Icicles and Bruises

 

 

I cant do this, I feel like we're crazy

I can't do this, It makes me so crazy

And am I the only one, who hears the solemn

beat of a drum, and thinks of your heart beat

 

Yeah all the leaves fell from the trees but

We couldn't know, the way we pushed against the breeze

Oh we couldn't know, that it might be time to let go

Oh Baby, just let time flow, around your fingertips like

The murals you paint

In black and grey

What are these days, but darkness and frosted haze

 

I guess I didn't look at you the way

That I used to, Didn't grasp your hands as

Delicately, Didn't hold your body, weakly

But I swear,

Its just the weather, Darling,

Only the weather...

 

And seasons pass just as fast

As those winding Appalachian springs,

So in the meantime

We'll bask in the dim light and the

frozen tenderness this winter brings

 

So you wrap your calloused fingers around

that wounded heart of mine

Have we ever been...Out of touch?

I think not, you said, but I saw

You didn't smile, very much

 

And though the wrinkles formed around

the corners,

As our teardrops fell down with the snow

I wondered why we were even born

I wondered of the substance of our lives

Somehow I found myself persuaded that

It really didn't matter anymore

 

Oh and you found comfort in that heavy, Ohio rain

I saw you dancing in my dreams, you had forgotten my name

    Oh how could I ever know such pain?

This was only part of the puzzle, No

This was all part of a scheme

Everyone is coming to get me

All of their faces are green...(screams)

WoW! This is Hella intense!
Flawless. You have "it".

[Marie Harrison]

This is a great song. Could actually visualize it being played on the radio on a hot summer's day at the swimming pool.

i was going to say this sounded in my head like a song...it would be nice if there was a way to record these and play them on here...i wrote a few and would like to share what they sound like with music

[Robin]

I wanna hear .. :)

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good story in the poem. Would be a good song. We need music with strong words and story. The description was amazing. Create a vision of a cold and lonely day. A outstanding poem.

I was going to say even before I read your author's note that this had the flow of a song... glad I caught onto that. This is all around great writing, the repetition wisely included in spots of importance throughout solidifies an image of broken hearts and a memory (or memories) that won't quite fade. Your words bring the reader to the peaks and back. Chilly up there, isn't it? Well done.
