I'm sailin high going out of my head, You set my heart free, I'm back with you gettin it on again, I love those old dreams, I'm goin crazy cause you're pullin with me, My heart's on fire I can't even sleep. When I'm with yooou, I can't get over what you do....to me. Chorus You make me over and you set the mood, Respect is easy when it comes from two. You'll never need any other hope I'll keep your heart and spirit whole And if you're inspired or if you're in pain, In the sunshine or in the rain I'll be your guiding flame. When I'm with you I'm feelin ten feet tall, There's fire inside me, I reach out to touch you and I recall, Familiar old scenes. I just can't help it so I give you my heart, I can't be anywhere but here in your arms, When I need yooou, I can't get over what you do......to me. Chorus You make me over and you set the mood, Respect is easy when it comes from two, You'll never need any other hope I'll keep your heart and spirit whole And if you're inspired or if you're in pain, In the sunshine or in the rain. I'll be your guiding flame. The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to re-language historie [This message has been edited by ethome (07-07-2002 08:16 AM).] |

 (smiles) Awwwwwww, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I feel many have misunderstood the meaning of love nowadays, but your heart shines with the purity and compassion of it which makes love magical! (big hugggsssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

It's a good thing you didn't put the sheet music to this one up or I might have butchered it trying to play it on my guitar. LOL Very lovely song of passion and I can almost hear you singing it as I read it. You definitely have a talent worth it's weight and you never let us down in your continued growth. "2" Thumbs up.  |

This poem actually sings itself, Eric. I really love the chorus part. Do you actually perform any of your poems as songs?  ~ musical hugsLyra |
