Delayed posting due to wonky internet with US devices in Ireland and all sorts of off-line writing into non-wordpress formats and then fiddling with posting to private tools.

I’ve been listening to loads of new music lately. Now that I finally entered the new musical world of streaming services, I am taking full advantage of recommendations – both from friends and from Spotify.

As I wrote yesterday, usually my poetry comes into my head as rhythmic spoken word. I hear variations of sound but not music as I write. This came to me with a bit of something more. It’s only in my head. I don’t have the tools the share more than the words at the moment. Regardless, this is one I think would be better described as lyrics.

🎶🎶🎶🎶

The day I first met you I didn’t know we’d have
The kind of love that could
It didn’t take long
Oh, it didn’t take long

🎶🎶🎶🎶

🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
The world turns and turns and turns

Day in and day out filling time with the patterns of our lives

Speeding down the highway toward our future

We look back in wonder how that was so fast

🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

Explosions of feeling when recalled

On our Journey
There are moments

Pinpoints that spark memories
Fireworks in my heart for you

🎶🎶🎶🎶 Pinpoints

The world turns and turns and turns

We look back in wonder how that was so fast

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

Day in and day out
filling time with patterns
Speeding toward our future

🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

first apartment
first anniversary
exchanged rings
bought a house
one, two, three kids
unemployed
back to work
first days of school
summer breaks
family holidays
school projects
teenagers!
graduations
ups and downs of daily life
years and years and years

every one better
because of you
flown by
because of you
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

🎶🎶🎶🎶 Pinpoints

Explosions of feeling when recalled

On our Journey
There are moments

Pinpoints that spark memories
Fireworks in my heart for you

🎶🎶🎶🎶

🎶🎶🎶🎶 Pinpoints

Fireworks in my heart for you
I still have fireworks in my head for you

Time has flown because of you
Because of you

🎶🎶🎶🎶 Pinpoints

The kind of love that could that could that could
The kind of love that could that could that could

🎶🎶🎶🎶 Pinpoints

Fireworks in my heart for you
Fireworks in my heart for you

🎶🎶🎶🎶 Pinpoints

For you
