Whenever my arms start waving
Before I start ranting and raving
Hubby hops in the car, but doesn’t go far
Cause he knows it’s the sign of a craving

The munchies have struck me, oh my
Better hope you’re not standing nearby
See, I grab what is here, without any fear
Stress gets the best of me, sigh

My limit has now been exceeded
My doctor’s orders, unheeded
I crunch and I munch, shove in a bunch
These chips were just what I needed

My lantern, a light
Through a cold lonely night
Feeling the numbness
Surrounding

Storm clouds clear
As my love draws near
And the ocean churns
Abounding

My body and soul
Now becomes whole
My heart beat will guide you
Pounding

For the waters between
And visions foreseen
Speak to our passions
Resounding

Night settles over, like a vaporous gloom

Envelopes my soul, in a darkening tomb

Looking ahead, I seek out the light

The only one promising, to bring me through night

Skies part the way, not a moment too soon

All at once I am swallowed, by a heavenly moon

As day comes to an end, and the sun bids adieu

The eventide wraps me, in its ebony hue

The last of the leaves fall

Like a swirling tornado, they fly

How I long to be one of them

Adam Lambert, Billy joel, Billy Squier, Bruno Mars, Doobie Brothers, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, music monday, Nena, pink, Simon & Garfunkel, Styx, tag, The Phil Factor, youtube

Thanks to Phil Taylor of The Phil Factor for tagging me!  This sounds like fun   🙂

The rules are simple. Answer the questions, tag the person that tagged you (www.dorindaduclos.com) and tag some friends to answer! Simple, huh?

I tend to be nostalgic and prefer to listen to older songs.  Today’s music doesn’t necessarily appeal to me, except for some that actually sound like music.

And here are my choices:

A song that reminds me of home: You’re My Home – Billy Joel

Five songs that are must-haves for a road trip:

  • The  Stroke – Billy Squier
  • Renegade ~ Styx
  • Listen to the Music – Doobie Brothers
  • Uptown Funk – Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars
  • Get the Party Started – Pink

A song that inspires me: The Sound of Silence – Simon and Garfunkel

A song that puts me in a good mood: Sing – Ed Sheeran

A song I know all the words to: Every Billy Joel song  🙂

A song that annoys me: Anything, and I mean anything, by Taylor Swift!!

A song I used to like but don’t anymore: 99 Red Balloons – Nena

A song I thrashed: No idea

A song I like to play loud: Demons – Imagine Dragons

A song that makes me want to dance: For Your Entertainment ~ Adam Lambert

 

I tag the following people (you’re under no obligation), but if you’re so inclined, please do play along.  I’d love to hear what inspires you.

Michelle Cook (Her Writing Haven)

Erika Kind

Chuck (the reluctant poet)

Walt Page (Walt’s Writings)

Morgan (BookNVolume)
