In the run up to the 14th February - Valentines's Day - I thought I'd post a few of my love poems lyrics (new ones).
You Melted into My Heart (Te amo demais, querida)
In The Final Moment
Happy Happy Valentines'
Don't Love anyone but You
So here they are scroll down to read and enjoy:-
Have a great day on the 14th,
Best wishes, Louis :-)
You Melted into My Heart
(Te amo demais, querida)
You crept upon my chest and melted into my heart
Like a Kitten with your soft endearing cries.
Now I get home every day
to your notes left through my door
just passing, so you left them for my lover’s eyes.
It was in the snowy winter, as you came into my house.
I joked that you were some snow woodpecker,
as you knocked the slush off your boots.
Little then did I know that we were fixed
together to go far.
Its in the smallest moments shared
we’re laying down deep roots.
Now you’re snuggling like a cat
Breaths like gentle purrs
In the night I’ll sometimes wake and then recall
How sometimes the love we get isn’t planned
or shaped to be.
Some things unexpected turn out
to be best of all.
You crept upon my chest and melted into my heart
Like a Kitten with your soft endearing cries.
Now I get home every day
to you opening my door
just loving, for us both time flies.

In The Final Moment
In this final moment
Watching you walk away
I recall all the love and power
We shared in yesterday.
Regrets welling up to the pricking tears
Soon to reach my face.
What if others notice?
Witnessing to beauty lost
Means no disgrace.
In the final footsteps
Reaching down the street.
Comfort lies in thoughts
That while others loved
We were brief yet
Sweetly complete.
In those final words
Heard with pause for silent regrets
I’ll after soothe the loss in moments thinking
Those who’ve never loved live lives
As mere moving silhouettes.
Love has us all as puppets
With joys as random guests.

Happy Happy Valentines’
As I held you in my arms
sweetly surrounded by your charms.
I’m getting those feelings they wrote of
in verses and Solomon’s psalms.
In my eye’s are love’s signs.
But since you haven’t guessed yet
I’ll say it out loud you bet
darling happy, happy Valentines’.
Sent roses fourteen to your door
just a few for now, then I’ll send more.
With notes and candy in baskets,
so you know for certain the score.
But maybe in case, you think it’s all lines.
I’ll say it out loud you bet
darling happy, happy Valentines’.
Bought jewels from London, sparkles from Cartier,
But what use are jewels if love and the heart isn’t there?
You can’t buy some love with a chequebook
so don’t try it, for you’ll despair.
For jewels ain’t so dandy, without words love declines
So I’ll say it out loud you bet
darling happy, happy Valentines’.
Happy, happy Valentines’!

Don’t Love Anyone but You
Some say I love music
Can play a tune or two
Some say notes delight me
Whether Jazz or Blues
People have opinions
Freely given out
Only I know if it’s true
Certain without doubt
I don’t love any one,
Don’t love anyone but you.
Stick to this, you’ll never miss,
All the love I have for you.
Some say I love writing lines
Can pen poems anytime
Some say verse delights me
Whether free or rhymes
People getting notions
Sharing with their friends
Only I know exactly
Which way the river bends
I don’t love any one,
Don’t love anyone but you.
Stick to this, you’ll never miss,
All the love I have for you.

Dialect, is it valid in poetry or lyrics? Cable Blues - The Versions. Gospel Piano DVD by Noval Smith
Looking at the Project H website, musicians working together,thank you Chris Hill,
the following lyrics "popped" out onto the paper. Is this authentic? Probably not, but I'm simply trying to get the feel of the rhythm, style here as far as I can. Dialect words were used by Rabby Burns and in popular folk songs etc, so if done respectfully then it's OK. Dialect is really a local language. Here's a taste.(xtract)...
Perfec’ Love
I’m talkin now 'bout perfec’ love,
the kind that tingles and lasts.
No overnight or a brief affair,
like a fisherman, back he casts.
I’s always seekin a perfec’ love
alway kind that smarts yet smooth
You gi me that in special way
ev’ry day ev’ry night you prove.
You gi me that in special way
ev’ry day ev’ry night you prove.
Mi friend you can lose, lose your perfec’ love
by no paying attention.
So gi her kisses an hugs an smiles and rings,
that’s the way to ensure retention.
So gi her kisses an hugs an smiles and rings,
that’s the way to ensure retention....
There is Something
There is something about the ways you have
keeps leading, leading me through.
There is something about the days we share
keeps leading, leading us two.
There is something about the love you give
keeps leaving, leaving me wanting more.
There is something about your face my love
keeps me looking, looking over and o’er.
Just that something,
yeah, just that something.
You’re giving, I keep living,
on for more and more.
Just that something,
yeah, just that something.
Come now sweetness,
taste completeness,
more and more...
Cable Blues - The Versions
Nick Westgarth, connected to the Carlisle Blues Festival, (also the Maryport Blues Festival?)
NB: 2010 Festival site, http://www.carlislebluesfestival.com/
2011 Festival site, http://www.maryportblues.co.uk/
had some probs with his mobile (cell) lately, so I wrote some lyrics with him in mind. Later his partner requested a "response" one - like they used to do way back (I'm recalling now a Country & Western Classic "Dear John", followed by the girls reponse track "Dear John I Don't Love you)
Here's a taste of them both (xtracts)...
Phone Cable Guy Blues
Seems my phone and cell are fine
No problems with the line
All the techno’s fine and crystal clear.
In spite of repeated calls
My cable guy never comes to fix, just stalls.
Well at least If you don’t arrive
You can’t then down tools, quit and disappear.
Phone cable guy Blues
No matter which service provider you choose
One thing sticks to them all that’s clear.
They say they’ll be with you Tuesday
I’m uncertain of the year...
Phone Cable Gal Blues
My cell and phone are fine
Keeps getting better like vintage wine
With Cable Gal, I’ve no reasons for worry or fear.
For she’ll come before I call
It’s like mystic powers
Some supernatural recall.
She knows just what and how before its clear.
Phone cable gal Blues
No matter what the problem is you can’t lose
So worry no more.
Before the cable crashes,
She’s driving through the rain and splashes
To my door...
Gospel Piano by Ear
