Oh please sing, my sad song boy
Make me cry for roses fading
Touch my mood with verse of pain
In your pool of sadness wading
Let me bathe, to grieve in vain
Sing to me, my sad song boy
Spin your song in which I’ll wallow
Winding blue ceramic notes
Tend your tune so I may follow
Agony, on which it dotes
6/26/18
Sang that Song Boy
Like there ain’t nothin’ wrong Boy
Because for so long Boy
I ain’t felt a tune
It’s been a long time, Boy, since I grooved
It’s been a long time, Boy, since I moved
And I don’ know what I am gonna do, Boy,
If I don’t get the chance,
Again
To kick up my heel and jam
And when you sang, Boy,
Make it short and sweet
Just give me enough to flip
On my feet
Because I was born to dance
And you were born to sing
with me.
I want to be your dream-boy, my jaan
You can fill my life with joy, my jaan
I don’t want to live like this, my jaan
Now you are the one I miss, my jaan
As if you are my full moon, my jaan
You are like Almighty’s boon, my jaan
I love you right from the start, my jaan
I want to live in your heart, my jaan
I want to keep you happy, my jaan
Without you I am floppy, my jaan
My favorite verse from THE soft rock song of my youth
Hit song of 1969 by the Carpenters:
(They Long To Be) Close To You
(middle stanza of the song)
"On the day that you were born
the angels got together and decided
to create a dream come true
so they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue."
Dream Boy
To fall for him I needed just one look
and after that, he had me on his hook -
a fact which I’m not sure he even knew!
Dream boy with hair of gold and eyes of blue.
I lived for those church dances in his town.
I’d see him there but always feel let down.
Girls followed him around. What could I do?
Dream boy with hair of gold and eyes of blue.
Not being in his orbit or his school,
I longed for him and simply played the fool.
The fantasy for me would not come true!
Dream boy with hair of gold and eyes of blue.
Dedicated to Chris Frogley, wherever now he may be.
For the "I Love Rock 'N roll" Poetry contest of Kelly Deschler
I love Fall Out Boy
Their songs fill me with joy
Rocking like a punk
And, did I mention that the lead singer is a hunk
Songs like Dance, Dance
Brought their career to a great advance
Dance moves
And awesome groves
Makes Fall Out Boys jam
A grand slam!
