Poetry in motion Day 4 of 30


April is national poetry month in the USA and while I do follow along with my local library's daily selection, this year instead of writing my own poetry or sharing a classic of another, I am sharing my picks for songs, well lyrics of a song, that I consider pure poetry.

**POST IN COMMENTS**

Sometimes I make a move, sorry to leave my home, but hope I will find another of equal character.
At night I gaze at the starry mass with no idea to which one the earth attached.
May'be that cute little one over there or that one that sits alone in the inky black

We all have them don't we? Those poems or songs that roll over you like a tidal wave, making you close your eyes, open your ears, throw your head back and tune out the world as the tune itself drowns you in feeling!

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it's twilight time
When purple colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time

Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the same and sweet old way, I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way, I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time

The Platters '"Twilight Time"


If you've been swept away or can help sweep me away, please join in and share your ocean of emotion/poetry in motion as well. I've got about 10 on deck off the top of my head but '30 days hath Sept, April, June and.......' so all help is appreciated. A big THANK YOU to drmgirl622 for singing along every day

Sometimes I make a move, sorry to leave my home, but hope I will find another of equal character.

Yeah, I keep getting kicked out then have to log back in after every action. I finally gave up last night hoping it would work today but I guess not.

My blog isnt there when I click on it. I get the charming blank START A BLOG mssg. Thankfully they are all there when I click the TITLE VIEW option.

I was curious to know how the standard membership worked since thats what its temporarily showing for me on my profile( though other parts of my act still show me gold). I can read and send email messages, which I didnt think was possible. SO yeah, lol they're alttastic as always

I got chills, they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power, you're supplying
It's electrifying

You better shape up, 'cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart I must be true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do

You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey

You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey

You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed

If you're filled with affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way

I better shape up, 'cause you need a man
I need a man who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up, if I'm gonna prove
You better prove that my faith is justified
Are you sure? Yes I'm sure down deep inside

You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey

You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey

You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed

You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey

You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey

You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed

You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want

Grease is the word !!

This is another beautiful poem


A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw

The main writer for The Platters was top notch, no doubt about it.

Oh, you and your Oprah issues. Still, its better than your Judge Judy fetish

You're favorite O and mine is slated for sure, though I'm pretty certain my poetry choice is different than yours would be. O so very many choices.

Liberty Valance???Yeeeahhhh I dunno??
