So it’s been Concert Weekend and I kind of fell off the face of the Earth. Poeming shall resume tomorrow in multitude to replace the missing days. But for now, we have this:
I’m not sure this band even exists anymore and the more I listen to it, the more mixed the feelings I have about this song, but if I take myself out of this it’s a good song, though apparently highly underrated.
Another video with rain in it.
“The Score
By Maggie McGinity
Give us some time
Or give us some room
We don’t know the lines
And we’re going on soon
One measly credit
Should almost subsist
Not demand
Every hour like this
Only one thing
Oh just one thing more
Till they’ve taken everything
Every second in your store
Twelve sounded good
Now I realized I’ve misunderstood
I wouldn’t recommend four
Plus one-two more
You don’t know the score”
Quote:
“Now it’s just too late and
We can’t go back
I’m sorry
I can’t be perfect”
-“Perfect” by Simple Plan
A very important day on which I realized I actually needed to assemble a present, though at least I was present.
“Summer Day
By Maggie McGinity
Summer day
Almost yesterday
Now it’s gone away
Darkening the skies
Walked this way
Into this cafe
Comfortable on time
Here and now to find
Everyday this rhyme, my
Someday, after all that time
And it’s nice, a chunk of
Reality where
Everything’s in line
Made up presto, looked up pesto
And nothing else
Down and up the stairs and ramps
Every little step helps
Four times, the root beers
Over hopes and dreams and fears
Reverence, rememberance and dears
Silence can speak volumes, but
Hearing you
Answered many curiosities
Ringing through my philosophies.
I’m glad for 1 p.m.
Now and again
Getting to talk with my best friend.”
Quote:
“Two sips of whiskey in the flask but I’m not gonna drink ’em
I swear I’ll make it last
Til we’re drinking out of the same glass again
And though the sand may be washed by the sea
And the old will be lost in the new
Well four will not wait for three
For three never waited for two
And though you will not wait for me
I’ll wait for you”
-“Patient Love” by Passenger
“I’ll get it if you need it,
I’ll search if you don’t see it,
You’re thirsty, I’ll be rain,
You get hurt, I’ll take your pain.”
I actually really like this music video. And there’s so much rain in it. So on theme.
“Tired
By Maggie McGinity
Told me to write another rhyme
I told him that I’m tired
Red and bloodshot are my
Eyes, and really it’s no surprise
Dead and gone, the free time has expired”
Quote:
“A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.”
-“The Use of Life” by John Lubbock
“Limbo
By Maggie McGinity
Should I be relieved?
Should I be disappointed?
Did I ever believe
I’d ever be appointed?
Limbo
Could suit me quite well for awhile
But it doesn’t go
With our usual style
I’m starting to fantasize about leaving
Taking all my things
They wouldn’t miss me
But the structure I bring
I’m starting to dream about running away
But away isn’t where I want to stay
No, not far away
It might be easier if I were a stray
But I’m not
At the strangest time
Every I wanted, I got
I’d like to walk and talk along new streets
But I don’t know where on Earth we could meet
Although limbo
Could suit me quite well for awhile
It doesn’t go
With our usual style
I’m scared that I’ve done the math wrong
And I’m scared of my own siren song
I’m scared misguided loyalty
Will take me away from me
I’m scared of connections I leave behind
I’m scared of notes and I’m scared of rhymes
I just want to be gone, I just want to be free
I just want you there with me”

-“The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak
“And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
You’re my survival, you’re my living proof.
My love is alive and not dead.”
While 6 is my lucky number, 7 is also a lucky number, and it’s the 20th 🙂
Because really, this has to be included in this theme.
