We have some devil prompts this week for Song Lyric Sunday, hosted by Jim Adams! He has given us Cruel, Evil, Horrible, Monster and Wicked. My choice is Wicked Game by Chris Isaak. I hope you enjoy it.
Lyrics The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart) What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you What a wicked thing to say you never felt this way What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you And I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No I (this girl is only gonna break your heart) (This girl is only gonna break your heart) Nobody loves no one Written by Chris Isaak

Stirring in the early dawning Dream-making while slumbering Disturbed and awoken to the sound of Tap, tap, tap A tumulting fanfaring of a bird Eavesdropping in Looking for the spot where he will drill Grubbing and Bugging for his breakfasting pleasure He commences his Woodpeckering in earnest His day had begun long before mine Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Bjorn is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and he has prompted us to use nouns as verbs. i.e. "Verbing" Here is my attempt!

Footprints stolen by the sea Voices drowned by gulls Words carried away in protest on salty winds The beach keeps its secrets of ghosts from the past Sweeping away remnants of life and love without a trace until there’s nothing left but pristine sand Although here among the driftwood and starfish, your essence lingers still Your presence is felt, always Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Word Prompts Protest - Word of the Day Nothing - FOWC Image by Christina1966 from Pixabay
