David Michael Jackson Poems

Firefly Poem by David Michael Jackson

by

Fireflies

fireflies
we are
you and I
a sparkle over there
here
now there
how can we hope for more when
the stars
are
fireflies
too
these mighty suns
burning in the eternal night
a night which will be there
when stars are
gone
as gone as the children
of war
these children deserved more
than those majestic
meaningless
stars
the children of war deserve more
than some unknown poet
can give them
I am the same as them
You are the same as them
greater than mere stars,
galaxies
what galaxy can equal one
child

Born in Texas Lyrics by David Michael Jackson

by

I WAS BORN IN TEXAS

I was born in Texas and raised in Louisiana
an’ I’m goin’ down to alabam
gonna eat me some good smoked ham
head on down to New Orleans
with my baby in them sweet blue jeans
but I ain’t goin back to Texas
I was born in Texas and raised in Louisiana
an’ I’m goin’ down to Baton Rouge
gonna find me som Cajun food
head on down to New Orleans
with my baby in them sweet blue jeans
but I ain’t goin back to Texas
An’ you don’ have to ask why
I know it’s plain to see
the Texas blue sky
has seen the last of me

I was born in Texas and raised in Louisiana
an’ I’m goin’ down to Tennessee
gonna find out what they have to eat
head on down to New Orleans
with my baby in them sweet blue jeans
but I ain’t goin back to Texas
no I ain’t……goin’ back to Texas

Just Write a Poem Poem By David Michael Jackson

by

So,
we’ll just write a poem
yessir
just sit down and write
a poem of love
of rescue, of
summer breeze and
removal of hate,
a poem that says
we were here
and the flowers were wiser,
and the animals were wiser than we,
we rescuers of ourselves,
always rescueing ourselves.
Be like my cat.
See how she
loves,
truly loves the
cream.

the groove poem by H.E. Hasben

by

smoke a joint, man, I mean
get off center,
cruise.
You ever cruise?
Yeah man just
gliiiiiiide
let the winds take you
man.
That woman she done said too much
done
let go of the groove.
Man there were days when
it flowed, the
groove,
like molassis on a hot stove.
we were young then
things mattered, we still thought
things mattered,
like we were young actors
waiting for discovery and
not knowing what that meant.
Yeah man those were the days
Chill out dude
time will get you quickly enough
so let the fresh air in
and grooooove
dude

Let’s Love Each Other Again

by

Let’s Love Each Other Again.mp3 by Laura Longon

Lyrics David Jackson

Melody Laura Longon

String arrangement Chris Carmichael

Here are the lyrics if you’d like to sing along:

Don’t be a stranger.

Don’t drift away from me.

I’m sorry it matters

It matters so much to see

You do those little things that make me think

that you don’t want me anymore

Don’t be a stranger

Don’t drift away from me

Why don’t we go somewhere

go somewhere and just sit down

and say all those little things

those little things

that matter most,

scatter these tears on the winds of love

and love each other again.

Why don’t we go somewhere,

go somewhere and just sit down

Why not love each moment

why not sing the songs of love

Are all our moments stolen

Let’s love each other again

Oh let’s love each other again

You can’t hear these words

You can’t wonder why

I sit here and think of you, think of you

I sit here and cry

Let’s go somewhere and talk again

Let’s go somewhere and end this pain.

You can’t hear these words

Oh You can’t wonder why

Why not love each moment

why not sing the songs of love.

Are all our moments stolen

Let’s love each other again

Oh let’s love each other again

Oh it doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter why or when

let’s love each other again
