PHYSICAL RHYMES - A THANK YOU POST

Today I don’t want to write…so I didn’t. Well, I guess I did since I am writing this…but I am cheating because I am really just introducing a re-blog. So uh…yea…we will call this a pseudo post.

Once upon a time there was a girl. This girl was sad, with a broken spirit, and absolutely no reason for it. She was fairly pathetic and needed to be slapped, spanked, locked in her room. Eventually she got better without any of those things happening but there were other things that helped her walk out of a dark room into the light of day again. One of those things started with a person. The person’s name was Edward Hotspur and the girl was HastyWords.

Hotspur is my age, happily married like me, we both have kids around the same age, and we both love to write. I don’t remember if he found my blog first or I found his but his blog made me laugh, just the most random shit you can think of and he made randomness seem genius. Anyway, I looked forward to reading his blog. Turns out he also loves lyrics, and poetry. Check out his poetry here. One thing led to another and we wrote our first ever poetic duet, Physical Rhymes in October 2012.

This brought about two phenomenal ideas. Romantic Mondays which Edward Hotspur beautifully and romantically hosts for billions of people a week and poetic duets. Poetic duets are the one thing I enjoy the most about blogging. Meeting new people and writing with them has helped me find the positive in myself again. It has made me feel connected to the world I was feeling isolated in. It made me realize I am not alone in any of the emotions I go through.

I don’t talk to Edward Hotspur much anymore because life just gets busy but I am forever grateful for the positive influence he has had in my life.

Below is the first duet ever done by Hotspur and me. This is also one of my favorite duets ever.

Thanks…Hotspur.

Never stop wanting me

Or haunting me

Or I’ll fade away

Never stop thinking of

Making love

In shades of gray

Never stop dancing

Romancing the floor

Upon which I walk

But honey we’ve got to talk

My heart keeps stopping

Skipping rhythmic beats

Please keep my name

Written when we meet

Softly on your lips

Whispering in my ears

Swaying with my hips

Motions only I can hear

All other sounds melting

Evaporating with air

Angels sigh

Fireflies light our only way

Hard to believe

I must leave with the light of day

You keep pulling me back

With your promises

And you make me lose track

Of my senses

You’re so forceful with everything

You want to feel about us

But honey we’ve got things to discuss

When you try to leave

I feel frozen in time

Anguish stealing my smile

Completely wrapped up

In physical rhymes

Please just stay awhile

Let the world rotate alone

As we lay in the sand

Melting into the sunrise

I hold your hand

And with your eyes you make me stay

But the burning moment we just had

Left with the light of day

Still, with everything I’ve known

You caused a spark in me

Took all the dark in me

And this heart in me beats faster with you

Than with anyone I’ve found

So honey, I’m sticking around
