"Empty Is My World (Without You)" empty is my world... empty is my world empty is my world without you empty is my world... empty is my world empty is my world without you somewhere in the stars way out there past mars there's a beacon in the sky and it's callin' sends it's best to you all it says is true when the time is right they'll be comin' empty is my world... empty is my world empty is my world without you empty is my world... empty is my world empty is my world without you tell it to your soul the part of you that knows that the voices in the sky have been callin' something we don't know in the distant shadow glows we are in their sights they've been watchin' empty is my world... empty is my world empty is my world without you empty is my world... empty is my world empty is my world without you (bridge) in the silence of the night when they reach out gonna feel it in your bones getting closer every day without a doubt hope is movin' in will we be foe or friend? empty is my world... empty is my world empty is my world without you empty is my world... empty is my world empty is my world without you (2008 db michel) Btw...For those who may be curious...This was written as a take on what a friendly message from an extra-terrestrial intelligence might be if decoded...And human reflection on what such an experience might be like...The friendly and rather lonely alien message...Empty is my world...without you...

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word It's sad, so sad It's a sad, sad situation And it's getting more and more absurd It's sad, so sad Why can't we talk it over Oh it seems to me That sorry seems to be the hardest word Music: Elton John Lyrics: Bernie Taupin |

Wild Irish Rose Songwriter: Bobby Braddock They sent him to Asia to fight in a war He came back home crazy and asking what for? They had him committed, gold medals and all To a mental hospital with rubber walls. They cut off the funding, they cut off the lights He hit the street runnin' that cold winter night Now the streets are the only place he can call home He seems oh so lonely, but he's never alone. He lies there holding his Wild Irish Rose This crazy old fool in the smelly old clothes He could have had something much better, God knows Than a half-empty bottle of Wild Irish Rose. A baby named Scarlet with laughing blue eyes Has been in his wallet, way back since '65 So much was forgotten, so far back in time Way down in the bottom of a river of wine. You know, they found him at Clark Street and West 25th They can't even find a heartbeat, Lord, his fingers are stiff Just like they're all frozen, he's holding her tight But the habit, oh, it's broken, this is Roses' last night. He lies there holding his Wild Irish Rose But his soul's in a place where a real hero goes Now he's got something better, much better, God knows Than a half-empty bottle of Wild Irish Rose.

"Is There Someone Calling" it is said that you must come back home before you can leave again it is said you must offer your hand before you know foe from friend i've lived my life an enigma even to myself God knows i'm hard to understand for anybody else and the sweeping vision of the stars out there has always caught my mind may i finally find a friend out there? when on Earth they're hard to find are there living secrets? in those little points of light? is there someone calling? that can't be seen by eyes (2010 db michel) This is unfinished...I was having a lonely, dreary morning and i just felt closer to the stars than i do to anyone else.

I always did like this thread, but the poems I post seem to be ignored most of the time. Oh well, I'm not in it for the fame. |

Life is calm It is your face, O sister dear, At happiness scarce smiling here, Life is your face, dear sister, So calm; As life is and your happiness, Your face is cloudless, calm, and passionless. Even the river hushes Between its banks, among its rushes; One by one fall flowers; Silent, gentle eventide, Life is calm where waters glide; By waters where the happiness that lies Smiling, sister, in the tender flashing of your eyes, Is wondering at the waters, and the evenings, and the hours (translated out of Dutch) rOZZ Music Pictures |

To look at me, a grizzeld, weary, worn man, you see. But gaze into my eyes you'd see, A playfull man filled with glee. Yes at times a tear or two, But many laughs Id share with you. The joys of days past are many abound, But the joys of future are still to be found. [/quote] Old James |

Insomniac ~ Sylvia Plath The night is only a sort of carbon paper, Blueblack, with the much-poked periods of stars Letting in the light, peephole after peephole --- A bonewhite light, like death, behind all things. Under the eyes of the stars and the moon's rictus He suffers his desert pillow, sleeplessness Stretching its fine, irritating sand in all directions. Over and over the old, granular movie Exposes embarrassments--the mizzling days Of childhood and adolescence, sticky with dreams, Parental faces on tall stalks, alternately stern and tearful, A garden of buggy rose that made him cry. His forehead is bumpy as a sack of rocks. Memories jostle each other for face-room like obsolete film stars. He is immune to pills: red, purple, blue --- How they lit the tedium of the protracted evening! Those sugary planets whose influence won for him A life baptized in no-life for a while, And the sweet, drugged waking of a forgetful baby. Now the pills are worn-out and silly, like classical gods. Their poppy-sleepy colors do him no good. His head is a little interior of grey mirrors. Each gesture flees immediately down an alley Of diminishing perspectives, and its significance Drains like water out the hole at the far end. He lives without privacy in a lidless room, The bald slots of his eyes stiffened wide-open On the incessant heat-lightning flicker of situations. Nightlong, in the granite yard, invisible cats Have been howling like women, or damaged instruments. Already he can feel daylight, his white disease, Creeping up with her hatful of trivial repetitions. The city is a map of cheerful twitters now, And everywhere people, eyes mica-silver and blank, Are riding to work in rows, as if recently brainwashed. Reality Internet Personality |

and when the time came,he stood at the gate the angels by his side the truth in his heart,the feeling of fate but a moment filled with pride the days,the weeks,the years rolled by for everyone to see a lifetime it seemed of sweat and toil not exempt from misery but mistakes had been made,wrongs been done words spoken in haste the truth was now out,here stands just a man another who could be deemed just a waste fear not said the voice,open your heart step forward, come unto me, for yours was a path,that many have led you followed your destiny the love that you gave,the smiles that you brought these actions sealed your fate for inside every man,learned not taught is forgiveness, the key to the gate THE RECKONING by DAVID ALEXANDER GRANT 19/03/2009 |
