To a Stranger

To a Stranger by Walt Whitman

Passing stranger! you do not know
How longingly I look upon you,
You must be he I was seeking,
Or she I was seeking
(It comes to me as a dream)

I have somewhere surely
Lived a life of joy with you,
All is recall'd as we flit by each other,
Fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured,

You grew up with me,
Were a boy with me or a girl with me,
I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become
not yours only nor left my body mine only,

You give me the pleasure of your eyes,
face, flesh as we pass,
You take of my beard, breast, hands,
in return,

I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you
when I sit alone or wake at night, alone
I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again
I am to see to it that I do not lose you.

Poetry to me.......Adele

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh
Oh, no Let it burn,

One and Only

I just bought the new Adele CD. Its absolutely wonderful. She has such a soulful voice. I'm past addicted. This song has to be one of my favorites. Its about someone who loves someone that does not want to give their heart away because of a past or being scared! Its very moving! Give it a listen. I guarantee you will become a fan. The YouTube video isn't the best...but good enough!!






One and Only Lyrics

You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day loose myself in time
Just thinking of your face God only knows
Why it's taking me so long to let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want

I don't know why I'm scared, I've been here before
Every feeling every word, I've imagined it all,
You never know if you never tried to forgive your past
And simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
Promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
until the end starts
Have I been on your mind

You hang on every word I say, lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name, will I ever know
How it feels to hold you close
And have you tell me which ever road I chose you'll go

I don't know why I'm scared, Coz I've been here before
Every feeling every word, I've imagined it all,
You never know if you never try to forgive your past
And simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts

I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart

Nobody's perfect, it ain't easy, trust me (Ive lerned it), I've given up your heart
Nobody's perfect, it ain't easy, trust me I've given up your heart

I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
Nobody's perfect, it ain't easy, trust me I've given up your heart

So I dare you to let me be all, the one and only
I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk tat mile until the end starts
Come and give me the chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that miles until the end starts.

My own soundtrack!

I'm sure everyone hears a song or lots of songs that go right along with moments from your life. Or you hear a song..and you wish you had a moment to go along with that song! I know that sounds crazy...but looks who is blogging! Me!! I have so much music bouncing around in my head. Maybe I should blog the music and if appropriate blog the memory. I won't give dates or names...but just let it out! Hmm...if your a sensitive soul....just be prepared!! LOL!! I'm kinda open when I write..I may offend or I crack you up or bring tears...who knows!! I will attempt to do this often. Not every song has a great YouTube vid to go with it, but I will post the closest thing I can and the lyrics! BEWARE!! I can be a sap and a big b*tch!

This song reminds me of a look in someones eye. The look of go ahead..you can't hurt me. Leave! It was cold...no pulse..no warmth. Nothing. Of course it killed me to my core. I was shattered beyond words. But little did he know...I would haunt him a lot longer than it ever would me. I never wished that for this person..but its funny how life works.

HOW STRONG ARE YOU NOW...

When she told you goodbye
You didn't flinch
When she looked back
You didn't even budge an inch
You stood there like stone
But now that she's gone

[CHORUS]

How strong are you now
Without her around
You can't even keep one little bitty tear
From fallin' down
Tell me how strong are you know

Before she left you told yourself
It can't hurt that much
Now you're doubled over
Like you took a punch
No, she ain't coming back
Tell me how much can you take of that

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Tell me how strong are you now - yeah
How strong are you now - oh, oh
What's that rule you live by
You say tough guys never cry
But how strong are you now

Song of the day...

I love her voice....so I play a lot of her music. My son listens to everything I listen too.....within reason. Today he has been stuck on this song. I mean the boy is using the Wii controller and is singing his heart out in the kitchen. If I don't sing with him...he wants to give me a "butt whippin". Lol!
