I Gave My Love

Despite the social commitments of Christmas I have still been putting my time aside to write, although I haven't recorded anything new. I've been playing with a new keyboard I have and haven't gotten as far as actually recording any ideas. I will post something new in the way of a song or idea tomorrow.

The main problem I'm having is this same internet situation at the house I'm sitting. I can only get internet in the early hours of the morning and I've not wanted to continually stay up that late. So my blog entries have suffered and I apologise. Perth isn't abundant with cafés that have free Wi-Fi like most other western countries. Another reason why Perth is in the internet Stone Age.

My creativity is still going well though. Not that I expect another week where I write 3 songs. But you never know.

Right now I'm going to post a poem. This just came to my head suddenly and I liked the sound of it. I hope you do too. Among other meanings, I want to express that if you give things away they multiply.


I Gave My Love

I gave my love a rose
And she made from it a garden
Full of endless flowers
so sweet to the nose

I gave my love a tree
And she made from it a forest
Full of endless towers
As green as can be

I gave my love a tear
And she made from it a waterfall
Full of endless showers
Always flowing near

I gave my love my hand
And she simply held it in hers
Full and endless hours
And together we stand
