Original lyric poetry
All,
I thought it might be interesting to get folks to post original pieces of lyric poetry. This is my initial contribution. I wrote it some time ago. I mean to put it to music eventually but would like to come up with a chorus first. Ganymede In the methane skies of Ganymede I stood on the shore of a frozen sea And watched gods and ghosts in a giant’s race Rush headlong through the vacant space Between the true and Chosen One And the distant flicker of the sun. Here in the Halls of Mystery Where silent Jupiter reigns supreme Where Saturn revolves in her rings and sings Of moons and dreams and silken things, Of life and love forever young Deep in the heart of the Chosen One. The methane winds will still my heart The stars will pick my bones apart My soul will voyage through the ebon well To lands and rivers where no sorrows dwell And I will lift my paean song To eternity and the Chosen One.

Pretty good!
Sounds like something Jubal Harshaw might have written.

Very nice lyrics. Come up with a suitably mystical and otherworldly melody and you’ll have a good song.

Wow, Hawk... I love it! Ganymede is an intriguing, otherworldly place. Very nice.

Quote:
Certainly the challenge will be putting it to music. Will be interested to see what you come up with musically . Here is one of mine Turn Out in the Wind Do you ever wonder bout the way life might have been If you'd only taken a different turn out in the wind We sail along never really knowing how it ends We chart our course and hope that where were headed is where we end. Life is an ocean full storms and tides and wind A clear horizon can get lost when the fog rolls in What seemed so certain soon becomes vague and frightening We have our plans sometimes they unravel in our hands We make our choices and wonder why Is it just inner voices crying A new door opens you hesitate at the threshold Should you go on through it will you regret it when your old But hesitation can get you lost or so were told Ya hesitation can can get lost that's what we're told We make our choices and wonder why Is it just inner voices crying Waiting through darkness wondering will the dawn change everything Sing loud and clear boy but listen to the bells if they start to ring Life forever changes guess it keeps it interesting We make our choices and wonder why It's just inner voices crying , crying , crying....... vamp and fade

Thank you guys very much for the compliments. And yes, the issue will be trying to come up with a suitable melody to go with the theme.
I hope to get back into poetry and photography in retirement. And get some 1:1 guitar lessons. Youtube videos help a lot but don't give me the feedback and individual instruction that I want. I was hoping to see others' work as well.

Yes two versions with two different kinds of music, one is Acoustic guitar & vocal don't currently have that on Sound Cloud but think "Riders on the storm" by the Doors type of progression in Em
And this version recorded in Nashville as a full blown demo style with a different feel . Electric and Acoustic guitar , Electric Bass , Drums , and Electric Piano and my Vocal . In this version I did not do the last "we make our choices " in the new acoustic version I do and repeat and fade with "Cryin"
