I wasn't even searching for Queen or Freddie Mercury today, but this came up just the same. There is talented, super-talented ... and far above all that, there is gifted. I personally define gifted as being born with an extreme and uncanny ability that comes from one's soul.
Had I been searching, I probably would have picked a different song, but you get no argument from me on this one.
Freddie Mercury was absolutely gifted. He is one of music's greatest losses, for he took too much of his legacy with him.
I found this while searching for another document. I wrote it years ago. It was just a thought process that took my mind to a "what if" place one day. I'm not sure it can really be called poetry, but here it is no matter what you call it!
Tell Me...
Why do you only look when you can touch? Why do you imagine when you can experience?
Your thoughts can't touch the softness of my skin or feel how perfectly our lips meet. Your mind will never comprehend the sensation of having me.
You won't experience the fire inside you as I explore you with my tongue, or feel the warmth of my mouth when I ultimately taste you.
How can you feel me reach deep inside your soul to accept who you really are?
I share your curiosity and desire to explore, but you'll never smile at how playful I am or love how much fun life can be...
Why do you imagine when you can experience? Why do you only look when you can touch?
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my bestest And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing We're just one big family And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm sure There's no need to complicate, our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours
D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do But do you want to come on Scooch on over closer dear And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer But my breath fogged up the glass And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm yours
Come on and open up your mind and see like me (I won't hesitate) Open up your plans and damn you're free (No more, no more) Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours (It cannot wait, I'm sure)
So please don't, there's no need (There's no need to complicate) There's no need to complicate (Our time is short) 'Cause our time is short (This is our fate) This is, this is, this is our fate I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours Oh, I'm yours Oh, whoa, baby you believe I'm yours You best believe, best believe I'm yours
Rainbow Connection
Why are there so many Songs about Rainbows And whats on the other side Rainbows are visions but only Illusions Rainbows have nothing to hide
Whats so amazing That it keeps us star gazing And what do they think we might see Oh, someday we'll find it The Rainbow Connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me
Have you been half asleep And have you heard the voices Well, I've heard them calling my name Is this the sweet sound That calls the young sailors The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many, many, many times to ignore it Oh, I think it may be Oh, someday we'll find it The Rainbow Connection The lovers, the dreamers and me
