Experiment in Pure Poetry

I will love you when you're blue
So what am I to you?
It never rains when you want it to
So, please forgive me.
She's got your eyes,
I see you all the time.
what do you say,
when it's all gone away?
I don't miss you at all.
I don't think of your smile.
I see conclusion
in all this confusion
But I don't care,
I want you to stay.
Lead me outside,
above ground.
I'll be with you someday.
Forgive me pretty baby,
I always take the long way home.

I can't hold on very long.
Got a head full of lightening,
a head full of rain.
just creepin' in.

Hot like to burn my lips
In the morning, baby in the afternoon
funny how my favorite shirt
smells more like you than me
current's strong from what I've heard
so my toes just touch the water
I thought this time that it may be true
walked a mile just to find the edge
now I'm here and I can begin to move
looks like morning in your eyes
but the clocks held 9:15, full house
the afternoon's already come and gone
suprise suprise, couldn't find it in your eyes
moving so fast, going nowhere
Tell me, how does it feel?
To be so high, looking down here?
Is it lonely?
He was only your fool for a while
Now he's gone back home, and left you wanderin' there
The prettiest thing I ever did see,
Is lightening from the top of the clouds.
Looks like home to me.
Lately I just haven't been myself at all,
But now I'm dreamin again,
Like I've always been.
I just want to hear those sweet words

So, I am experimenting here. We connect with music because of the vibe, and the lyrics right? It matches us, or inspires us. So, I'm choosing random albums that fit my mood at the time, putting them on shuffle, and clicking through them writing down the lyrics that stick out to me in each song. It's creating some potent poems. Try it, and let me know what happens. This post is from Norah Jones, Feels Like Home.
