Longing for Someone
she weeps
silent tears
drenched
in hollow fears
clinging to the hope
that someone hears
weep with me until every last tear is
wrung from your dehydrated body
wrung from your dehydrated body
she walks
lonely streets
tarred
with groundless deceits
praying for someone
to know her foot beats
walk with me until the soles of your
shoes are stripped raw to the bone
shoes are stripped raw to the bone
she wails
anguished refrains
saturated
in hardened pains
wishing that someone
might pick up her chains
wail with me until your lungs can no
longer bear the fire searing their walls
she waits
for peace
if you could just weep with me
(to) wipe away her tears
if you could just walk with me
(to) sync with her foot beats
if you could just wail with me
(to) release her chains
you might just set me free
In search of inspiration, I have turned once again to a pom seed (x3). This is the second collection of three pom seeds turned poem. And interestingly enough, they both have the same dual voice thingy going on. Also, the first (When They Come) included a recording with a little audio toying. This one I took a step further to include overlap in the stanzas....what fun!

ReplyDeleteLove the sounds and the rhythms of the echoed voice answering the need. A perfect duet and a most wonderful poem.
ReplyDeleteWould make a great song lyric. Must be a blues though.
