Should I infuse into your dying deep roots A change to your feelings deep inside for me Maybe the ink gumming up in its waste Maybe a life, overflowing distaste But there is something I cannot fathom Something I would like to outshine Maybe it?s love, I cannot define Maybe it?s Luna in silent sad cry When I could not know what I wanted to be I mused up a pen and wrote you a song You didn?t care much, so I threw it away I?ve been searching and will find it someday The kinks in my heart are the rhythm and beat And you are the Valium that rocks me to sleep If I die will I know, the words to this song Will it change my life that I sung them so wrong After seasons of doubt and withered withouts I come calling to see my flower is dead I revive her with words sprinkled from head Her heart heaves and sighs, crestfallen, instead My paper is fading and the ink is a river The rain still falling and the banks over flooding Whisper the words to your song you have found And plant my feet further in the goodnight of ground Defibrillate my need for your rasping breath To exhale down my neck and take away death If the words could be heard by all of the world Would we be anymore dead than we already are There?s a beat in my heart and words to be sung I?m a one-man band and I play this for you Trumpet these words and sing them so loud I?m in love with you and I?m proud [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 05-01-2001).] |

Hey Walt, this one consumes me! "Valium that rocks me to sleep," is tranquillity. It seems as though you kinda wanna put the reader to sleep and then, BLAM!, wake 'em up with the trumpeting sound of "I'm in love with you and I'm proud." I pray that your "stuff" is contagious and I get bitten by the poetry bug. Grateright! |

Poignant, soft as a hammer wrapped inside a velvet glove and simply superb writing. "I am not now that which I have been." |
