You there, you’re better off here
You there, you’re better off here
Funny it takes no time to fall back down
Funny it takes the time to get back up
You there, you’re better off here
You there, you’re better off here
Funny it takes no time to fall back down
Funny it takes the time to get back up
Uncover your eyes
Uncover your eyes
There’s no sun, where is your direction?
Uncover your eyes
Uncover your eyes
Ask yourself, where is your reflection?
Uncover your eyes
Uncover your eyes
There’s no sun, where is your direction?
Uncover your eyes
Uncover your eyes
Ask yourself, where is your reflection?

So, in the sweet spirit of sharing, loving, and caring i asked a friend if she could suggest a song for today’s music prompt and she willingly suggested this song which i love with all of my being. In fact, i had to download two of the duo’s album yesterday.
Trust me, you will love this song. so listen to it, compose a poem inspired by song and share with us.
Lover’s by the lake
Always looking up and up and up
To the tops of the trees
To see mingling leaves
Where the sun shines bright
To see each other’s light
Mingling between each other’s eyes
Where the love light lies.
You should be here
Living in the sun
Take off your blinkers
The worst has now been done
You are stronger,
Stronger than you seem
You have weathered the storm
Your conscience is clean.
Come, stay here with me
I will be your friend
If you will be my saviour
When I reach my end.
First off, the imagery at play in the poem is epic. It appeals to my senses. These are lines I was talking about:
Taking off the blinkers…
…I will be your friend
If you’ll be my saviour
When I reach my end.
Nice one Kattt. I’m glad you’re part of us.
You taught me joy.
You taught me what it might be
— to love again.
You taught me I am not ready.
You showed me how tight his hold still is.
I cannot be fully there with you, for you
— not yet.
I hope you’re there when I am.
This is deep. Would have love someone…maybe @899 or @guest_6531 to appreciate it. Thanks for sharing this with us…
You there
I’m waiting
And wanting
U here
With me
You are my
Obsession
I want
To see
The love
In your eyes
As I help
You up
Your beauty
Runs deep
In my affection
So let’s
Go there
With no
Distractions
Where lovers
Meet in
Seclusion
With just
You and
Me there
I really must admit that repetition in the poem makes it interesting to read. Favorite line is:
So let’s
Go there
With no
Distractions…
Love it👍👏✍️
Thank you! Honestly it’s not my favorite attempt! I should never write on an empty stomach. Oatmeal makes my writing so much better lol 😜😂😂
You’re funny. If that’s the case. Now that you are filled with oatmeal 😊 I think you should give it another try
Relentless spacetime wields
yesterday’s apocalypse
our moments alone under
strange sun’s haunting gaze.
Wild astonishment shadows
as we walk upon new roads
where should we go when
one hand clapping is silenced.
We struggle making days
direction’s mirror clouded
leaving us distracted
no where left to go.
Love the first stanza… personification is lit. Thanks for sharing this with us my friend 👍👏✍️😁
You there do you care
You say you care
You sit in your office
You twiddle your thumbs
Try lifting and turning residents at night
Try washing, dressing, feeding residents
Try doing it for 6 months of the year
You have the knowledge but not the know-how
