I have done it again muhahaha
Snippets About Self
Futile
My eyes are heavy
Wishing stones fruitlessly cast
In a barren well
*****
Dizzy
The earth does not bear
My polar revolutions
A warped gyroscope
A dance of self-destruction
Eternally spiraling
*****
Poet
Gravity stifles
I’m a terminal impulse
Bound for Parnassus
*****
Autophobia
I never thought myself beautiful,
Only unwanted. You’ll abandon
Me eventually, it’s as inevitable as
Breathing. How could I condemn
You for the instinct to survive?
*****
Imperfect
I don’t commit great evils only
Small ones with great frequency
*****
Haunted
My soul is too small
I hear it shifting inside
Like phantasmal chains
*****
Monster
I am not free inside this heart
That smells of cinders, the
Soldering iron application of
False Gods to a naked witness
I wanted so much to believe
I wore the woolen cassock
Over my head like a widow’s
Veil, I tattooed scriptures
Into my bones so that my
Blood runneth over black and
Righteous. I tried to make
Myself beautiful through the
Application of paint rather
Than the acceptance of self
And in end I became a monster
Distracted
Voltaic birds falling mid-migration
Into the crevice of some unknown
Latitude where I cannot retrieve
Them even upon retracing their
Precise trajectory. My thoughts do
Not arrive on time, they succomb
Invariably to the weather

While Isadora was playing in the park I was just scribbling nonsense in my notebook. I am in that low self-esteem funk again
Day 10 Music Challenge “A song with exceptional lyrics”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyW1xv9pvbE
I know I just posted two David Usher songs but this man is a phenomenal lyricist. While I like the lyrics of countless others artists part of the charm is in how the lyrics are performed with David I actually read his lyrics as I would a book of poetry. l I would love to write this beautifully
St Lawrence River
Smells on the air
See there it’s crushing the final impression
The stains on the paper
Where words fell like water
Unearth all the changes that never did matter
I think it’s beginning to freeze here
Caught in the rage and the fire of things
All the brightness that burns me
I’m fumbling through like a child in the dark
When the nakedness comes
I am shocked by the colour the glorious weight of your skin
Comes alive
And I never thought we’d make it back so soon
Might be nice
But I knew you’d be your own destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I’d make it up to you
Here please forgive me
Could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness
Held in the face of the things that I don’t understand
Intellectualize over and over
This helplessness suits us
Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners
Worn all our edges away
You are watching breathing and baiting
Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
For some simple signal to creep cross your conscience
Uncover redemption and oh did I mention
I carried you down to the St. Lawrence River
The banks running dirty the water’s beginning to freeze here
Solid by morning
And I’ll freeze here
Winter by morning
Comes a lie
And I never thought you’d get me back so soon
Might be nice
But it’s only if my own destroyer
Comes alive
And I always knew I’d make it up to you
I saw on your face such a curious grin
As I let go your hand
I was desperate to hold you again
But you’re sinking so deep in the water
Outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted
Solid by morning
What I wanted
Winter by morning
Comes alive
And I never thought you’d make it up so soon
Night be nice
But I always knew you’re my destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I’d make it up to you
Solid by morning
And I’ll freeze here
Winter by morning
