This was actually quite good fun. Didn't realise I had an inner poet lol!

Coffeehouse Reflection

A distant view, Sunrise,Sunset

Beautiful people, escaping youth

Let's get lost, somewhere I have never travelled

You know how to make me feel so good

The awakening of a woman

Warmth of your eyes, green eyes

You are so beautiful, I'm so in love with you

Do you really want to rescue me?

The old man's back again, She belongs to me!

My heart is broken, ripped open by metal explosions

I never thought you'd leave me, wish I didn't miss you

Dark Sienna, all I ask

Take care of love

Nice to meet you, life

@Jazzwhatever

I don't know if it's political 🙂

I just tried to do something different of "I love you, Do you love me ? I miss you, do you miss Me ?" 🙂

Poetry is not only about love and relationship 🙂 and as it's linked to music, I tried to do a combination of music suggesting images when you listen and read the text and not only music of genres and artists I like.

But well, that's personal to myself, everyone can have a different view.

🙂

[Jazzwhatever]

@Gidyin When is your poetry novel coming out? 🙂

@Soundofus: Ofcourse, poetry can be about anything. So kudos for your original approach 🙂

[Gidyin]

Nice work Matt, I think you've missed your calling!

[Gidyin]

@Jazzwhatever haha, not anytime soon you'll be glad to hear!

[crematedman]

edited it again, and I refuse to touch it again because that was genuinely emotionally draining XD appreciate the kind words

far out is that a brilliant playlist @Gidyin even just with the song choices

genuinely euphoric and thought-provoking romantic stanzas, natural transformation, decent rhythym (all qualities of good peotry).

[Gidyin]

@crematedman cheers for the kind words! Didn't think yours needed any editing but the second version is excellent. You have clearly put a lot of thought into it! I've not had a chance to listen to any of the playlists yet but going to give them a spin later. Good work everyone.

I had loads of fun doing this! Great idea.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Hi there!

That was fun to make.

Here's my contribution 🙂

Tonight, Tonight

My love is winter
But yesterday everything was different
Used to love her
On & On

She was just a teen
Young and beautiful
Money changes everything
Yeah yeah

I should have listened to grannie
She said, she said
Girls just want to have fun
Do you realize??

Where I end and you begin
And then… Little by little
I only wish I knew
How to disappear completely

I might be wrong
But if
But if you leave me (Shivers)
You’ll see your soul burning like fire

This fire will melt your heart
And you, you will ask
Oh Lord
How soon is now?

Got to get back to my baby
Too little, too late, little darlin’
I guess I’ll have to forget
You’re the one 

[crematedman]

@Bittencourt sounds like some quality song lyrics! great artists ^_^

[Bittencourt]
