Sitting besides the river I write and I write, Pouring inside my heart and soul, Lights and laughter surround me, Smell of wine and whiskey breath, Drunken men fighting over dancing women, Faces look at me , white yellow and black, An alien among them , they give each other secret mocking glances, But I write and write, Past , present , future Waves whispering secrets, Singing a new song each time they kiss my feet, So proudly they sing , like a songwriters dream, Water reflects a million faces , a million years , So still ,so dead , once long ago… I wait and breathe. Until tall buildings begin to fade , laughter dies I am all alone, wind blows dust in my eyes , bringing tears But I write and I write, running out of past present and future, As the world shrinks before my eyes, No more roads , but muddy tracks, No more cars , but people walking, I am at a place I want to be A life I will always seek, Where mountains grin down at me, Lovers holding hands.. Playing mates hiding behind shadowy trees, Yes….That where I belong Where I want to be .. So sitting besides the river I write and dream.A |

faith, this is excellent...very well written and expressed...the emotional imagery was as evident as the visual..great work!! jm You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name And know my love and my desperation were one and the same... Baby it's alright... Take this pain and all this sadness It's alright Take this rain You're going to be free... Jackson Browne *I love you baby* |

wonderful poem. what i took away from it was that sometimes i wonder if i should stop writing about how i want things to be and actually go and make them happen. i feel like sometimes i hide myself in the pages of a journal and if people could just see the me that is in those pages i would be seen and accepted and heard and loved. thank you for sharing. aimee Trust I seek and I find in you. Everyday for us something new. Open mind for a different view, and nothing else matters. --Metallica |
