Leave Me Like You Do

(John Hanover)

First song written for and from a melody on the Trail Dulcimer. A little experimental in phrasing and rhyme.

Forget me not can’t forget this 
I lost myself 
Between the satin and your kiss 
Soon to sleep then to dream 
Life is better than it seems 
 
( chorus ) 
When 
You.. 
Leave me like you do 
Leave me like you do 
Leave me like you do 
With a smile or two 
 
Night lilies open for the moon 
I know full well 
That you’ll be here soon 
Hard to rest with anticipation

Paint The Sun

By John Hanover

The chorus is a short poem I wrote when experimenting with the Nava Rasa ( Nine Emotional States ) from Hindi/Sanskrit. The verses are a variation off of my poetic form in regards to repeating the first line at the end of the verse. As with all my offerings I can edit or expand as needed. Spent years as a professional florist, so imagery and terms associated with and flowers will find their way into my works every now and then.

7 Day Downfall

By John Hanover

A little less conventional than my usual writing. A faster, and easier rhyme scheme with its pacing could be more Rap or Hip Hop. All of my lyrics are open to any genre.

Porcupine Rain

By John Hanover

A slight homage to Classic Country in trying to drink away the heartache. The chorus hook came to me in a dream, and how rain catches random lighting looking similar to the bands in a Porcupine’s quill and stings as it sobers up the broken hearted man.

Blue Orchid

By John Hanover

From the Blue Orchid series. An experiment with language, it is English, but less common a little more island like. One could even say this is Reggae or Ska like in its wording.

Singing on the corner

By Howard Aronson

This is a fictional lyric about someone who's a sidewalk performer, and hoping that he makes a big someday. It's so hard to become a star at anything, even if you're good, to be a pro at it is mostly a dream and people's minds. But you can never give up, and hope that one day you'll get a chance to prove to everyone that you belong on the big stage.
