the information
that this new shampoo
is 57% better than its predecessor
is a statement as ridiculous
as you saying
that I love you less
than before..
do I need to say more?

Find me:Again,this would be a great song if you rearranged a thing or two.That's the biggest compliment I can muster.

I haven't thought of it as a song, Doug. But who knows, you might be right: see if I can doctor it out,lol Thanks!

violent babies a gun in their hand
living like zombies no one understands
sticking their head in the ominous sand
oh, how happy we are

apologizing on telly, great show
using their handy for a thousand "hellos"
lost in a minefield, nowhere to go
oh, how happy we are

brainwashed by adverts day after day
no more excuses, no more delays
live like we want you to, no more to say
oh, how happy we are

the sentiment of spring
snow packing its bags
the sky a different shade of blue
awaiting appleblossom
an odour missed so dearly
decision made:
this time I won't neglect
what nature offers me

Hoot!Hoot!(I have spoken)

Your heart
is my window
to a world
with different colours
my heart
is your door
to a world
before unknown to you

Have you seen the child
who has been on the run
she won't be on the run anymore
wasn't she the child
you were waiting for,
hoping for, praying for
now she's gone

chorus:
She's gone to a place
so far away
she's gone,
You couldn't make her stay
she's gone to a place
you'll never know
she just wanted to go

have you seen the child
she's been on the run
she won't be on the run anymore
wasn't she the child
you were fighting for,
Caring for, working for
now she's gone

Have you seen the child:this is a great little song.I said Song!This sings right off the page.I know I've said that before,but only when I mean it.I was literally singing these words by the time I got the third stanza.Good work!

Thanks doug! It is a song indeed. I play this on the piano. Hahaha: no tshaikowski but anyway. What sort of melody do you hear?

Oh.....it's hard to explain.When I read these songs,in my head,I rarely sing them aloud.This just sings as easy as recites.I'm lucky,I'm no Paul McCartney but I can sing on key,the key I assume it's in.If I assume wrong,I'm out of luck!If I automatically start to "sing"a lyric,to me,it's successful.Get it?

That's allright with me, lol

While in Estonia, wrote a few more:


you may say a nice breakfast starting your day
or a gesture of friendship making you stay
is what's important, but it's not enough
what makes you feel good it is love

being in love, being in love
there's just nothing better
being in love, being in love
and nothing else seems to matter
being in love, being in love
two roads come together
being in love, being in love
just me and you,
it's what I'm thinking of!


PS: possible I write more verses in near future,lol

(Re:above post)
I could see Tiny Tim,tiptoeing through the tulips,singing this to the birds,as they land on his shoulders....."

Yeah! With that high whining voice of his...btw: winter was delaying spring so badly that tulips were inported this year for the flower carneval!!

Bacchus took me to a bar
offered me a drink
took a footbath in my room
needed time to think
good and bad like brothers live
it's not always clear
who'll explain it all to me
so that i have no fear?

Bacchus claims i need more wine
but i doubt that's true
if i want to sort it out
I'll need support from you,
my love come don't be shy ' cause i
mean every word i say:
You are the one to tell me why
we need both night and day

colours mingle, and at night
slowly drift apart
while I await the light

Hi, Amaryn of the Mystique-al!

RE: feelings

Perfect picture for a beautiful poem. It takes a poet to repeat a phrase and do it meaningfully and beautifully--as you do with the phrase "colours mingle" in the first and last stanzas. I particularly like this: "(I walk) keeping the sky company." Your words put me on the lonely strand . . . understanding the longing you express.

from a terrible sound
a ghosttown it is
on this planet somewhere
please open your eyes,
all is withering there
though
nobody laughs, nobody cries:
the silence of birds
will tell you no lies


picture taken in Chernobyl

Amaryn, again . . . perfection. What more can I say? These scenes repeat themselves all around the world--yes, even in the U.S., though many doubt it.

"The silence of the birds will tell you no lies." Very gripping, and a fitting punctuation to a very meaningful poem. Timeless.

who would not dance in the shade of the moon
like to forget that the end comes too soon
rock on the sound of his favourite band
no need now to understand

if you ask me, I would give you a smile
sure, I'd prefer that you guess for a while
sit by my side , just let life tell its tale
may wondrous ones prevail

Very representative of your personal "Mystique"!!

Love this!Any Poem with a footbath in it is cool with me!Just got home after a 3+ hour walk!(12:35)My feet are killing me!I get so into it now that I put on a couple of hundred albums on my ipod I haven't heard since the good old days!I got the greatest hits of every band I ever liked and am having a ball listening to them each night!See you,you know where!Tweet!Tweet!Hoot!Hoot!

@ Frankie! How intensely happy you made me by dropping by, nay, by looking at some of these poems and songs with that closely observing eye of yours. This is why your absence at times is felt dearly though I understand I have no right to protest! My sincere thanks to you!

@Doug: enjoy a footbath with soda after such a walk and listen to this avalanche of musical escapades. Thereafter you'll be fine again! Hoot,hoot!
