Two with a link in the titles...

Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near

and..

Spread the calm to meet the others
Pleasure fills with love 'til dawn

Spread the calm - First picture of you - The Lotus Eaters

Evening all 😘

Here’s another themed collection...

80s
A passion course that leads to pain
An acid taste that laced her soul again

60s
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high

60s
“There's no time to lose, " I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away

70s
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see

70s
You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze.

70s
But now she sits there at that beer stained table
Dreaming of the things she never got to do

70s
I don't need love
For what good will love do me?

60s
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair

80s
Output failed
Request debug
Improper request
Request debug
System debug freeze
Your memory is volatile

90s
Am I the weaker man
Because I understand
That love must be the master plan

70s
The girl in the cake
Jumped out too soon by mistake,

70s
was your father as bold as the sergeant major
How come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet

70s Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see

Diamond Dogs - David Bowie

Good morning!!

One from me, from the 80s

“Playing the part of a real troublemaker, but I didn’t care.
He really moved me”
