Fever

.

Fever

Only rain is falling

Allaxokairia

Only love remains

.

At the edge of the horizon

Sikinos

The Joy of life

Beehives

.

The secret of the rocks

Vale de Lua

Amorgos Passage

Don't say I regret

Scotland calling me again today… with this Northern- Irish band formed in bonnie Dundee.

S is for Snow Patrol

.

Somewhere a clock is ticking

A dark switch

A youth written in fire

Black and blue

But I’ll keep trying

Crack the shutters

Chased by… I don’t know what

Daybreak

Dead skin

Even touching Dundee

Everything’s here and nothing’s lost

Favourite friend

Firelight

Gleaming auction

Grazed knees

Hands open

Heal me

I think of home

I could stay away forever

⌛️

Just say yes

Last shot ringing in my ears

Life and death

Making enemies

Made of something different now

Never really tire

Never gonna fall in love

On the edge of all this

Open your eyes

Perfect secret

Please just take these photos from my hands

Reaching out to you

Reading Heaney to me

Shut your eyes

Set down your glass

This is the sound of your voice

This isn’t everything you are

What’s left in the light

Whatever’s left

Years that fall

You’re all I have

⌛️

Daybreak

Dead skin"

I was obsessed with Snow Patrol back in the noughties, they played every big festival. This poem makes me want to go read all their lyrics (which I won't do cos I'm too lazy!)

Ha ha! I hope then I have served you up the lyric menu to slake your thirst without you having to lift a finger! Loved them too. “Heal me” is one of my go to feel better tunes. But the early 2000s tracks are the best in my humble opinion.

Mr writer

Could you be the one?

Do ya feel my love?

We share the same sun

The first time I ever saw your face

Crush

Forever

In a moment

You're my star

Rainbows and pots of gold

Caught by the wind

Nothing compares 2 u

You are my energy

Don't let the devil take another day

All I have is you

Oooh! "Don't let the devil take another day" is the line that hits home. This is very vulnerable and tender as if the narrator exposes tender feelings. "Caught up in the wind

Nothing compares 2 u" you're on a roll Lisa!

S is for Suzi Quattro

Cat size

Mind demons

Little bitch blue

In the morning, she’s in love with you

Friday, Hit the road Jack

I wanna be free

Sticks and stones

Four letter words

Brain confusion for the lonely people

Skin tight skin

Shakin’ all over

Glycerine Queen

Rock hard

Hard headed woman

Ego in the night

Damage, scars, overload

Tear me apart

Wasted moments

I’ll walk through the fire with you

If ever there was a reason

No choice

Sometimes love is lettin’ go

Whatever love is

Don’t break my heart

Back to the drive

Devil’s gate drive

Ain’t got no home

Cat sized

Mind demons

Little bitch blue

The wild one

Savage silk

Hurt with you

DREAM BABY DREAM - Suicide (the band)

Keep your dreams

Frankie Teardrop

Wild in blue

Rain of ruin

I dont know

Flashy love

Diamond, fur coat,

champagne

Speed queen

Hot ticket

Too fine for you

See you around

Decided to do a second one

Johnny Clegg and Savuka

Cruel crazy beautiful world

It's an illusion

Dance across the centuries

Jericho

Warsaw 1943

Berlin wall

Bombs away

The promise

Your time will come

The waiting

Inevitable consequence of progress

When the system has fallen

Talk to the people

Orphans of the empire

Scatterlings of Africa

Third world child

These days

Are you ready?

What a perfect opening couplet, an illusion for sure, that's why I hide out in poetry-land.

Stephen Stills

sit yourself down

right now

sit down i think i love you

everybody i love you

love the one you're with

isn't it about time

nothing to do but today

might as well have a good time

move around

change partners

carry on

see the changes

for what it's worth

questions

pretty girl why

jesus gave love away for free

baby don't scold me

sugar babe

know you got to run

hot dusty roads

how far

four days gone

it doesn't matter

so begins the task

"the joy of life beehives" love that! I've been popping in and out this May. I love the wild array of music artists I've discovered through all your poems.
