Tonight she needs some arms To hold her fast while she sleeps, Anxiety clenches With steady and strong claws These days. Rigid week taking its toll On the frayed edges of nerves. Needs someone to hold her While she cries for no reason. Simply for the pain that has no source. Needs someone to hold her While she goes temporarily insane. One night of tears And tomorrow cleansed. Tense smile endeavors As she looks in the mirror And figures she's growing up too fast. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

I love this. I know those feelings all too well. So grateful for a husband who holds me. So many small and vulnerable feelings roam around my mind, all lost in darkness until the touch of his hand... Well written. |

Soft, tenderness personified, Temptres... Take Care, Sincere regards, Sudhir My heart is pounding, my stomach's inside out I'm feeling kind-a-shaky, my mind is full of doubt All I ever think about, is fearing fear itself, Wish I could unscrew my head and put it on the shelf Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Don't know what I'm looking at, the lights are all too bright My brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor Sweep 'em up. Throw 'em away, don't want 'em anymore Clouds race across the sky, day turns into night, Still there are the questions, no answers in sight Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Starin' out the window, everything is just too bright Brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor, Wish I could unscrew my head, and kick it out the door... You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange ~ Strange ~ Joe Satriani (Flying in a Blue Dream) |
