if i were a tree in your garden i'd be beside angels in statue
gnomes in cement hard and true
i'd maybe be a bush too
maybe a sunbeam could help me grow
i'd smile as you sit under where i am tall
where my colors are floral
i'd be with you and we'd be with green and brightness

maybe you could read resting with me above and around you
together we'd listen to silence
then get birds a goin
we'd have many chirps, many songs of feathered friends
maybe we'd have fruit
perhaps berries and rain water washing dust away

we could have poems feeding us as if meals from creative winds
you'd write away the day
i'd be smiling and you'd never know it
even with circled winds tracing your words
for me to memorize your true heart as if my woman

i'd be a tree in your sanctuary
something like love and a painting
we'd be left and right like hummingbirds at feeding our mouths theirs first
then honeybees to buzz baby blue from low very low lucky clouds
gliding just above our eyelids closed
you the most relaxed
i'd just be runnin perfectly still like trees do
like peaceful bushes do

then the night
i'm alone you're away
i'll wait out here with my moon
with my night owls
with my nighttime clovers and silver shivers
these will be bunny rabbits and youth
this is truth
all but dreaming woman nearby
until tomorrow with your books, pens and paper
then again to you my shade having you
because you love trees

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."

    I really like this paragraph


    you'd write away the day
    i'd be smiling and you'd never know it
    even with circled winds tracing your words
    for me to memorize your true heart as if my woman

    because people are stupid as shit, yes/no? this of course includes self. doesn't the world's people make poetry writers famous/popular after the poet's death? most book publishers don't even mess with poetry is what i am told and most people don't even read poetry from what i understand.

    thank you, rollings. thank you very much.

    it's a fact, Elvis had the golden voice and a tallent for intertainment (understatement) but his songs were written by the likes of "Big Momma Thorton" (hound dog) and other blues artist and as his career took off he had guys like "Chadwick" writing for him, his manager along with others in his employ would offer to buy songs from other artist..they even tryed to by a song from "Dolly Parton" I think it was "coat of many collors"...not sure on the song tho but yes look into it it's some cool rock n roll history.

    I looked this up. Godfather.



    Elvis wrote none of his songs although he is in the songwriting credits for 9 songs ..none of which he actually helped write
    Well actually saying he wrote none of his songs is a factual lie. If you have ever heard of a song called something like train ride, he wrote that whilst he was still at school so he did at least write one song!!!


    No he didn't - despite the fact his name appears on a number of songs as co-writer. This was down to Elvis' manager Col Parker wangling extra money for his client (or rather himself) by telling songwriters that Elvis would record their song in exchange for a shared writers credit. The writers would often agree as an Elvis recording of their song (even with split royalties) would get them far more money than if some other singer recorded it

    He wrote 'Old Shep' as he had a dog called 'Shep' who died.

    Red Foley and Arthur Willis wrote Old Shep not Elvis Presley! He never even had a dog named Shep

    People WILL read again! Everything comes around and history always repeats itself. One day the "beautiful" women of the world will be the "healthy" ones we saw in those history book paintings. Our great grandkiddies will scoff at the current obsession w/ youth. The indepenant leaders will traverse the parties as they sink their own tar feathered filled ships.

    .......that was great by the way.
