~ Be There ~

Will Be There

Out of trace with you for so long
This feeling has been coming over me
Down this line it’s message I've learned
One can take love granted yet so easily get burned
Even when you’re strong you can stand on your own
But doesn’t time move so quickly
 
I'm not alone when I'm strong inside
Yet I realize

These few years have come and gone by
All those moments just seemed to slip away
I recall seeing the future when I look within your eyes
Those very echoes of a promise I made
Seemingly just slipped away
Yet the heart runs so deep

I'm not alone when I'm strong inside
Yet I know it’s up to you dear I do realize

Only my soul runs to you I promised to be true
So I do a swear to not slip away
For each and everyday
We both know about the things that we feel
And the things that we we wish to say
 
I'm not alone when I'm strong inside
Yet I realize

Keeping this promise is like a seal from my heart
Only you would know what that means
We can never know where our lives will lead
Wherever you go whenever you need
I will be there as I have come to realize

I will be there

  2. You got me:)

    I just finished after coming back and just writing. I will get into it now and then. To answer ya Karyn no I haven't, in that past I have wrote lyrics and some poetry but most off all I love placing it down in a musical format. Lyrics and poetry really do go hand in hand.

  6. "Wherever you go whenever you need
    I will be there as I have come to realize

    I will be there"

    These lines really touched me. I knew someone like that, who was there for me even after I got married. In the end, I was there for him. He died on Spring Equinox.
    A lovely poem.
    Yes, "Lyrics and poetry really do go hand in hand." I feel that poetry has to have "voice," music in it. When I read a poem, I feel like I'm driving over bumps if it doesn't flow.

  13. Seems Quiet Right


    You were sitting and I was thinking
    Of all the times that we have been spending around
    The situation could only get better
    And I never uncovered
    Nor discovering what I found

    This situation can only get better
    Seemingly it's all quiet right

    In the morning, just moving easy
    These moments seem so right
    The sun is rising and those soft whispers
    These moments we just seem to understand
    Nothing fancy just so easy
    One realizes what may be found

    This situation could only get better
    As it's all quiet right
    When the night comes while you were dreaming
    I was thinking about the things we've said
    It's looking forward
    With a certain ease now
    Time isn’t passing us by


    This situation can only get better
    As it seems quite right

  15. Love this Jack :) I love poetry, wish I could write it.

  16. . mm ---yes.. I thought it would be lovely ..set to music..have you got a guitar?..:)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yes, but the main thing here is that everyone can write as well as sing or create some harmony for that manner.
    Just think of a quick thought and jot down some words and nothing is perfect....I don't know of anyone that has wrote
    knowing it all. As it starts with a word....merely a word and thought..for some it's based on some melodies for most it's
    based on one word without the need for it to be perfect it's just.......

    "It's Just" < there is a theme :)
