The Purple Sun Opens

Image by Sandro Porto from Pixabay

 

Another land, time place

another dark scary door

that this purple sun opens

it carries to a tunnel

I'm not afraid 

I'm stepping in.

Into Another Land #safehome #lorijeanfinnila

 

Even as your hiding

Even in the dark

Walking around corners

So far from everyone 

As you dodge in and out 

Throughout your day

Waiting for the chance 

to speak in the night 

for no one else to hear

Someone will hear 

your intelligent words

She is there 

Far away

Dark and cold

So cold so deep so light

Deep down buried

The sun shines so yellow

Fills the sky 2 skies

That fold 1 an unknown place

So surreal far away into another land

Into another land someone will hear your intelligent words.

34 Poems and More Already For My Next Poetry Book #poetry #womenauthors #lorijeanfinnila

Image by Nile from Pixabay

Just counted 34 poems I have under my google account not counting some writing that I have here. I can't believe I've acquired enough to write another poetry book already. I would force myself to sit down at night and write and then I'd stop and start working on other things. So happy the time I set aside added up to all this. Here's a touch of one of the short poems that caught my attention highly.

Your Intelligent Words

Even as your hiding

Even in the dark

Walking around corners

So far from everyone 

As you dodge in and out 

Throughout your day

Waiting for the chance 

to speak in the night 

for no one else to hear

Someone will hear your intelligent words.

Lyrics:

Verse

I say no though 

that's not what I mean

I want you, when I capture your presence

near me

 

 Chorus

I can't do or think what  I want to

I was meant to never be this way

I was born in the wrong place

I was taught to say no

 

Verse

My mind keeps coming

Back to you

Your words, your breath

The way I watch you move

Picturing you inside me

Chorus 

 

Verse 

I shudder when I see you leave

Knowing I'll never see you again

I imagine everything you'd do to me

Your touch your taste

Your mouth inside of mine

 

I can't do what I want to

I promised I would never do

Never thinking on my own

 

Standing all alone

 

Chorus

 

 

 No, no

no, no no no no

no no mmmm

repeat

I Feel So Close to God #newsong #lyrics #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #God

Image by Karen .t from Pixabay

I updated the song lyrics to a song I wrote a long time ago called So Close to God. I know call it I Feel So Close to God and made a new composition for it. I will be recording it soon.

Verse

I'm up one more day

The sun is shining

though I don't feel 

as connected as others do

I'm still so grateful

I feel I have much to do

I feel his message

I  fight to put into words

the meaning of my …..existence

Chorus

I feel so close to God

But I don't want to reach him too soon

Please tell him to love me......

And let me remain

Verse

Another Sunday I can't make it to church

though I connect with those that perished

on a daily basis

(I know the feel of death)

Chorus

I feel so close to God

I don't want to reach him too soon

Please tell him to love me...

And let me remain..…...

Verse

I looked at your face

and learned what pain was from you

I can’t imagine the pain you suffered

or maybe I did

I was the black sheep of the family

a mess when I needed help most

I felt death too but I escaped

I learned what love is

Chorus

I feel so close to God

I don't want to reach him too soon

Please tell him to love me...

And let me remain..…...

I feel so close to God

Mother's Day Special "Praise the Lady" #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #electronic #mothersdaygift

 

Image by MJ Jin from Pixabay

Preview video: 

Just finished mastering this song for Mother's Day. This is dedicated to all the sons and daughters who have watched their mothers fight so hard for them. Free at SoundCloud and my Google Drive. I'm getting it out early for all the mothers all over the world.

Praise the Lady lyrics

Verse

truth is hard

it’s physically painful

the push, the hiding, fighting

to get to passion

Chorus

Praise the lady

who fights for passion

closing her eyes to darkness and walking toward it

Thank the higher power

for letting her stand after the storm

Verse

I look in corners on my walks 

where I ordinarily wouldn’t

tears come to my eyes

thinking of the women 

I left behind

Chorus

Praise the lady

who fights for passion

closing her eyes to darkness and walking toward it

Thank the higher power

for letting her stand after the storm

Verse

I force the walks

though my arms and legs hurt

my muscles burn

when I push them to stretch

to cover bone

Bridge

my chest gurgles from my cracked head

my head tires of my eyes

I push to get back the time of my life

Chorus
