Song

I have a ton of favorite songs, ranging from R&B/Soul, Light Rock, and Alternative.  So choosing one would be very difficult.  I grew up listening to R&B/Soul because my parents have a lot of CDs of that genre so if I HAD to pick one, that would be my favorite.  Artists like Brian McKnight never get too old for me.  I also really like light rock because it has a similar theme of music to R&B/Soul.  Artists like Richard Marx, (even though he his not around) The Fray and John Mayer create music that I enjoy listening to.

But the one song that really strikes me is called "Anytime" by Brian McKnight.  He is a great singer and also a very skilled pianist.  McKnight is one of the only true artists in this day and age.  Growing up, I used to listen to his songs as I wrote most of my poems.  His soft, romance, and heartbreak style of music always gave me ideas when writing.  Here is a poem I wrote 4 years ago...

 EVEN MORE

I want to know you even more.
More than your beauty and smile.

You encase yourself in a shell.
Not wanting to open the door.

You smile, then walk away.
With nothing more to tell.

I sit and watch you walk.
You move with grace.

Your hair flutters in the air.
How I wish to see your face.

I see you every now and then.
I want to see you often.

Everyday and every second.
But, I know that will never be an option.

So, I enjoy every chance I get.
Even if I only say one word.

And even if you say nothing.
Those are moments I never forget.

"What do you hold in?"
Maybe the world is not ready.

You are the angel who finally chose to descend.
With me lucky enough to be your friend.

I chase after you, silently.
Maybe I am crazy.

I hold my feelings in as time goes by.
Fearing you would reject me.

With fear of it being too late.
But, as long as you are happy.

I hope to find you someday.
"Could it be?"

I want it to be true.
And I hope you feel the same way.
