Song lyrics as poetry, here you'll find lyrics which work as poems in their own right.
String Instruments
What's the point of so many rhythmic lines?...
Row, rhyme and rum
They are just waves in the same sea.
Seagull murmurs
like someone singing a fado or two
or it will come to sing much later.
Arrange drawers, sticks and prints
from left to right in an order
almost alphabetical.
Unhinged fairies blessing the sound
of a lute, a guitar and a banjo.
Without wings, without bones, like angels!
Pain descriptive nonconformities
that passes through the brain shamelessly
Bloodlust of a dark predator.

the pleasant land
The people refused to enter The Pleasant Land, for they wouldn’t
believe His promise to care for them.”― Psalm 106:24 NLT
the silent night sings strange songs,
whose tonics bring no healing to my soul;
for melodies my heart longs,
to classify the pieces of my whole
into their sovereign places.
discordant chords rage bitter
upon the palate of my reverie,
no resolutions fitter
for tears that rivulet my eyes. i see
life's unrepentant faces
that, like the sun, delude me,
though on the edge of...

Gods of Rhyme
Maybe she's a goddess
maybe he's a god
all the poets I've known
are bound to give them the nod
We all bend the knee
when it's writing time
when the words stream down
from the gods of rhyme
When the words keep bouncing
round your head
you can't help wonder
where your pen gets led
From the clearest mountain
where reason flies
to the darkest corner
with unseeing eyes
I knew my beginnings
but I don't know the end
so there's no sense guessing
if a rhyme's your friend
...

The Troglodytes
The troglodytes come out at night
come out at night to play,
the troglodyte delights in night
and never comes out by day
by day and never comes out by day.
Oh, the troll and his mate
in a terrible state
in a terrible state by day,
they both sunlight hate
but never ever hesitate
to come out at night to play
to play, to come out and night to play.
Oh, The troglodyte is full of fright
so full of fright by day,
is at night such a horrible sight
he frightens the trolls away
away, he frightens the trolls...
come out at night to play,
the troglodyte delights in night
and never comes out by day
by day and never comes out by day.
Oh, the troll and his mate
in a terrible state
in a terrible state by day,
they both sunlight hate
but never ever hesitate
to come out at night to play
to play, to come out and night to play.
Oh, The troglodyte is full of fright
so full of fright by day,
is at night such a horrible sight
he frightens the trolls away
away, he frightens the trolls...

BEFORE TIME IS UP
I never thought
I would wind up in love
The way it came, to like what it brought
It hit me hard, in the heart, nooo noooo
A huge shot...
(Gun sound)
Now I'm clingy, I feel attached,
I'm so crazy, I'm so fucked.....
My mind now, it'll rush to rot,
Inside in, inside out
Maybe it's the one, maybe it's not
I'm escaping this now,
Before time is up
Before time is up...
Before time is up
Before time is up
Oh nooo
Before time is up.....
Oooooooo
What now???
If my time is up..... ...
I would wind up in love
The way it came, to like what it brought
It hit me hard, in the heart, nooo noooo
A huge shot...

Now I'm clingy, I feel attached,
I'm so crazy, I'm so fucked.....
My mind now, it'll rush to rot,
Inside in, inside out
Maybe it's the one, maybe it's not
I'm escaping this now,
Before time is up
Before time is up...
Before time is up
Before time is up
Oh nooo
Before time is up.....
Oooooooo
What now???
If my time is up..... ...

The Blankety Blank Song
I knew an engineer and before he died,
Ah-rump, titty-rump, titty-rump,
I knew an engineer and before he died,
told me a tale and opened my eyes wide
Ah-rump, titty-rump, titty-rump,
I knew an engineer and before he died,
he told me a tale and opened my eyes wide
and I've no reason to believe he lied.
Ah-rump, titty-rump, titty-rump,
Ah-rump, titty-rump, titty-rump.
He had a wife with a blank so wide,
Ah-rump, titty-rump, titty-rump,

Dweller In The Dwelling (lyrics by David Eugene Edwards, cut-up)
ivy laurel I'm on it The light I'm As magic The quiet Menace the Fable of bees Shinning cypress At the great floor In the pallor of curses Orphic the pool The pool inside her Oracle Tammuz Rung hanging bell of Shiva Jangling lesser am still
The light celeste Indus flooding Nile Euphrates to the sun Your graces they archaic wounds to bind Is it light I'm on it Myrte olive ivy begotten form Your faces they are without regard Corn tail Alabaster Serpent mound Come up
Come up Down Tore psychic shroud you wore So is no place Save here In the Western Hold your breath...

You and Eye got a Screw loose
Whos to say who's the arsonist ?
Who's the accelerant in this pyre?
Maybe it was those green eyes
Gazing within the lunatic asylum
As opposite attractions drawn
Moths dancing the flame
Beneath the spoon
All that's left to say
I got nothing better to do
Than to get fucked up on you
Baby I'm not a heroin girl
Cocaine cowbell speed freak
Baby gotta confess
It's oblivion I seek
Hand in hand riding the lighting
Prescription pètes pleasure cruise
All the while pickling a liver...
Who's the accelerant in this pyre?

Baby I'm not a heroin girl
Cocaine cowbell speed freak
Baby gotta confess
It's oblivion I seek
Hand in hand riding the lighting
Prescription pètes pleasure cruise

Selfish Nature
Selfish nature elevation.
Relish major selling labels?
Quelling wager, well, its nay, sir.
Fellow paydirt, shelling failure.
Tell a hater, "Jealous, player?"
Helping tailor, hello waivers.
Relics wayward, realms of favor.
Bell witch angles, pelting strangers.
Felt in fable, swelling Clayman.
Helpless pacers, hellish anger.
Melon mangled, melted taste buds.
Smelling Steak-Umm's, velum flavors.
Spelling savor, gelling labor.
Felon neighbors dealt the chambers.
Twelve AM for...

psalm 12
a testament of praise
_____of andrew, on the dawning of a new day_____
A cappella voice♫
1 when i toasted in the fire,
behold, You were with me;
when i fluttered in the water,
You saw my agony.
Add flutes♫
2 when shades of night
consumed my light,
You were the lamp
that lit my camp.
3 when, all day long,
raged wild a throng
ripe for the kill,
You said, be still!
Senza flutes♫
4 when i laboured in my shackles,
You bore the yoke for me;
5 when i tackled my debacles,...

When Creation Says It's Time
(Verse 1) In a darkened sky where stars align,
The universe gave us a love divine.
Guiding paths through the cosmic dance,
We found each other, a fateful chance.
(Chorus) Mother Nature tied us, a celestial tether,
We were one, so bound together.
But our love it was sacred dance, a tender rhyme,
Perhaps we will love again when creation says it’s time.
(Verse 2) As constellations whisper tales untold,
Our story written in stardust, pure and bold.
Yet, for now, we part with hopeful signs
The love we made as a temple...
The universe gave us a love divine.
Guiding paths through the cosmic dance,
We found each other, a fateful chance.
(Chorus) Mother Nature tied us, a celestial tether,
We were one, so bound together.
But our love it was sacred dance, a tender rhyme,
Perhaps we will love again when creation says it’s time.
(Verse 2) As constellations whisper tales untold,
Our story written in stardust, pure and bold.
Yet, for now, we part with hopeful signs
The love we made as a temple...

Morning Song
Morning Song
Verse 1) In the quiet of the morning when the sky begins to glow,
I find pleasure in your laughter, and melodies as they flow.
Your voice, a gentle whisper, like a soothing, summer breeze,
It echoes through my heart and puts my mind at ease.
(Chorus) Oh, your laughter is a symphony that dances in the air,
Your words, they are a serenade, for love beyond compare.
On the canvas of your beauty, I find my favorite view,
In the sanctuary of your love, this time forever true.
(Verse 2) As daylight paints the canvas,...
