EXCERPT:
S T A I R C A S E
I saw red while you held my hand
on that hill in a castle of sand
being nice, coming out of the blue
you were losing me, undeniably true
I was just another trophy for your shelf
overloaded by the further rusty twelve
Dissociating from this charming place
you are a mess inside, I know it’s the case
this romance had better leave no trace
but at sunset we sat here on the staircase
THE HIGHER THE STAIRCASE, THE CLEARER THE VIEW.

Thank you for featuring WORDS TO THINK. OR TO SING. today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Sounds like a good poetry book.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words, Marcy! If you're into emotional Pop Music, artistic journeys, and accessible, minimalistic modern poetry-like verses, it could really be something for you. Right now it's words and insights, but soon it'll be also songs to stream. And if you read the book, you'll even know some of the lyrics already – a huge advantage for singing along out loud! :)
DeleteDear Books1987,
ReplyDeleteIt's truly a pleasure to be here today. Thank you so much for having me! I'm excited for your community to experience 'Words to Think or to Sing,' a collection of lyrics excerpts from pop songs in progress. This project turns the traditional music release model upside down, inviting you to witness and join the creation process. The verses have a modern poetry vibe, touching on self-reflection, growth, and relationships. They're paired with insights about their meanings and emotions, and even offer space for your own thoughts or interaction. I hope you'll enjoy this developing, emotional, multifaceted concept.
United in Intensity,
Intensia
This sounds fascinating! Love the cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pippirose! I'm so glad the cover resonates with you. I aimed for a minimalistic and neat design with a touch of motion from the colorful, unsorted music notes, to subtly highlight the many nuances of the tuneful messages in progress within.
DeleteIf you enjoy emotional pop music and accessible, modern poetry, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the inside too and soon on the songs arising from it :)
Sounds like a great read.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sherry! Since it's a book of poetic lyrics excerpts from pop songs in progress, you're spot on, it will definitely “sound” one day! :-D
DeleteIf you enjoy emotional pop music and the idea of being part of an artistic journey as it unfolds (rather than just experiencing the final products as usual), I'd be thrilled to have you join in. Wishing you a good read if you go for it!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Michael! If you’re into modern, minimalistic and accessible poetry-like lines (verses that carry secret melodies for now), I’d truly love to hear your thoughts. The book is a collection of lyric excerpts from my songs in progress, which will be completed and released one by one over the years. If you enjoy artistic journeys, emotional pop music, and reflective or inspirational reads, I hope you’ll give it a go. It would be wonderful to have you as part of this creative unfolding adventure. And maybe one day we can sing some of your favorite lines together :)
