dVerse Poets Poetics

Dear Poets, the challenge today is to choose a musical artist, song, or genre of music and write a poem inspired by it or them.

Truly Madly Deeply

when I thought I was in love
listening to this album repeatedly
simple words exactly speak my feelings for the man
easily expressed emotions written in a “rock” song fuel romantic fantasies

Lyrics/Songwriters: Daniel Jones / Darren Hayes ( Savage Garden)

I’ll be your dream, I’ll be your wish, I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope, I’ll be your love, be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong, I will be faithful ’cause I’m counting on
A new beginnin’
A reason for livin’
A deeper meaning, yeah

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I’ll make a wish, send it to heaven and make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty
That we’re surrounded by the comfort and protection
Of the highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you

An’ I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Oh, can you see it, baby?
You don’t have to close your eyes
It’s standin’ right before you
All that you need will surely come

Ooh, yeah

I’ll be your dream, I’ll be your wish, I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope, I’ll be your love, be everything that you need
I’ll love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply do

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

  1. Cheryl, I love this song and listened it to a lot when it was on the radio. I also understand about listening to these songs and getting lost in the fantasy of the perfect romantic love. Great choice of song to write to and the message you shared about what it meant to you.
