Colors

by Diana Mary Sharpton

Alone but not lonely, colors this soul

A complicated two-sided dirt road...

Mud pits wear on a passionate touch...

An emotional ruler... as such

Yet happiness still resides...

As self simplifies...

It's Wednesday afternoon and I am reaching for a slow deeply passionate groove that compliments the theme of my poem titled "Colors".

This brilliant singer-songwriter with a god given gift to sing and vocal range that few people can claim; yes, we are talking about none other than Adele. She is from Tottenham, Greater London, England and "Easy on Me"(2) is the featured song which was written by Adkins/Greg Kurstin. It is the lead single on her newly released album titled “30”.

Adele release this single on October 15, 2021. It is considered a Pop genre and it is highly recommend. It is all just perfect! The video, directed by Xavier Dolan, brings an authentic feel to being an everyday woman going through relationship issues. It was uploaded on YOUTUBE, Oct 14, 2021 by Adele.

I have listed the lyrics below for your reading pleasure.

"Easy on Me"(3)

There ain’t no gold

In this river

That I’ve been washing my hands in forever

I know there is hope

In these waters

But I can’t bring myself to swim

When I am drowning

In this silence baby let me in

Go easy on me baby

I was still a child

Didn’t get the chance to

Feel the world around me

I had no time to choose

What I chose to do

So go easy on me

There ain’t no room

For things to change

When we are both so deeply

Stuck in our ways

You can’t deny how hard I have tried

I changed who I was

To put you both first

But now I give up

I had good intentions

And the highest hopes

But I know right now

It probably doesn’t even show

Vanlose Stairway by #VanMorrison #SendingLove #MusicVideo #DianaMarySharpton #FoggyStairway #ComesBack #Photography #Poety

Introduction:
Stairway in Fog - Oahu b (c) DianaMarySharpton

“I know what I have given you...

I do not know what you have received.”

― Antonio Porchiai

Morning Fog

by Diana Mary Sharpton

A lazy autumn morning fog, laden in sizable droplets sustain,

and hover a foot above an inner city’s rustic terrain.

it envelops a wary traveler treading gingerly past a rocky laden ditch,

as distant vibrations echo direction; a piano bar strums reaching a vibrant pitch.

He ponders; eyes closed, intakes a deeply earthen breath,

listening, engulfed in genuine joy, not for logic, life, or death,

it’s the taste of harmonious sound, consumed in each beat,

frozen within steam; churning into a clamorous molten heap.

It’s the heart that’s not understood; the mind that’s not spoken,

It’s the secret you hate; as his soul bleeds from acts seized as a token.

Can you really preach choice that’s not yours to say?

Or even determine another’s path into a most suitable way?

Are you a Deity that sees through the wall of internal lies?

Or is it merely you egotistical slant filled with honey coated flies?

As an ice-cold droplet lands on his shut eye lid; in a sudden chilly slash,

and needles jab his body; moments of joy fade in an instant flash.

He is neither thinking, feeling or making choices on the journey ahead,

for the music continues resounding as echoes in his head.

Synchronously, the composition vanishes; a flight continues as he quietly walks on,

He’s not probing for resonance or elation conveyed in her special song.

No, the truth is paved with each step he possessed,

Along a path worn by shoes leading to her place, he must confess!

Accompanied by "Van Morrison - Vanlose Stairway
" and the lyrics are listed below for your reading pleasure.

"Van Morrison - Vanlose Stairway"

Send me your picture

Send me your pillow

Send it through Krishna

On the Vanlose stairway

Send me your Bible

(Send me) Send me your guitar (Send me)

I want to reach you

On the Vanlose stairway (On the Vanlose stairway)

And your stairway

Reaches up to the moon

And it comes right back

It comes right back to you

Send me some loving, child

(Send me) Send me some kissing, yeah

(Send me) You know what I'm missing

On the Vanlose stairway (Stairway)

On the Vanlose stairway

"Right there, hold it now, hold it there"

"Mmmm"

And your stairway

Reaches up to the moon

And it comes right back

And it comes right back to you

Send me your Bible, child

(Send) Ohw, send me your guitar, yeah

"Feels Like Rain" by Buddy Guy #MusicVideo #DianaMarySharpton #RainyDays #To Know You #WhoUR

Introduction

“Maybe that’s how we know when a relationship is real. When someone else previously unconnected to us knows us in a way we never thought or believed possible.”

― Iain Reid

The song being featured today is titled "Feels Like Rain"(2) which is brilliantly sung and presented by the extraordinarily talented Lettsworth, LA singer, songwriter and record producer, Buddy Guy.

I find this song to be about the changing tides in a relationship. There is tenderness, emotion, feverish passion and with time the story of friendship and potential for love. "Feels Like Rain" is the 3rd track on Buddy's eight studio album with no title and was released March 9, 1993. The genre is considered blues.

I love this song and sound! Come check it out!

The video published on Dec 19, 2009, by GoinToSleepBIATCH on YouTube.

I have listed the lyrics below to this enchanting music for your reading pleasure.

"Feels Like Rain"(3)

by Buddy Guy

Down here the river

Meets the sea

And in the sticky heat I feel ya'

Open up to me

Love comes out of nowhere baby, just like a hurricane

And it feels like rain

Lying here

Underneath the stars

Right next to you

And I'm wondering who you are

And how do you do?

How do you do, baby?

The clouds roll in

Across the moon

And the wind howls out your name

And it feels like rain

We never

Going to make that bridge tonight, baby

Across lake Ponchartrain

And it feels like rain

So batten down the hatch, baby

And leave your heart up your sleeve

It looks like we're in for stormy weather

That ain't no cause for us to leave

Just lay here

In my arms

Let it wash away the pain

And it feels like rain

(you know it feels

Like rain) (oh yeah) (sometimes, but it feels like rain)

#MarenMorris "The Bones" #TexasSinger #Wins #MusicVideo #DianaMarySharpton #IChooseLov #Friendship #GoodBones

Introduction

Maren Morris ~ Instagram

“By now you know: I come from another planet. But I will never say to you, "Take me to your leaders." Even I--unused to your ways though I am--would never make that mistake. We ourselves have such beings among us, made of cogs, pieces of paper, small disks of shiny metal, scraps of colored cloth. I do not need to encounter more of them.

Instead I will say, "Take me to your trees. Take me to your breakfasts, your sunsets, your bad dreams, your shoes, your nouns. Take me to your fingers; take me to your deaths."

These are worth it. These are what I have come for.”

― Margaret Atwood, Good Bones

The song being featured today is titled "The Bones are Good"(2) which is brilliantly presented by a gorgeous and talented Texas singer, songwriter and record producer, Maren Morris.

I find this song to be about the changing tides in a relationship. There is tenderness, emotion, feverish passion and with time the story of friendship and cherished love. "The Bones" is the 12th track on Maren's second studio album titled "Girl" released March 8, 2019. The genre is considered country, pop and R&B.

Maren Morris is from Arlington, Texas and brand new to me. I love her song and sound!!!. Come check it out.

"The Bones are Good"(3)

by Morris, Robbins, & Veltz

We're in the homestretch of the high times

We took a hard left

But we're alright

Yeah, life sure can try to put love through it, but

We built this right, so nothing's ever gonna move it

When the bones are good, the rest don't matter

Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter

Let it break 'cause you and I remain the same

When there ain't a crack in the foundation

Baby, I know any storm we're facing

Will blow right over while we stay put

The house don't fall when the bones are good

Call it dumb luck, but baby, you and I

Can't even mess it up although we both try

No, it don't always go the way we planned it

But the wolves came and went and we're still standing

When the bones are good, the rest don't matter

Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter

Let it break 'cause you and I remain the same

When there ain't a crack in the foundation

Baby, I know any storm we're facing

Will blow right over while we stay put

The house don't fall when my bones are good

When the bones are good

Bones are good, the rest, the rest don't matter

(Baby, it don't really matter)

Paint could peel, the glass could shatter

(Oh, the glass, oh, the glass could shatter)

Bones are good, the rest, the rest don't matter (Ooh)

Paint could peel, the glass, the glass could shatter (Yeah)

When the bones are good, the rest don't matter

Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter

Let it break (Let it break, let it break)

'Cause you and I remain the same (Woo)

When there ain't a crack in the foundation (Woo)

Baby, I know any storm we're facing

Will blow right over while we stay put

The house don't fall when the bones are good

Yeah, ooh

"Take It"(3)

by Forest Blakk

Take it

If she gives you her heart

Don't you break it

Let your arms be a place

She feels safe in

She’s the best thing that you'll ever have

She always has trouble

Falling asleep

And she likes to cuddle

While under the sheets

She loves Pop songs,

And dancing, and bad trash TV

There’s still a few other things

She loves love notes and babies,

And likes giving gifts

Has a hard time accepting

A good compliment

She loves her whole family

And all of her friends

So if you're the one she lets in….

Take it

If she gives you her heart

Don't you break it

Let your arms be a place

She feels safe in

She’s the best thing that you'll ever have

She’ll love you

If you love her

On days when

It feels like the whole

World might cave in

Stand side by side

And you’ll make it

She’s the best thing that you'll ever have

She’ll love you,

If you love her like that

He wakes me each morning

By kissin’ my cheeks

And when I look a mess

Says you’re perfect to me

He’s more than my best friend

Forever and then some

And I’d choose him over and over again

So take it

If she gives you her heart

Don't you break it

Let your arms be a place

She feels safe in

She’s the best thing that you'll ever have

She’ll love you

If you love her

On days when

It feels like the whole

World might cave in

Stand side by side

And you’ll make it

She’s the best thing that you'll ever have

She’ll love you

If you love her like that

She’ll love you

If you love her like that

She’ll love you

If you love her

On days when

It feels like the whole

World might cave in

Stand side by side

And you’ll make it

She’s the best thing that you'll ever have

She’ll love you

If you love her like that

"The Promise"(3)

by Secret Garden

Nothing is promised to me and you

Should of known the things you said been right

Forever is such a very long time

We never even had a fight

Don't let no one change your mind

Cause they don't know how much I care

They don't know the things we share unless they're here babe

But since they're not

How can they say I'm not true, oh, oh, oh

If you need a love, I got the love that you need

Ain't no way they can take that from me

And I pray to God that one day they will see

Nothing is promised to me and you

That I will see you another day

Baby nothing's gonna change, yes it is

Said you mean the world to me

And babygirl I keep you first, yeah

Cause that's the kind of love you deserve

And to know I got a love if you need a love, yeah

If you need a love, I got the love that you need

Ain't no way they can take that from me

Nothing is promised to me and you
