Original Song Lyrics/Poems
Ok....since I really haven't seen any major posts on this subject, I've decided to start a string for those of us who write Lyrics and Poems. So if you're a writer like me feel free to contribute to the string.
Here's a taste of my writing (yes think Funk when reading it)
Back On My Feet
By K. Mackendry
I see the dark clouds rising
And this body is quickly sinking
I need something fast
Something that’s beyond the horizon
Because
(Chorus)
My feet have stopped moving
There’s no music to groove in
I need that boogie down beat
To get me back on my feet
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Back on my feet
Thunder rolls in the distance
So I’ll lead the resistance
But mundane music is taking hold
So I need a little persistence
So DJ can you help me because
(Chorus)
My feet have stopped moving
There’s no music to groove in
I need that boogie down beat
To get me back on my feet
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Back on my feet
(Bridge)
Hey DJ play this song
Play this song all night long
Hey DJ I’ve got to groove
I’ve got to groove all night long
My feet have stopped moving
(Hey DJ play this song)
There’s no music to groove in
(Play this song all night long)
I need that boogie down beat
(Hey DJ I got to groove)
To get me back on my feet
(I’ve got to groove all night long)
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Get me back on my feet
(Hey DJ play this song)
You’ve got to get me back on my feet
(Play this song all night long)
Oh Yeah, Back on my feet
(Hey DJ I’ve got to groove)
Now I’m back on my feet
(I’ve got to groove all night long)

Here's a poem I wrote recently as well
A Fall Afternoon
By K. Mackendry
On a lazy hazy fall afternoon
Lying around with nothing to do
Soaking in the sun
Feeling the warmth through a stained glass window
Children running in circles
Cat at my feet
My love busily working
On a lazy hazy fall afternoon
My soul feels at peace
My heart is filled with joy
I find myself complete
On this lazy hazy afternoon

Thanks VI...here's some more:
Better Plan
By K. Mackendry
There are mothers crying
There are children dying
There are lines being crossed
There are dreams being tossed
People are lost
And their souls become the cost
Disease, hunger and widespread greed
We need to be careful, we need to heed
It’s time to slow down
To make what was lost found
Because Armageddon is one step away
And we can’t afford to play
(Chorus)
Come on take my hand
And I’ll help you to understand
Come on take my hand
Because we’ve got to come up
Oh we’ve got to come up with a better plan
There’s a war going on
Oh yeah baby it’s the biggest con
People turning on one another
Not willing to discover
That we’re all in the same boat
Just trying to keep it afloat
It’s time in this urgency
To declare a state of emergency
Because hell is where we’re bound
If we don’t turn things around
Peace is what we need
Because children need to feed
(Chorus)
Come on take my hand
And I’ll help you to understand
Come on take my hand
Because we’ve got to come up
Oh we’ve got to come up with a better plan

Just Gotta Move
By K. Mackendry
Oh baby, baby, baby girl
Can’t you see what happens to me
When you set my soul free
Can’t you see what you do to me
So innocently
And it’s time to move
Dancing to the groove
Because I gotta
Just gotta move
No cares, nothing to prove
Just my body moving to the groove
Oh baby, baby, baby girl
Can’t you feel it
Love and music that just won’t quit
Infectious sounds waiting to be bit
Looking for anything but the exit
And it’s so time to move
Dancing to the groove
Because I gotta
Just gotta move
No cares, nothing to prove
Just my body moving to the groove
I have no demands
Angel within my hands
And heaven in my feet
What a way to meet
On the floor
Then out the door
Looking for a little more
Looking to score
Dancing to the groove
Because I gotta
Just gotta move
No cares, nothing to prove
Just my body moving to the groove

I had to translate these couple of songs originally written in spanish, so... if it doesn't make sense... sorry
Untitled 68
A Tree grows in the middle of the square
How long will it last
Modernity that displaces it
Impotence of those that love it
A bird that looks for and doesn't reach
To live in tranquility
Man that consumes and doesn't stop
Until there is nothing more
Think a little bit about nature
Our mother x2
An animal of the forest is just a prey
It has to escape from home
Man that destroys the habitats
And it will never reconstruct
River with garbage arrives at the sea
Do they think it will never finish?
They harm him and they never think
In all those that later will come
Think a little bit about nature
Our mother x2
Untitled 74
See, it is the light of the world
That is extinguishing
What do you do against that?
You keep lying yourself
The mass is moving
You don't enter
They need your strong arms
Your potent voice
You cannot be indifferent
Say what you feel
They need you
You cannot remain silent forever
We’ve been in this many years
Little achieves
We got fights among us
We don't unite
The fear suffocates them
It turns them cowards
They got you under control
It may be late
The first is very funky and sticky... it would make such a great first single if someday i'm able to release it with my band. The second one is slower and is played with three acoustic guitars and a contrabajo??? (don't know how to say that in english)... i like this one because it is played in a really nice japanese scale.

All around is silent
So quiet that your blood
Thunders in your ears like a mighty river
Your heart playing a rhythm like a tribal beat
Your breathing: gentle & light
Fills the void like the sound of a gentle breeze
Yet not relaxing or reassuring
The emptiness echoes in your mind
You long for an interruption
A sound or welcome distraction.
When the sound comes
The tones resonate hurting the ears
A distraction, someone to share the silence
Make the moment less solitary
Turn it into something special
Create a memory
Accustom yourself to the pitch & tone
Of the welcomed sound
Acclimatize yourself to sharing
The precious moments of karma as
The silence & loneliness
Fade away like night at daybreak
As it embraces you in its warm touch. |

Regardless
By K. Mackendry
(chorus)
Darker and deeper my thoughts go
It feels as if my heart
My heart has been ripped from my soul
And I've been so lost from the very start
I can feel the chill of winters bite
The leaves are turning in autumn's twilight
And it must be confessed
Don't know if I'm damned or blessed
But I live regardless
I walk the Earth
Ever since my birth
But can't seem to feel
As if this world is unreal
But I live regardless
(Chorus)
Darker and deeper my thoughts go
It feels as if my heart
My heart has been ripped from my soul
And I've been so lost from the very start
I place my hand in the flame
Just to feel something
There's no one to blame
It's just emptiness I'm feeling
But I live regardless
Don't feel pity for me
For I don't wish for your kindness
This simply is self-indulgence can't you see
I choose for this overwhelming blidness
Because I live regardless
(Chorus)
Darker and deeper my thoughts go
It feels as if my heart
My heart has been ripped from my soul
And I've been so lost from the very start

Untitled Peace
By K. Mackendry
Tall as the mountain in the clouds
Small as the seed in the ground
Wide as the Ocean stretches
Thin as a single rain drop that the sun catches
I feel as one with all creation
Clarity becomes a realization
And in a moment that will be lost in time
I find peace while writing this rhyme

The sky gloomy and unrelenting
As the occupying clouds mass together
Heavy in their time of despondency
They sigh in unison and
Their breath gently teases at my hair
As their emotions swirl around my body
I feel a sense of compassion for them
I reach towards them as they release soft tears
I feel the coldness against my warm cheek and
I hear as they cry onto the earth below
The gentle, hollow thud as the tears start to fall
Onto the parched ground below
Like the strong shoulder of a loved one
In times of distress
As the clouds sigh & relax their tears fall to the ground
Like an unrelenting flow
The tears of a baby as they roll down their cheeks
Fat & heavy: each tear holding a dream
Once full of hope they crash to the ground
Shattered & splintered |

Reason to Live
by K. Mackendry
Taking all that I can
While life is still within a breath
Nothing has gone according to plan
But I'm still out of reach of Death
I've travelled far and wide
My heart has nothing to hide
So take me as I am
Because there's nothing more to give
I'm fierce as a lion and quiet as a lamb
Your love has given me reason to live
