she walks bridges
he has so many reasons to love her
the girl with the smile that bewitches
he believes she is half mermaid
he knows that she walks bridges
she brings summer time in winter
one smile and the weather switches
a gentle breeze sweeps rain away
she laughs and she walks bridges
she floats through life with sparkling eyes
helps him taste a thousand mixes
shows him the way to renaissance
holds his hand as she walks bridges
she paints his world in colours new
she brings him love and untold riches
he is penniless but full of joy
watching her as she walks bridges
Click here to hear this poem put to music by my California-based friend and musician extraordinaire Kris Anderson:
The deed has been done
The song has been sung
Out of my mouth
It’s finally been wrung
But you should of asked
While I was still young
For it most likely sounds
Like a pile of dung
Laughing.
So where is it, dear Lady?
I sent the link but don’t see it listed here.
Can you email it to me please?

I love your poetry here. This woman has a feyness about her something that makes her unreachable. Also very much enjoyed this song almost a shanty but also a blue grass/country sound and it was neat that he worked some of your poetry in as lyrics but also repeated the line about her walking bridges. Was All put together effectively. Very neat stuff I’m looking forward to seeing more of your collaborations, and hearing 🙂
Hugs again!
Thank you, Amanda, for myself and from Kris.
I agree he did an exceptional job with the lyrics here, as well as with the music.
Hugs to you, sweetheart
Exceptional!
Thank you. I hope that applies as much to my friend’s musical interpretation as to my words
Haha… after listening to that, I feel the need to head up to the river and walk across the “Purple people bridge” from Newport , Kentucky to Cincinnati, Ohio. Maybe, I’ll even drag hubby along with me.
Remember to hold his hand as you walk bridges
Always and ever, Ce! 🙂
I envy both of you
This is beautiful! Love the song! Mermaid-approved! 🙂
The lady in the poem is, like yourself, a very special mermaid. I am happy you enjoyed her song.
That was beautiful.
Thank you, Dale
Beautiful poem Ceayr! I can only say you must be head over heels in love with her! 😀
A lovely thought, dear lady, but sadly it is now just a poem.
Beautiful poem! I really enjoyed this line “he is penniless but full of joy.” This line really sang to me too “helps him taste a thousand mixes.”
Thank you, Mandie. Please revisit now to see my updates, I think you might enjoy.
Oh! Now that was fun! I’m glad you invited me back to experience the changes. And it’s funny, because when I read it, I heard it as a song. That was fantastic!
Absolument magnifique 🙂
Merci, Gys. Si tu revisites maintenant, il y a les choses interessantes à voir.
