Once In A While
(m. edwards, b. green)
Once in a while,
Will you try
To give one little thought to me,
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?
Once in a while,
Will you dream
Of the moments
I shared with you,
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?
In loves smoldering ember,
One spark may remain.
If love still can remember,
That spark may burn again.
I know that ill
Be contented with
Yesterdays memory,
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while.
~interlude~
Once in a while...
In loves smoldering ember,
One spark may remain.
If love still can remember,
The spark may burn again.
I know that ill
Be contented with
Yesterdays memory,
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while...
Once in a while.

Album: whats love got to do with it (93)
To my surprise one hundred storeys high
People getting loose now, getting down on the roof
Folks screaming, out of control
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
(burn baby burn) disco inferno
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(burn baby burn) disco inferno
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
I couldnt get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody is going strong, and that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
(burn baby burn) disco inferno
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(burn baby burn) disco inferno
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Up above my head
I hear music in the air
That makes me know
Theres a party somewhere
(just cant stop) when my spark gets hot

Sonnet: My Poesy’s Spark
The spark of yours did light the wood in me,
That was so dry and fired so quickly;
Destined to be, consumed like this may be;
I thank you Uncle, most wholeheartedly.
The fire stirred my heart and mind and soul;
What blaze! How high! And continues to burn;
The flames leap like fire of England's coal;
The rest of time, I'm gentle like a fern.
The spark came timely; dry was much the clime;
My wood did burn so fast but noiselessly;
Each leaping flame carried with it a rhyme;
I burn still more but burn so steadily.
I thank the Lord for giving me this spark;
With it, I'll build a modern Noah's Ark.

Spark In The Dark
Welcome to the party
Its only me and you
Tell the world to go away, babe
And Ill tell you what to do
Come over here and kiss me
I want to pull your hair
Turn out the lights and hold me
I want to touch you everywhere
We dont need nobody, baby
We dont need champagne
Ill take you to the deepest,
Darkest, hottest, lovers lane
For a little spark in the dark
Just a little spark in the dark
Dont matter where we sleep
Dont matter where we park
All we need is a spark, spark
Spark in the dark
Just a little spark in the dark
Come around midnight
Well be crawlin on the floor
Burnin with the fever
And yellin out for more
But dont you write it in your
Diary, baby
Dont blab it on the phone
Cuz if your mom and dad find out
Theyll skin me to the bone
Now we dont need instructions,
Baby
Dont you be afraid
It takes a little friction
Thats how our love is made
]from a little spark in the dark
Just a little spark in the dark
Dont matter what you say
No matter what you do
As long as it is me and you
We got a spark in the dark
Just a little spark in the dark, yeah
We dont need nobody, baby
We dont need cocaine
Ill take you to the deepest,
Darkest, hottest lovers lane
Spark in the dark
Just a little spark in the dark
Dont matter where we sleep
Dont matter where we park
All we need is a spark, spark

Inward Burning Fire
It's a dark path now - I don't know where it leads.
I only know you're not on it.
Insufficient light comes from the flame in my heart.
The fire you started.
This flame rages seeking fuel to burn and survive.
Give me some coal dust from your hair.
Just some green driftwood shavings from your eyes.
Your oaken wood hands warming mine - they're so cold now.
Better yet, an answering warmth
from the fire burning in your heart for mine.
Nothing serves to heal a dying flame as that meeting would.
But that's my fire seeking what will not be found on this path.
So, the flame turns inward to die out.
I hide the smoke.
It was always enough for you alone to know of this kindling within.
In the flame's death it must be secret still.
The fire consumes internally,
seeking out each memory hidden away.
Consuming every thought I ever had of you.
No one knows the fire's rage
until it turns to them and touches.
It will burn on inward
until it has devoured every memory, every feeling
with sustenance left in it.
It's a painful death,
but once the fire exists
it can only consume until it dies.
I know this science. I accept.
I accepted long ago.
The fire is so warm when first kindled.
Soon, I hope and fear,
only ash will be left.
The pain will be over.
I know I'll be cold but I'll rest.
As for now, while it's still burning,
I will make one vow.
I will save one tiny ember.
I will try to keep it warm and safe.
Just in case the path turns - and there you are.
And if a spark still remains within you too
this dear and dreaded fire can rise again.
Though more likely I know -
my little ember will serve only to remind me what warmth was
and burn my fingers.

A spark..
Everyone we know, has that spark to light up,
The cold hearts of human to thaw and blaze up,
To radiate the warmth of love to their neighbors,
To spread the message of kindness that allures,
To entangle those miserable people at the distance,
Have the stores that sell faithful blemishes,
The spark at the sky runs white zigzag,
The spark at the stroke of the flint and Iron,
Banging of stones and at the iridium plug,
May start the combustion to burn and manage,
The spark at the hearts that melts the nods,
Spread through the bodies to be entwined,
Where the blooms touch each and every cell,
Ecstatic things alive, dance rhythmic and still,
The spark at the minds of mass ablaze,
Inabilities, ignorance and servitude,
On the floor of the emancipated balconies,
The flowers bloom freely to hang in breeze.

The Spark That Is Us
One more time said the lady Jane
walk on in the fire
chinese whispers ringing now
step into the mire
I've been strung out to dry
blowing in the gale
my names been left hanging,
hanging on your nail
all the misfits
are flying like a kite
all of my friends
have come to see the fight
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
I can hear the Quireboys singing
and it's falling on my ears
I can hear the trumpets playing
running down the years
don't ask me how the world looks
how it looks tonight
I'm gonna be leaving babe
outta here and outta sight
I've been laying down
coming off the rails
I've been chasing shadows
playing Happy trails
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
Solo
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day

Old Flame
Theres a girl Ill remember
Oh for such a long, long time
This girl Ill remember
She was an old flame of mine
Beneath the stars just sipping wine
Young lovers then in summertime
Ill always remember
That old flame of mine
Love, she comes and gove
True love, she hides then shows
My love, may I propose
That love she comes and goes
Two hearts together two hearts alight
To keep us warm on winter nights
With each dying ember
I remember that old flame of mine
Once this flame it did brightly blaze
Among the ashes there still remains
A glowing spark in my heart
For that old flame of mine

I have no words
I have no words, no idea
and do not know how,
to write that which lies between us
on paper.
There’s a spark
that exists between us by itself,
that I never want to kill.
Still you remain much bigger to me,
than what I can say
in mere words.
Like every other man
at times I do not know,
what are in your heart
and how to understand you.
Truly life passes quickly
and the tomorrows
are turned to fast into the yesterdays,
but as long as we are together
no time will come
between you and me.
Even in eternity
I will find you somewhere
and will still want to
love you more.

A crowd is like a smoldering log which can spark into a flame at any time.
Chasing Rainbows
Chasing rainbows
That should have followed the rain
Chasing old loves
‘cause no new loves came
Chasing old dreams
For no new dreams came along
Writing old love letters
‘cause there are no new words to be found
Oh, I am just a fool
Who will never learn
Deep in my heart
A spark continues to burn
Urging me always onward
To the no where end
Where I’ll be forgotten
By foe and friend

Man's Future
Somehow there remains
a little spark
to light up the universe
while things seem dark.
Let the spark ignite
and blaze again
for all good souls
and all good men.
We must lose the sigh
and never allow
the spark to die.

Brought Back to Life
You make the sun shine
when the skys are black,
my heart is filling with feelings of wack,
I'm sick of all these lies,
worries, and whys,
I'm just going to close my eyes.
pulled down by forever imprisoning darkness,
only saved by loves soft kiss,
pure happiness and bliss.
Your the sweet ember of life,
you spark a flame,
and yes I feel the same.

That Night Datum....
In the silence of moonlight
when the beauty of night was
shivering in solitude
with daring efforts
fatigue of despondent
found shelter in your strong arms
from the moment
that spark of love was burried
in the silence of lips
But suddenly
that spark felt peeping
outskirts of the Body
witnessing those moments
After all.....
How long would hide
' that night datum....'

Smart Phone
Your life lasts only as
Long as your smart phone has
Any battery power.
Time sifts away in apps
And the seconds collapse
To be consumed each hour.
Your pocketed moments
Seem to troll—to foment—
As they are all devour'd.
You have cameras to
Capture the world that you
Can no longer remember.
It's phosphorescently
Beautiful—what you see—
Preserved in the screen's amber,
Tempered in sepia
And social media's
Briefly smoldering ember,
Coupled with the fragments
Of language, the figments
That remain of expression.
You share post-literate
Acronyms, generate
Trends that defy discretion.
You bombard my thoughts by
Saturating my eyes—
And such is our progression.

All I Can Be
I can reach the stars
and shout triumphantly
I only have to answer to myself
I'm all I can be
Without you I wouldn't be so rebellious
You gave me that extra spark
But now, I'm using that spark against you
I'm all I can be
My heart was once broken
But now I'm healing it myself
I can do this alone, I've done everything else that way
I'm all I can be
Thanks to you, I'm stronger
Thanks to you, I'm wiser
Thanks to you, I know what not to look for in love
I'm all I cam be without you

Winter Love Song
My heart is now in dark
As the day dimly goes
In the wintry cold and spark
As the winter now grows
Summer feeling deep in heart
Only memories now on
Kisses and touches apart
To yesterdays now gone
Summer feeling we had everywhere
Burned in yellow brown leaves
Red and gold is still thou here
In those moments of old grieves
Every hour is in a silence deep
Through the streets we walk alone
Nothing but old memories to keep
With this dark and wintry tone
I miss my roses red
All the sunshine flowers
My garden's an empty bed
In these lonely hours
Summer feeling deep in heart
Only memories now on
Kisses and touches apart
To yesterdays now gone

Immortality
So this is who I am
And this is all I know
And I must choose to live
For all that I can give
The spark that makes the power grow
But I will stand for one dream if I can
Symbol of my faith in who I am
But you are my only
And I must follow on the road that lies ahead
I wont let my heart control my head
But you are my only
And we dont say goodbye
We dont say goodbye
And I know what Ive got to be...
Immortality
I make my journey through eternity
I keep the memory of you and me
Inside
Fulfill your destiny
Its there within the child
My storm will never end
My fate is on the wind
The king of hearts
The jokers wild
We dont say goodbye
We dont say goodbye
Ill make them all remember me
Cause I have found the dream that must come true
Every ounce of me must see it through
But you are my only
Im sorry I dont have the role for love to play
Hand over my heart Ill find my way
I will make them give to me...
Immortality
There is a vision and a fire in me
I keep the memory of you and me
Inside
And we dont say goodbye
We dont say goodbye
In all my love for you
And what else we may do
We dont say goodbye...

I Like The Way
Somewhere inside my evolution
Karmically I seek retribution
Looking for love in physical beauty
Desire is the drug of the bourgeoisie
And now I try to intellectualize
Like a glimmer of good in a bad man's eyes
I am consumed by the flesh haunting me
I know temptation taunts the empty
So pour yourself over me
Until there's nothing left to see, yeah yeah
Because I like the way you move in the dark
I like the tension, the tension and the spark
The decadence of giving into desire
Creates such entropy within
Looking for love in spiritual faces
Blind to the art of fabrication
I'm like a baby sucking mama's milk
Want to drink my fill and then some
Leave me alone
I always thought I was better than this
But temptation tempts the temptee
Pour yourself over me
Until there's nothing left to see, yeah yeah
Oh, because I like the way you move in the dark
And I like the tension, the tension and the spark, oh
Because I like the way you move in the dark, oh
You know I like the tension, the tension and, the tension and the spark, oh
This physicality
Shifting me chemically
Such power over me
It's just desire
I know it's treachery (shifting me chemically)
I know it's just skin deep (such power over me)
I know I should resist
I'm just too tired
Too tired
There's just one thing missing
One thing missing here is
Love
I like the way you move in the dark
I like the tension, the tension and the spark (so pour yourself over me)
You know, I like the way you move in the dark (so pour yourself over me)
You know, I like the tension, the tension and, the tension and the spark
So pour yourself over me
(There's just one thing missing)
(One thing missing)
Until there's nothing left to see
(There's just one thing missing)
(The tension and the spark)
(One thing missing)
(So pour yourself over me)
There's just one thing missing
One thing missing
(So pour yourself over me)
(I like the tension, the tension and the spark)
(There's just one thing missing)
One thing missing here is...

Wild at Heart - Gloriana
Down a back road,
Long, hot summer,
A couple kids runnin' loose and wild.
He kissed her,
She said mister,
Take an inch and I'll give you a mile.
I ain't here to do anything half-way,
Don't give a dang what anyone might say,
I just wanna free fall for a while.
That rebel moon is shinin',
Those stars burn like diamonds,
Heck bent on chasin' down that crazy spark(slide) .
I'll follow you where you're leading,
To the first sweet taste of freedom,
You got me runnin' baby,
Wild at heart.
About midnight, he tells her,
I ain't got no come-on lines.
Well I love you, or I'll try to,
We got nothing to lose but time.
Stick your hand into my back pocket,
Light me up like a bottle rocket,
I just wanna free fall for a while.
That rebel moon is shinin',
Those stars burn like diamonds,
Heck bent on chasin' down that crazy spark(slide) .
I'll follow you where you're leadin',
To the first sweet taste of freedom,
You got me runnin' baby,
Wild at heart.
O-oh, alright,
Tonight is tellin' us we're way too young.
O-oh, that's alright,
I've got forever on the tip of my tongue.
That rebel moon is shinin',
Those stars burn like diamonds,
Heck bent on chasin' down that crazy spark(slide) .
I'll follow you where you're leading,
To the first sweet taste of freedom,
You got me runnin' baby,
Wild at heart.
That rebel moon is shinin',
Those stars burn like diamonds.
Heck bent on chasin' down that crazy spark(slide) .
I'll follow you where you're leading,
To the first sweet taste of freedom,
You got me runnin' baby,
You got me runnin' baby,
Wild at heart.
O-oh, alright.
