Song-writing Rampage

Here are more lyrics from my most recent song...

EVERYDAY

And in the sky I see bits of you.
I see yellow, I see blue.
up in the clouds that float above.
I see rainbows in your love.
everyday.

and as the curtain rises, up my dear,
after the only show.
I walk the aisle toward the door,
somehow solemn, somewhat slow.
everyday.

and when I reach the outdoor air,
it chills me to the bone.
because tonight without you here,
I feel so all alone.
everyday...

amidst the drops of pouring rain,
I see darkness; midnight blue.
amidst the tears of pain,
there's my horror stuck like glue.
everyday...

and as I drive my two door car
on the longest highway home,
I see my eyes in the rearview mirror,
in the eyes of a faceless gnome.
everyday...

and when I reach to turn my key,
I enter and you're gone,
but somehow baby, you linger here
at night til the rise of dawn...
everyday....

amidst the rays of morning sun,
I find my smile again
and briefly until the evening sets,
I forget about my pain....

and as I dress to start anew,
I hum softly to myself,
and though you're somewhere else, not here,
your ghost is ever stealth....

everyday....
everyday....
everyday....

everyday....

New song lyrics

I wrote two new songs. one using an old poem of mine.
here are the lyrics....

PAINFUL LOVE

it's painful to love you.
it hurts me nearly everyday.
to watch you, and know you.
to wait on you and hope for you.
it tears me up inside.
it's painful loving you tonight.

it's darkness to know you.
it's hard times to live.
to want you and ache for you.
to wait on you and hope for you.
it rips my heart apart.
it's darkness knowing you tonight.

it's painful to know you.
it's darkness to hold to.
but i gotta do,
what i gotta do
i wait on you and hope for you
tonight.

it's painful
it's darkness
to hold to.
but i got to.
it's painful
to hold you
tonight
tonight

but in the darkness there comes light.
and in the pain there is reward.
in the feelings that i hate.
in the loving that you scorn
there is longing tonight.
there is hoping tonight.
but it's so painful tonight.

it's painful to know you.
it's darkness to hold to.
but i gotta do
what i gotta do.
i wait on you and hope for you...
tonight.

it's painful.
it's darkness
to hold to
but i got to.
it's painful
to hold you.
tonight
tonight

(repeat last verse)

Song two...

SWEET NOTHINGS

Talk to me night lover
while you're making love to me.
say to me the things so sweet
that i want us to be

sweet nothings
sweet nothings

talk to me and hold my hand
i promise not to run
i promise to be there for you
if you become the one

sweet nothings
sweet nothings

whisper in my ear
blow softly as you talk
tell me of a future year
when hand in hand we'll walk

sweet nothings
sweet nothings

whisper to me, sweet nothings
and hold me in your arms
for i can find no better things
than the softness of your charms.

sweet nothings
sweet nothings

talk to me
hold me

sweet nothings
sweet nothings

whisper softly to me
walk with me

sweet nothings
sweet nothings
nothings

Best Karaoke Night Ever

Tonight at Karaoke we all played the gender bender game where you have to sing a song by the opposite sex and to make it even more interesting we were not allowed to choose our own songs. you had to wait until it was your turn to find out what you were about to sing. the funniest song to me, was Me and Bobby McGhee, by one of the guys who sang it in the style of one of the ladies who sings that song as one of her regulars. it was hilarious. i sang Aerosmith - Dude looks like a Lady, Michael Jackson - the way you make me feel and Last but not least - Bust a Move. Rap.
Funniest quote of the night - after one of the ladies sang a Def Leopard song our host said "not so much Def Leopard, more like hard of hearing cougar."
very fun night!
lots of good laughs and good memories.
i can't wait to do it again!
too bad we didn't have a video camera!!

Elizabeth I

I think I may have found a new favorite movie. Elizabeth 1. What an excellent portrayal of an amazing historical figure. There were a few parts in it, that are not for the faint of heart, but a well made movie nonetheless. There was a lot of interesting information in it. For anyone who is interested in history and/or the monarchy, I would highly recommend it.

new song lyrics

yesterday i wrote lyrics and put music to my first full length song ever!
it was a lot of fun.
here are the lyrics...


I Will Be

i need to come out strong.
i will show what i can be.
no more weakness,
no more fear...
i have to be what i can be.

no more stifling.
no more holding on!
i don't want to lay in wait.
i don't want to live with regret,
i just wanna live!

oo-oo
oo-oo

no more following.
i want to lead.
no more bowing,
i'm gonna stand.
i'm gonna light up the greyest skies.
i'm gonna make them turn bright blue.

no more sitting in the darkness!
i just want to glow glow glow...
i don't wanna be controlled...
i just wanna shine shine shine!!

oo-oo
oo-oo
oo-oo-oooo!

i will be what i can be!
no more fear,
no fear for me!
i will ride the highest title wave!
i wanna be what i can be...
i wanna be what i can be,
i wanna be what i can be!

oo-oo

oo-oo

oo-oo

oo-oo

what i can be!!

If Not For You - Poem

This is one of my favorites. let me know what you think.

I JUST DON'T FEEL STRONG ENOUGH,
TO COPE WITH THINGS THAT MAKE ME BLUE.
AND I JUST DON'T FEEL STRONG ENOUGH,
TO LAUGH AT THINGS THE WAY YOU DO.

I JUST KNOW I'M STRONG ENOUGH,
THAT I WILL MAKE IT THROUGH,
IF NOT FOR YOU.

I JUST DON'T FEEL SURE ENOUGH,
TO PULL THE REIGNS SO HARD.
I JUST DON'T FEEL SURE ENOUGH,
TO LAY DOWN MY LAST CARD.

I JUST KNOW I'M STRONG ENOUGH,
THAT I WILL MAKE IT THROUGH.
IF NOT FOR YOU.

I JUST DON'T FEEL PLEASANT NOW,
BUT I WILL MAKE IT THROUGH.
I JUST DON'T FEEL BRAVE RIGHT NOW,
BUT I WILL MAKE IT THROUGH.

I KNOW I AM STRONG ENOUGH,
TO DO WHAT I MUST DO.
IF NOT FOR YOU.

IT'S NOT FOR YOU.

ALISA - The Blackest Cat

Untitled Poem

Silence is a terror to me.
agony is my pledge.
broken dreams are shattered hopes.
through tiles on the floor they wedge.
Alisa

Poem - Dark Boy

His roots are based in soiled sands.
he has the filth of the world all over his hands.
and when you play his games,
he always wins.
he is a great white shark,
bearing razor sharp fins.
Alisa

interpretations welcome here too.

Poem - Retrieval

Midnight sat upon a rock,
That called out to the pond.
And depth and stillness came to him,
And now he's finally gone.
Alisa

All interpretations welcome.

Sad Puppy

I sure was sorry to see my favorite fighter (Rich Franklin) go down the way he did. THAT SUCKED! Hope to see him back out there kicking some butt soon! :)

The Other Fighters...

These are the other fighters I mentioned in the post below...
From top to bottom they are
George St. Pierre
Chuck Liddell
Tito Ortiz
Joe Riggs

I've seen Chuck Liddell and Joe Riggs fights live at UFC 57. Sure wish I could be at UFC 64 to see Rich Franklin!

Delicious!

This is my favorite UFC fighter. He's the current Middle Weight World Champion. His name is Rich Franklin. After him I like George St. Pierre,Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz and Joe Riggs. (in that order.)
