Proud Mary

Proud Mary

 

Her love is nice and easy

Especially when times are rough

She’s something like an addiction

 I simply can’t get enough

 

Her essence swirls around me

With each and every kiss

Diving into new dimensions

Bathed in pure bliss

 

She has my head in the clouds

She’s my number one desire

She ignites a spark in me

Whenever I light her fire

 

Most people disapprove

But my love, I will not hide

Let me be very blunt

Mary’s my joy and pride

 

In this crazy chaotic world

She is my peace, my stillness

Her kiss is known to cure

Cruel and chronic illness

 

I love her

I ADORE HER

I even love her name

It just rolls off the tongue

My sweet Mary Jane

 

She lifts my spirits, high

And keeps a smile on my face

Like old 70s soul

Her feel can never be replaced

 

The wheels in my mind

Keep on turning…

Proud Mary

Keeps on burning

 

…and we’re rollin

Rollin, yeah

Rollin on the river

 

…She’s a healer

 

Like good music

Mary

Always delivers

You are a lyrist man. I couldn't help but imagine this as a song with a nice beat, I had to read it over in my drake voice lol. "like old 70's soul her feel can't be replaced." That line is genius and I just love this so much. The metaphoric language is on point. You have an amazing use of language.

lol@Drake voice...Thanks Jess!

I knew Sweet Mary Jane in the 80's. She was a helluva gal! Ha! Loved the way this smoothly swirled right on through me. Not even a cough. Angi~

[Sirius King]

lol... thanks Angi!! ;-)

[Angi]

Great memories here...I think.. Ha! My pleasure.

[Sirius King]

[Angi]

A warm, fuzzy, hungry blur!

A amazing poem. Felt like a song. I like the description of Mary. Gave her beauty and made her come alive with your words. Mary is a special lady in the poem. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Yes she is, thank you Coyote

Well it took me till the fourth stanza, Mary's my joy, to understand your love. Sheltered child I guess.

Very clever. I especially like how you end floating off with the music in your head.

[Sirius King]

lol, I'm glad you got it... maybe i should've been sheltered a little more ;-)

Sweet Mary Jane ! I love that candy and yes it does just roll off the tongue, it's pretty hard to find today. Peanut Butter and molasses couldn't taste better. Today my tastes have changed and early and often I like Haribo Gold Gummy Bears and Bottle Caps candy.

Truly sounds like you are getting a sugar rush writing all of this here. Go easy on the sweets there, Serenus. I think it's in the Bible, New Living Translation, Proverbs:

"Do you like honey? Don't eat too much, or it will make you sick!"

Course that's true with anything even ice cream. :)

[Sirius King]

true...to much of anything is a bad thing ;-)

thank you dw!

[dw817]

UBetcha !

[Baby Ricochet]

Why do I suddenly have the munchies?

[Sirius King]

[Sirius King]

That really means a lot.

[Sirius King]

[Rita L. Sev]

She lights a spark in me
When I thought I lit the fire..

This made me smile - we have such delusions, but it is often just the presence of our beloved that gets the fire going...

So many sweet and affectionate lines here, Serenus. Well penned!

[Sirius King]

thank you Rita, love when u stop by!
