Nokre snuttar på poesidagen

I dag er den internasjonale poesidagen, og det må så klart markerast. Dei som tør å leggja ut sin eigen poesi, får gjera det - sjølv lar eg "greater minds" tala for meg i dag, og det er nokre av favorittsongskrivarane mine som får den æra.

MALCOLM MIDDLETON

unrelenting unconfidence
a badge that states "mess"
a lack of bike and gentle sleep
remind me of my total belief in the depth
of my unworthiness


GEORGE HARRISON

little darling
i feel the ice slowly melting
little darling
it seems like years since it's been clear
here comes the sun


JONI MITCHELL

she removes him like a ring
to wash her hands
she only brings him out to show her friends
i wanna free him
secrets and sharing soda
that's how our time began

JON FOREMAN (SWITCHFOOT)

it was a beautiful letdown
when you found me here
yeah, for once in a rare blue moon
i see everything clear
i'll be a beautiful letdown
that's what i'll forever be
and though it may cost my soul
i'll sing for free


GREG BROWN

see the city lights shining
when you're sick you look so tiny
i'm gonna put you in my pocket
go down to where it's warmer
i'm gonna throw you in the ocean
and you will turn into a dolphin


GORDON SUMNER a.k.a. STING

all this time the river flowed
in the falling light of a northern sun
if i had my way i'd take a boat from the river
men go crazy in congregations
but they only get better
one by one


PETER FURLER + PHIL JOEL (NEWSBOYS)

close as a brother
the way we used to be
i'll hold my breath
and i'll wait for you to breathe

Kva dikt/songtekstar/annan poesi likar du?

Hans sa...

And you run and you run
To catch up with the sun
But it's sinking.
Racing around
To come up behind you again.

The sun is the same
In a relative way but you're older.
Shorter of breath
And one day closer to death.
