Roleplaying is one form of creative outlet. Short stories and roleplay posts are similar, but what about the long used verse? This is a poetry challenge. You may use any style poetry you wish as long as you utilize the given quote somewhere within your poem. It can be the entire quote or parts of it, so long as it's recognizable. Have fun, be creative, but don't feel limited by the content of the quote. Expand and let your muse free. I think they meant it When they said you can't buy love Now I know you can rent it A new lease, you are my love On life, oh my life ~"I Will Cover You" Rent
On life, Oh my life, The life of which I never learned. The life of which that faded dry, And all the bridges that I'd burned. To my son I'd ask forgiveness, To my love, I'd ask her Hand. To all the Lords of which I'd played, I'd offer back their land. I'd seek solace in the friendships, Those ships I'd left behind. Sailing on a distant sea, A younger me did find. It is here that I must leave you, From this bed of which I lay. I pray you do not roam as I, I pray you seize your day.
When they said, "you can't buy love" I believe that they meant it But I am also pretty sure That you are able rent it If you give someone your love You should get theirs in return Now I'll sign the lease to your heart Because for your love I do yearn
They say my heart is young. They say my love is incomplete They tell me we cannot be one I don't think they mean it They tell me I cannot own her That her heart will never be mine That I'll die on a quest to have it I think they mean it. I see our hearts grow closer But never are they one Leased, but not owned I know they mean it.
Lessons for Life Man pursues power, positions, possessions, and prestige Such a bottomless appetite he will never appease. Love cannot be bought, based on wealth love will quickly sour, If money is the only quality, love can be rented by the hour. There is nothing without faith and love, compassion and sacrifice, Futile is living with a negative lease on life.
