Poems and lyrics

[yetagainsorrows]

I want to screw you beside railroad tracks
as freight trains thunder past
manmade wind and noise and oil perfume
and the kinetic rush
of a thousand thousand tons
gliding and screeching past
the feel of the earth rumbling beneath us.

I want to screw you near Cape Canaveral
as the shuttle reaches and roars toward the sky.

I want to screw you in sight and sound and taste of ocean
mountains, prairie, desert, glacier
in the deepest primeval forest
during a raging lighting-storm
near the Grand Canyon
on the moon.

I want to screw you in the magic sphere
of Nature's vast power flowing within and between us.

I want to screw you during an earthquake
near a roaring volcano
in the midst of a hurricane and tsunami.

I want to own my own home and gather
all the internal strength I'd feel there
then you come to me unannounced in the night
or afternoon
when we haven't seen one another
in days, weeks, months, years....

I want you to devour me and me to devour you
tigers hidden among the suburban forest
of aluminum siding
roaring and then apart
treasuring the gifts of passion and life we share.

Just thinking about you turns me on
as if you helped me find a new switch
that's always been a part of me
but one I couldn't see before.

I want you as much as I can
as often as I can
as thoroughly as I can
for as long as I can.

Wow, lot's of talent here! I was gonna screw off and be a joker but everyone here has some cool poetry!

[ErikDC]

Sorry if I interrupted!

[finewine]

Just add your own poetry EricDC.
We'd love to read it.

It isn't mine, but I cry every time I read it...I AM the little boy in the poem, now grown up, in every way but reality...


THE BOY DOWN THE ROAD
(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1971)
From the album SUMMER BREEZE (1972).

Long long ago in a house up the road
Lived a maiden so beautiful.
Day after day she looked the same old way
As the sun shone off her hair of gold.
Someday I would go there and ask for her hand
Just as soon as I become a man.

In the afternoon she'd sit in the shade
And wave as I watched from down the road.
Time after time I wished my head to lay
In her arms and at last she would know.

Then one day a stranger came to call
And took her far away from down the road.
I watched 'til the dusk from the fields down below,
But in vain for the night began to fall.
Then came the message that summoned me to town,
And my knees gave way to the ground.

Spoken: They say that this message came with her dying breath,
The very last words she ever spoke:
"Give my love to the boy down the road,
And tell him not to cry....


for I know."


I just cried again. *I don't want to listen to the song, I fear it will mar the lyrics in my mind.


Jaybee.
