
And Juliet to play along- Almost dying for fantasy 

Young love never lasts in the end anyway
It dies just like pig flies!

My Canon

Blades
Of green
Support me
Upon the grass
While rain slides down
Creating on hair strands,
A violin serenade,
Its playing Pachelbel's "Canon"
Oh, a wonderful angelic feel
Raindrops bounce off lashes to play along.

Premium Member Dancing Waves

 Seagulls play along the shore
 Swooping in and out of the tide
 Golden sun shimmers on waves as they dance some more
 Now and then seagulls take a ride
 Whispers of sunset amid the roar
 Soon, golden hues will be spied

Premium Member And her music plays on


gone astray in a world of her own
she earnestly embraces her whims
dancing to a wistful melody
that truthfully only she can hear
and the abiding stars play along
spinning round in graceful harmony

Play Along

Listen to the songs of the dark,
just don't dance with the devil. 
Heal your broken, your cracks,
avoid being chained.
I've slowed the speed of laughter,
noticed devilish grin,
craving teeth of a python,
friendly eyes of a deceiver.

Premium Member Playing Along

Let’s pretend it is Christmas he said.
By December he will be dead.
I readily agree

It’s nothing to worry about
I play along without a shout
I readily agree

For three long months we play this song
He pretends that nothing is wrong
I readily agree

Rhyme R Rhythm

I often think of a poem as a song
With imaginary notes to play along
Yet, still the same I must be game
Or else the verse will end up lame

I've got to keep the meter proper
So there isn't any interest dropper
One, two, three, so now do you see
How it takes good rhythm to satisfy me?

Stuck

These days my mind confuses me
I imagine everyone has it differently
But to be stuck inside my own head
Is like playing with a mouse that is dead
You can contort it in any possible way
You can give it all of your energy
And it will always dangle, but play along
Though clearly it is far and gone

Premium Member Zen mode

animals in human form provoke us
this is of course magic conjured by God
but we dwell in the void, thoughts don’t nonplus
our heart that was once ice-like has since thawed
we flow in this dream giving love our nod 
nonchalant to outcomes, we sing our song
viewing life as a dream, we play along

Demons Whisper

Demons beyond the veil, whisper to her,

Bringing forth dark memories,

About the pain in the room.


The tears she cried in the cornfield ignored.

Her adult life in bondage,

to a childhood of fear.


That moment in time controls who she is.

While the demons pull the strings,

And make her play along.

The Masquerade

How peculiar it is
To live life behind a mask
Everyday we do our bits
to play along the cast

We’re led along by our heartstrings
Shallow and fickle all
Why are we obsessed with ‘things’?
Never in it for the long haul..

Life has become material and cheap
Yet we all still cosplay
Find something real and deep
These masks we’ll castaway..

Angel In Disguise

A soliloquy, a song
Loves melody floats on high
In each note I feel your heart
Feel the angels play along
Angel’s brush gives me a start
Captured by in a sigh

It is true the angles guide
Helping hands we cannot see
Help to find the love we need
Sweet refrain it will provide
Love’s sweet harmony for me
It’s your heart I need

Far Off

Hey self!
What’s up with you today?
Did they talk to you?
No? Not again?



Hey self!
What’s up with you today?
Did they sing with you?
No? Not again?



Hey self!
What’s up with you today?
Did they play along?
No? Not again?



Hey self!
What’s wrong with you these days?
Have you gone far off again?
Oh no! Not again…

Riddle Me a Riddle

ottava rima

A rambling riddle; hope you'll play along...
Fingers when I have played too much cello. 
Head, neck and shoulders baked in sun too long; 
Zingers by Hostess and cherry jello. 
Used with blue and white, patriotic song; 
singers’ roses but not Texas yellow. 
Hot pink is like my second fiddle;
strawberries are a key to this riddle.

Song

Hearing the song
Not having to play along
Listening with my body
Breathing with my mind
Expanding thoughts into time
I am here to learn
To lessen my need to yearn
Invited is my anger
You know it isn’t a stranger
I want control of it
To feel it every bit
Can it sit with me?
Can I still be free?
Yes this is what
I want to learn
I believe it
Is my turn

Rumors

You say whatever you can think of,
And you make up all these lies.
You’re spreading tons of rumors,
Only trying to ruin lives.

Is it to make you feel better?
While you make all of us feel worse.
Is it to boost your confidence?
Sorry, hun, it doesn’t work. 

We know your little games.
We’ve tried to play along.
Now all that we want
Is for you to be long gone.

The soothing classical music

Hear the sound of my cry echoes 
As the cry of sweet melody flows 
A melody of sweet remorse 
Feel it in your veins to endorse 
Touch my heart Feel it gold
A warm note is enough to warm the cold
Snatch my breath away reaper of songs
A tune to one belongs
Play along Erik satie 
I feel your melody with clarity
Gnossienne no 1 strikes a piano good 
Don't stop ,it's one for the mood

You Make Me Proud

I sit here listening to my son play the guitar,
It sounds so good ,so good so far,
He starts to play along them strings,
And then you hear him start to sing,
Keep that rythme and keep it strong,
Remember the words of this song,
He trys  to get it and get it right,
Hes always playing night after night,
I hope he can make it to the top,
Either way he makes me feel proud of what i got,

Untitled

Without 
Withheld 
Unknown 
But you are still asking yourself 
Is it meant for me
Or am I just 
A circumstance 
Of fate 
At the right place at the wrong time
Innocent 
Or placed and I simply can't remember 
Play along or rebel 
Only time will tell 
Should I press the bell
Or run like hell
A or B
To be or not to be
He who dares see
Chicken 
Goodbye 
Hello
Into the worm hole
Go

Dance With Me

Dance with me,
 it may seem silly,
  don't you hear the music?

There it goes again
 playing softly in my head.
  Surely it's a dance-able song.

Am I wrong?
 Can't you play along
  just pretend you hear the melody.

It's wonderful and loud and soft
 two step, waltz, tango and mashed potatoes.
  You don't remember, do you?

Put some music on,
 for real this time,
  so I could dance with you again.

I Played the Game

I try to play along
But theres something 
About you that makes me
Week in the knees
I cant even speak about your
Physique thats so unique
And when you use your techniques
On me makes me want to scream
Aim in dream defending and braking 
All the rules like fools
Deprived of love gone wrong
Our love grew strong and 
We knew we belong no sense
Of right and wrong i played now
Were life long lovers and friends

Premium Member Band Practice

In bed lovesick, waiting for the rain;
Coffee in the air instruments being tuned,
faintly I hear them ready to try again;

Wearing a sleepy smile I swooned;
Nothing like waking up to a song
as I lay in this blanket cocooned;

In this moment is where I belong
imprinting  every drop of this;
Don't know I'm listening, I'll play along;

Just stay quiet and I get to witness 
the magic  of a morning band practice.
