Poetry in motion Day 15 of 30


April is national poetry month 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 songs, well lyrics of songs, that I consider pure poetry. Poetry in motion as it were.

If you've been swept away by a poem, whether or not put to music and can help sweep us away, please join in and share your ocean of emotion/poetry in motion as well.

Special thanks to drmgirl622, 4Faksake, jenny14, mockyloks & tsarah, who have offered suggestions or shared their selections.....It is greatly appreciated!

**POST IN COMMENTS DUE POOR SITE FEATURE MAINTENANCE**

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 as 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!

They can be sweet or sad, moving or numbing, quiet and gently stirring or fierce and loud. And sometimes....they just make you fucking HOT!

Slip n' slide, push it in
Bitch sure got the rhythm
I'm holding back, yeah, I got control
I'm hooked up into her system

Don't draw the line
Honey, I ain't through with you
The harder the better
Let's do it 'til we're black and blue

Well, you never know when love will come
Gotta get it while you got it
A little bit of everything, even when it hurts
Sure feels good

Don't draw the line
Honey, I ain't through with you
The harder the better
Let's do it 'til we're black and blue

I love these lyrics

So naughty and sexy


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

Superstar
The Carpenters

Long ago, and, oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show

Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here, it's just the radio

Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do

Loneliness is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again
What to say to make you come again?
Come back again and play your sad guitar

Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do

Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do

This song always brings tears.....it's very bittersweet

    Quoting  :

Well gee whiz. That's almost like a favorite story of mine. If anyone would get to live it for a bit, scary or not, I'm glad it was you.

Until I hear a plane pass over head last week, I hadn't even realized how I hadn't been hearing them all day like normal. As much as the media would have us believe differently based on a few select areas of higher than normal discontent, around me most are good spirited and hanging n there desperate for a much needed rest of body, soul and planet. Seeing the life we made as we know it slow down made me realize, just how much better off we are without all the givens and takings.

I think Im going to do a 10 day internet fast at the end of the month. No net at all for a week or so. as much as people swear thats the only way they are surviving, I see how much stress its adding.

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

It really is a sexy kind of tune from my high school days

Between her syrupy sweet voice and their lyrics they truly were a super duo even with the bittersweet thrown in. So much of the carpenters stuff is straight up taffy, isnt it?
