Poetic Genius (original song)

This is one of the few songs I've written that morphed from a poem into a song. This simple tune is based on a poem I wrote when I was much younger, entitled "Poetic Genius." I've modified some of the lines so that they can be sung rather than just read. Hope you enjoy it!

If I were some poetic genius
sitting on the veranda of the one I love
in the morning when the stars
just wont fade out yet
I think I'd write a little haiku
I would write a little haiku
I think I'd write a little haiku for you

I'd post it on the moon some night
when it's dark enough
for you to see it up above
maybe you'd just sit back and smile at
how much a silly little human can love

(guitar)

If I were some nomadic sailor
and I had to leave you on the shore
I have a feeling my heart wouldn't stop aching
so I'd write you a million letters
I would write a million letters
you would get a million letters or more

I'd post them on the moon some night
when it's dark enough
maybe you'd just sit back and smile at
how much a silly little human can love

I'd post them on the moon some night
when it's dark enough
for you to see them up above
maybe you'd just sit back and smile
at how much a silly little human can
how much a silly little human can love

When you sang "love" at the end, I instantly went, "aww," without thinking about it. =)

I would really like to download your videos and watch them on my computer, cos it's really hard to get on Youtube to watch online.

I listen to something you've done pretty much every day. The world is a slightly better place from your work.
