Musical Cento

Good morning starshine
There's love in your skies
Reflecting the sunlight
In my lover's eyes
There's a river to cross
And a mountain to climb
Patience, Patience
It's gonna take some time
Trusting desire, starting to learn
Walking through fire without a burn
Clinging on a shoulder a leap begins
Stinging and older, asleep on pins
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feeling there's a miracle due,
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth
Or childhood
I must have done something
Something good

70's/80's Cento Mix

And when my mind is free
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
(Won't you take me away?)
Where the rain is falling on stony ground
And I start wondering why I'm even around
Can't find the sunshine anywhere
Cause there ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Just know you’re not alone
'Cause I’m going to make this place your home
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
You can call on me brother, when you need a hand,
We all need somebody to lean on,
I just must have a problem that you'll understand,
We all need somebody (need somebody) to lean on
Call me (when you need a friend)
Call me (anytime) Just Call Me

Rumours

You say, We've got nothing in common
No common ground to stand on,
And we're falling apart
Every time you take me out boy
We see another girl whose held your hand
And she acts like she doesn't care with me
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
' Cause anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far

Cento Three: I Don't Know How to Love Him...

I would walk 500 miles

Hide your love away

I’ll give you shelter from the storm

I’ll do anything

Just to be where you are

When the time is right

Call me

No matter what

I’ll be there

I’ll be waiting

Fool that I am

Cento Part Two

Cento Part Two

We are screaming inside but we can’t be heard

Long silence followed then again her voice was stagnant midnight stirred

Pain so extreme as to cause writhing I’m confused by the agony.

Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite terror of their reality.

And a pill won’t take the pain away. But it makes you feel good in a different way.

What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

Cento Poem- Unnamed

This is a variation on a Cento poem.  The word comes from cloak of patches.  It is generally a poem made of lines of other poems or lines from stories.  I used lyrics from songs.  It was harder than I thought so there was no real rhyme scheme or meter to it.  I save that for the next time! LOL
Song credits are at the bottom and listed by line. 

Where have you been my darling young one?

‘Cause lately I’ve been waking up alone

Just call out my name

Anywhere you go I’ll follow you down, I’ll follow you down but not that far…

When I met you in the summer

Maybe you were right but baby I was lonely

And then I said hey what going on

Will you follow and know, know me more than you do?

You turned to me and all at once

Tell me why you’re looking so confused

I won’t let nobody hurt you, won’t let nobody break your heart

That’s my job, that’s what I do

So if I lay here, If I just lay here

Could you, could you come back?

I’d rather die young than grow old without you

Don’t ask me to choose honey, cause either way we stand to lose.
