Poetry Inspired By Prince--OK Don't Hate!

All right, I know this is the org and I'm going to open myself up to all kinds of ridicule and otherwise! So what! Here is a poem that I was inspired to write, not my best, but not my worst, by listening to the Come album. What poems, good or bad, have you been inspired to write by P's music? Or anti-poetry, for you haters?! Here is mine (quake & shiver):

NO MORE

When you call to me
I want to come...
I want to do
All the things
I’m no longer meant to do

When I hear your music
Call to me
I want to dance
And sing!and do
All the things
I’m no longer
Supposed to do

When I hear your voice
I want to scream
And let go of
All the things
I’m not supposed to do

I’m not supposed to go...
But I want to follow
All the way to the end

Open-ended, that’s the way
It was supposed to be
Self-deceiving alter-ego
Pied-piper playing tunes
I no longer want to hear

Lead me to the brink
I will leap the divide
Cutting to the quick
Because he can’t decide...

But now I’m done!
When I hear your voice
Saying "Come..."
I know I will follow.

eek razz wink

Nice poetcorner...No Hate Here...

Prince has inspired me as a writer for years.

Here's a little one where loving Prince has always left me suspended.

Thanks smile Just checked--the word is "come" but "cum" is implied (not so subtly).

I wouldn't say an album has inspired me to write a poem, but I liked yours and I'm willing to write a quick poem for Prince, using some song names for fun. It's fictional ok?

Hearing you live in concert is energising my dear
So I let my computer bring me, the best jam of the year
Now I may not be the one U wanna see
I feel for you, but I won't create controversy

I'll just letitgo and walk into the light
Accepting the dark and this space as my plight
I'll take it solo and forget the gold
I'll feel better with time and grow gracefully old

But as I grow, will you bathe me in cream
Adding love like jazz to accent my dreams
So as I move forward to climb those mountains ahead
I"ll remember I needed another lover like the hole in my head cool

Ha ha! Thanks, I enjoyed that and the way you worked the song titles into the poem! Much better and more enjoyable than mine! lol

nah.. yours was good.
I'm waiting for the haters to use their emotion creatively.
Will be fun, if they'll join the party poetically. cool
