the day is black with soot
and the aching of my hear.
i do not belong in this place.
i am not meant for this world.
i am streetlamp
corner bum
(wearing converse
and thrift-store
dime clothes)
who sees the stars
as white stains
on some other lover's
lace.
and i weep
for wanting to
sing
in a world
that can't hear
my key.
wouldn't hurt
so much to belong
if i didn't think
your fingers felt
so good in mine -
like ocean salt
in summer wind
on the beach where
i sleep.
if i could eat music, i would consume the world.
amazing experience #1: hls and the cawz @ the u-trun. saturday night. somewhere around 9 pm until 12pm. the most amazing form of music i have yet to feel live. the words they spoke, the music they made, the way they danced - their souls around them - and the way you knew they loved each other.
free your soul, they said. and i did. and it was amazing. and i'm going back on friday.
they think the things i do about the world we live in - the things i never found words for. her voice rang like crystal wings in silver water. they were amazing.
amazing, amazing, amazing - the whole experience was amazing.
i want more. more. more more more more.
this is my song of redemption!
love me like you love the harmonic resonance of two guitars. i will resonante the same lovestruck e string if you do. i will vibrate the same harmonic level - i will be your contagious cold and love.
heard your voice on the phone and wanted to be near you; then i remembered that we're not supposed to be in love anymore, and wanted to cry for you.
listened to toad on the way home - it beat with the drops of rain on my windshield [winter gives another final call] and the drops looked like my tears.
why does it feel so wrong to miss you?
Paper doll lashes will keep out nightmares of failure. Will not let the world bring me down. I will keep my head held high on these city streets and in this ocean breeze. Will create something beautiful, do something meaningful. Will get back to me. Will buy that pink wig at Madhatters, and remember how powerful it makes me feel.
