All I wanna do is write a song
that hits all the right notes , is lyrically
blessed with Shakespearean quotes and
reason to rhyme.

I wanna write in a way that'll make you think.
Make you think wow that's incredible,
so expressive and so true if that
song was a colour it would be the
palest shade of blue.

I wanna be able to use clever metaphors,
subliminal semantics and a
love that's so divine.
I wanna make powerful observations,
create profound connotations,
have a style that's distinctly mine.

I want my pen to be a prophet,
a wizard of words.
I want it to be inspired,
globally admired.
With modest undertones.

I wanna write in a way that'll make you think.
Make you think wow that's amazing,
so passionate and so true if that
song was a colour it would be the
palest shade of blue.

But every time I put my pen to
paper, my mind goes in to hibernation
Failing to formulate any sort of
logical cohesion. I just end up
with some laughable linguistic
simplicity.
Like for example :

I'm not your piano so
don't play me like a chord
Opposites attract, it's simple
we couldn't be more different as people.



Continuing the narrative,
that's been done so many times
before.

I'll make tiny paper machΓ© hearts,
press them to my lips
and kiss you all over down to your chest.
Tie them together with string
attach them to your vest.

Whispering softly,
Your beauty is so mesmerizing.
no ones perfect but you're defying.
I could stare at you for weeks
and not notice the hours,
I could hold you till my arms fall off.
                        'Cause , strength's part of the mind,
that controls the heart,
and tonight, your heart lies with mine.

So, whenever you can't sleep
I'll pick up my temperamental pen,
write you a lullaby, laughing as I
smile and say my gift is my song
and this ones for you.
And if music be the food of love,
then darling let's have a feast!

I wanna write in a way
that'll make you think.
Hit all the right notes. Be so expressive and so true,
if this song was a colour it'd be a new shade of blue.
