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

Have you thought about finding a publisher?
ReplyDeleteYou got me:)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Nice writing, initiativestain!
ReplyDeletekeep up the great work!!
:)
This is one night that I did wish to do one post as well as this hear and I thank you.

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.

ReplyDeleteDon't tell anyone but it's snowing here!
Seems Quiet Right
ReplyDeleteYou 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

ReplyDeleteLyricist....
ReplyDelete.such a thoughtful poem .
ReplyDeleteLove this Jack :) I love poetry, wish I could write it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem
ReplyDeleteThanks....hmmm :)
ReplyDeleteReplyDelete
. mm ---yes.. I thought it would be lovely ..set to music..have you got a guitar?..:)
ReplyDeleteYes, but the main thing here is that everyone can write as well as sing or create some harmony for that manner.
ReplyDeleteJust 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 :)
I got goosebumps reading this! I didn't know that you write poetry, Jack! You really are quite good at it. Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteNot one to brag but there is a group I belong to that has ironically this theme of "sound" for today and well, I am rather reserve - gosh I have allot of pictures!
ReplyDeletewow..............photography turns out not to be your only talent.............well done this is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThanks Loretta, I just enjoy to write now and then pending on what comes to me.
