A Music Inspired Poem for Marian ~~ a Tribute to her
Sweet Love;
save me
"Your sweet love is gonna save me" *
I been runnin' wild with the boys
Trouble has been my middle name
Jails don't fix me, out I'm the same
Your sweet love is gonna save me
Been runnin' wild, whiskey and gin
That's no help, I get wilder still
Jails don't fix me, out I'm the same
Your sweet love is gonna save me
Tame me good, I need your lovin'
Let us try, one sweet kiss goes far
Jails don't fix me, out I'm the same
Your sweet love is gonna save me
Slow me down and please take me home
Spend some time I'll make us coffee
Jails don't fix me, but your love can
Your sweet love can save me tonight
One kiss from you can make me tame
Please get to know me, I'm alright
We'll go slow, your sweet love save me

"Take It Easy"
Eagles Lyrics, 1972
https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/eagles/takeiteasy-1972.html
Well, I'm a-running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, I'm a-standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord
In a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby
Don't say "Maybe"
I gotta know
If your sweet love
Is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in
So take it easy
Well, I'm running down the road
Trying to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on, baby
Don't say "Maybe"
I gotta know
If your sweet love
Is gonna save me
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

This, written for Marian's prompt, will be the last here for the Imaginary Garden.
I wish her well, I know I will read more of hers as she posts them on her Facebook page. But I do hope, Matian, that you will write more prompts at a new home for you.
Note: I am on a writing Sabbatical until mid January. Also (1) my internet is Bonkers and (2) another interest is gobbling up my time. Meaning I still will try to return your comments but I am not always doing that for the duration.

Jim, this would make the perfect country song!! I like "jail doesnt fix me, out I'm the same."
Yes, I agree with Sherry...This could be a country song. Love can do what iron bars can't.
I hope were strumming the guitar when you wrote this Jim, It's very good!
Lets hope he got that kiss... :)
This is really nice, I like being invited to "spend some time, I'll make some coffee" and let's hope he fixes up good and fast!
Beautiful.
So enjoyed this one, Jim! You are creative as always ... even during a sabbatical.
This is so beautiful! It should be set to music!❤️
I do wonder... but there are a lot of girls who fall for the bad boys.
