Marble eyes look out
Peering at the world around
Dismayed at the sorrow

I am a river
My family built and maintains me
My parents the water fall
Pouring their love,
giving it to me in abundance
My brother the gravity
Pulling me forward,
Keeping the water moving
My older sister the path
Watching over me, giving guidance
My younger sister the fish
Keeping me company
Perhaps I can lead her to clearer waters

Some people dream big dreams,
but that's just never been me.

Maybe just living by the sea
delivering mail as the sun rises to greet me
giving  a big smile to those that I see
my hair dancing in the wind like leaves on a tree
cause there I could be free, my best version I can be
and that's all I need, that orange hue fantasy
I don't feel that greed, just my honest plea
to live somewhere I can truly be Happy

I used to fear what I could be some day
How I was always locking emotions away
My world view turning darker than gray

Yet, while my heart was encaged
My soul was enraged

Revolted by the world I seen
My spirit raged, fierce and mean
Deserving of judgement, we the unclean

I took everything I had not to Intervene

Hello poetry, such a fitting name
Because despite how long, its always the sane
When I hit that bottom or just feelin low
Its the place I return too, the place that I go
And its always waiting, Just waiting to say:
Hello

Ya know.. I had actually forgotten about my darkness.
Or perhaps i had it locked so far back in my head i could just ignore it.
Ive been doin well lately, really well.
But then. I had a dream.
I let myself fall.
I heard people say you wake up when you fall in a dream. Or that you wake up before you hit the ground.
I fell the whole way.
It didnt hurt hitting the ground.
I just sat there thinking
'that didnt help..'

jazz-tone keys on chords for backup

I wish I had a tounge of silver thread
Creating silky landscapes with every word thats said
Weaving rhymes into smooth glittering bars
While My tone, like an accompaniment of  jazzy guitars
8 fields of vision always seeing whats ahead
Setting up shimmering lines while your being misled
Creep down the bridge gettin ready to pounce
Then drop in with a solo
makin everybody bounce
proced to absolutley shred on sax*
