Natural Intent

Aloha,

                 This photo was shot a few feet from the ocean in Waikiki. Here is a good example of structure. The crane is building a structure according to the vision of architects. We usually don't view the world through nature's eyes, but the way we want to structure it.

                 Writers structure their world through "storytelling." Let's ponder this idea as we write today. 

          Enjoy!

                   Purity of Quest

Surprise a friend then overwhelm

With aspirations to higher realm

What it means others take in jest

This serious business your purity of quest

In your mind you stand nth degree

One who says please thank you pardon me

Clarity in life paints a future that's best

One of principle purity of quest

Up ahead bright shiny city on a hill

Opportunities approach no time to stand still

Fax in your future be the all the best

One of principle purity of quest

                    Commitment

It's not so hard to find a side gal or guy

A cool look there in the eyes

Take first steps, quick off the ball

Sincerely summoned commitment call

Good with hands but delivers no blow

Recognizable face easy to know

Hasten to you with a chomp at the bit

Accelerate through then orally commit

A little selfish in a good kind of way

A work of art shown up every day

Run fast to restrict demeaning skit

Gentle to your face orally commit

Turn down offers of another's love

No fear of any below or above

Lights up easy likes to get lit

That special someone orally commit

Blue Shelter

Aloha,

                 Here is a morning photo. There was a lot of activity around the harbor that morning. I managed to find a "calm spot." Writers also need a calm place they go to write. This photo may help you do that.    Enjoy!

                                    Let's Just Dare

We got a ghost of a chance, to make the most of this dance

Should we have a romance? For you I really care

Our love is here to stay, who could have prayed for this day

Should they find us this way? Why not let's just dare

Don't stop Go fast Get up Make it last

Let's drop, every woe of the past

Let's just dare

There is woo in your eye, you are who I realized

Is love a roll of the dice? My heart, is yours my dear

Can this really be, so beautiful you are to me

Should we hold each other tight? Why not let's just dare

   Milestone Mania

Applaud the milestone

 Cheer it on

Be a Santa in a child's home

Sing the praise sing the song

Applaud the milestone, it won't soon be beat

A stand alone out in the heat

Applaud the milestone let it stand

Until it's ripped by another hand

Witness the feat the possibility

The force of will, natural ability

Sit at the feet of wonderment

It's no wonder everyone went

Applaud that milestone cheer it on

As somebody new sings their song

No hanging heads in bereavement here

No lamentation in the wonder of cheer

Environmental Conscience

Aloha,

   

     This  photo was shot at about 8 in the morning on Waikiki Beach. There are no obvious signs of life, but if you look closely, you may see some. The sky and water are blue because their oxygen refracts sunlight at the blue wavelength. Although we can't see the sun or the oxygen, we can sense its result by the presence of blue. The clouds are white because they hold water, which refracts all colors of sunlight. This photo "implies" the presence of life. 

     This idea is also true in lyric writing. Writers concoct images, offer a sense of story, and deliver emotion with simple words. We don't "see" all the ingredients, but we can sense the "life" of the story.                                  Enjoy!

           Tell Your Story

Learn the language, learn it well

Oh! the stories you will tell

Don't you worry, don't be shy

Your life may end, but you won't die

Learn the language!

Learn the language, learn it well

Tell your story and tell it well

Burn your anguish, it may sell

Learn the language, learn it well

Learn the Language!

Strip to essential, plot your plot

Get a hook make a book,why not

Chart a few memorable lines

You're the one who makes it shine

Learn the language!

                That What You Want?

You left it there, that ringing in my head

Do you care? Am I better off dead?

Thought I bought it then I heard a cheer

Really got me how you took me there 

You sing your jaunt with a stinging taunt

You ring this haunt and spring your daunt

That what you want?

There you go, singing for praise

With eyebrows raised, all the craze

Sing your song, they sing along

Your little jaunt in the places you haunt

Get out there don't beware 

They may care, anybody there?

Your sound is what they really want 

A little jaunt with a stinging taunt. 

Go out there!

Dreams of Blue

Aloha,

Here are 3 examples of different genres in lyric writing 

for your song. 

Enjoy!

Genre: eFuture Poetry

Flash Bolero

Above the rising sea below the canopy

We seek the safety of our sentiment

Nature drums and motherhood comes

To rise above the sediment

Savage bang an ocean rang

Came the dance of the flash bolero

Fire words hearts stirred 

The dark horse of twilight ground zero

Dreams of blue the beauty of green too

Inspire in the cold and the dark

Muses merge museums emerge

Still the darkhorse of twilight sought its mark

A new canopy the blue sky would be

Above the dance of the flash bolero 

Below raging swells a calm ocean will dwell

Here motherhood awaits her hero

Genre: Blues 

                         What Happens Next

You warm your mind, as her heart grows cold,  

then worry grabs hold, down to your soul

A wise man will tell you, get it out of your head,  

sorry is a word that can end you' up dead

What's your hurry baby? Please tell me, or send me a text

Won't you tell me now baby, What Happens Next?

You manage your way. You say, " Come what may!"

But you can't stop the day, got dues to pay

day in and day out can't you can hear my heart shout?

There's got to be some, kind of way out..

Jimi and Dylan would shout, would say,  

Hey, What Happens Next?

What is going, to happen next?

Somebody tell me or send me a text

Baby won't you please,  don't stack the deck  

Just tell me honey, What Happens Next?

You say step up, drink from the cup, 

then talk to me like some kind of pup

You tell me remember, then you forget.  

Won't somebody tell me, What Happens Next?

Genre: Jazz Swing

                           Hunger the Night

You characterize, so strong

Up to the moment of your momentous little song

You guy wire your tension

Did I mention? This guy is wired for you?

You lead me through. Or is this just

Another little journey to find you, yourself, and you?

I gladly follow with no disguise, baby it's you, you..

Hot wire me wise

Intrigued, never fatigued, surely you must know

When you invite me, excite me, the exits are closed

So close you are, bringing that feeling of home from afar

Can I ride in your car in overdrive? It's true you hot wire me wise

The way I feel when you say you deal right from the heart

It's like we were, when we were right from the start

When we were younger we'd hunger the night, and listen to its cries

Then you would, hot wire me wise

You bring your story, on a stage of glory

In motion, with that look in your eyes, no one denies

Baby it you. You hot wire me wise
