Poem Commentary

It's a lyric. and played with the same reggae style as...(and kinda inspired by, got the song stuck in my head, lol)


And You Know What I Mean When I Say

Moments seem to pass and I can’t tell that’s happenin’

Hours flowing by with a breath of a second

But none of that matters, baby, when we are talkin’

You match every detail with a divine precision

And all I can say...

 

I’m waitin’ for the moment when time is no longer

And the hours will be seconds in divine wonder

Angels will be weepin’ with jealousy together

But none of that means enough to even matter

And I’m here to say, yeah...

 

You know just the right words to say

To say to make me smile, make my happy

And I will ask for no other moment

No other way to pass the time’s flowin’

 

And you know what I mean when I say...

 

God never told me ‘bout joys of these times, yeah

And nothin’s gunna stop me from expressing what’s mine

I don’t know how, don’t care ‘bout time flyin’

‘Cause nothin’ matters when I’m feelin’ this fine

And I just gotta say...

 

I’m tellin’ you now, ‘cause I don’t got a way

To find the words to describe myself these days

Guess I’m a lot dumber than all them say

But here’s my best shot, anyways

And I’m just saying

 

No matter what the words you say

You’re gunna make me smile anyway

How could I ask for another moment

Another way to keep time from flowin’!

 

And you know what mean when I say...

 

Everything’s gunna be fine, now

Long as I got you to be mine, now

Just keepin’ tellin’ me it’s gunna alright, hey

‘Cause it keeps gettin’ better everu day, hey!

 

And I can't think of what to say

But I know you’re gunna smile, be happy

Never leave me with another moment

‘Cause, darlin’, with you lonely days are passin’!

 

And you know what I mean I say

Love is you……….

 

……….You and me

Nope, actually it was supposed to be "jealousy" not "jealously." But same diff, still typo... I'm amazing. Thanks, man

one weeps in self pity, jealousy usually invokes anger and treachery or violence........as a general rule. jealous angels weep together, plundering mens hearts, fallen forever..................angels have certain traits historically, self pity follows jealous actions when they discover it is in vain that they rebel and dont get the attention they desire from god. the only thing angels are jealous of is us. anyway I wont bother you about it any more.

Eh, it's not supposed to be totally logical, even poetically speaking... It's just supposed to sound good. Had I been trying to be logically(if poetically logical) I'd've used a different phrase. It's supposed to symbolize the beauty of angels being jealous of the beauty of this particular love. Make sense? It did to me in any case. LOL

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
