Sing to Me Neil is on As first he sings up Then sweeps slow Now deep, and low Love grows In his voice No choice Turn the TV off So I may hear the words Touch Replay Touch soft He says One true love Can turn it all around Can take you to the light Today I will shop For that one red dress Cut up to here… Again and again He asks If he can come Into my heart I welcome him He wails a forgiving Plea Wants to come Back, to win my love, I welcome him He includes everyone In his song …still He sings to me He wants to get Lost in my eyes For a Lifetime I welcome him Perhaps my poem Would have 30 years Of lasting appeal If he sang … just one Have you ever felt lost? Perhaps as a teen? As I did, But not when Neil sings He has aged most gracefully, So can I help it If I wonder what he sees In his mirror if it were In my morning’s light Do I care? {See me smile…} And I wonder Are you man enough …even though I think You are Would you? Could you? Play Neil for me? ~*~ Circa 12/01/2000 Revised 02.16.02 |

Karilea - I am assuming you are talking about Neil Diamond, but I don't think you are listening to that "They're Coming to America" song when you are feeling this way about his music.lol Enjoyed. Dave |

Men like red! Go for it! However, I have my thoughts about "one true love", but will keep them to myself but I loved the concept and the poem, and Neil too.~* Imagination is more important than knowledge *~ |

Auntie Kari hi there, do you know that one of mum’s favourite singers is Neil Diamond, she will love this one. I do know it’s a beautiful piece of writing, and I can hear mum singing now, no you really don’t want to, she cannot sing I think this is lovely a perfectly penned delight, which flows like music, not mum’s music really good writing here   Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |

Sunshine, Oh, I'm looking for something in red. Yes, this is awesome. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Kari darling sister of my heart, IS there anywhere that wretched girl didn’t get to? I see she told you that Neil Diamond is one of my favourite singers, and as for that crack about my singing well really that is just too much. This is an utterly wonderful poem it’s flow is perfect.

oh Captain Sunshine to be such a man as he pure 'tween earth and sea ~*~ "Captain Sunshine, make me drink wine, Make me feel fine when I'm feelin' wrongly down. He don't take much, he don't make much, But ah, to be such a man as he, and walk so pure between the earth and the sea. " Excerpt from "Captain Sunshine" by Neil Diamond Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. [This message has been edited by Interloper (02-27-2002 06:06 PM).] |

Never favored red myself...but the men seem to like it...  Like flies to honey I tell you...  This piece was most interestingly written. Great work, from a sharp mind straight to superb ink Jenn "You are the strength, that keeps me walking- you are the hope that keeps me trusting." |

*shaking head, completely befuddled* *G* I must have slipped into some time warp to have missed so many of your wonderful poems... either that, or it really is time for bifocals. LOL About the time this was written, I got to see Neil in concert... I would gladly have sacrificed the few minutes of sleep I got that night for just one more song... for however long the concert, it's never long enough. *S* |

Ahh yes ... his music stays with you just as much as Gordon's does. Nice to see some of us out there still hold to the ones that pulled the questions of life into one bag and gave us the reasons without having to answer them. Very nice write. |
