I've joined an online writing website, actually I've joined a couple.
Lately, I haven't had a chance to write any poetry but I've got a backload of work that I'm slowly putting onto a couple of sites.
I wonder what the etiquette is at these writing sites..... can I post the same work on all the sites?
oh well....
I thought I'd post something in my blog. This particular poem I wrote as song lyrics for the book I've written. Female singing, in an old world celtic manner - beautiful deep voice. Also it has a subtle hint of erotiscism - can't have the love song without something like that.
I have attempted to sing it, and I did sing it, but I can't for the life of me put the tune down on paper :( i guess what I'm saying is, it is singable, which I was quite happy about.
It's possible I might simply post poetry here in my blog.
Love Yields
‘Bright as the warmest sun,
shine ov’ leaf and flower true,
to reign in heart and song.
My love’s fairest voice ensues.
Remove not your deep tune,
but shed light on my bleak fields
and come unto me,
as I wait and love yields.
~
‘Heat my silent inner part
with the lengthy rays of affection.
And I, a flower, loving heart,
seek your song above all perfection.
Wither me not my ardent one,
But shed your light on desolate fields
and come unto me,
as I wait and love yields.
~
‘Beneath my winter skin,
desire in me to make
our burning hearts akin.
Need for love do not forsake.
All promises I shall fulfil,
if shed light would ravish my fields.
Till you come unto me,
I wait and love will yield.’
