Guess what? I've got more writing to share with you guys.
Here are two poems I wrote that I intend to use with my guitar. Or someone else's guitar. And actually only one of them is done. And they are influenced by artists like Madeleine...something or another...and Norah Jones...maybe a little KT Dunsten. Actually, I don't know if that's right. Hmm. Well, you should also know that the second one isn't finished. I've got half of the first verse and a chorus. It's not much, but it's a good start, I think.
ALL THEY SEE
I feel like a wind chime
Or maybe a guitar
Perhaps I am a clarinet
Or a piano at the bar
I'm making simple melodies
and people listen on.
And though I'm hollowed out inside
All (that) they see is song
Gentlemen in the corner
They laugh and wag their tails
They point out my mistakes and flaws
They make me weep and wail
Yet here I'll play my pretty noise
So they can listen on
And though I'm hollowed out inside
All (that) they'll see is song
How long 'til my hollow fills?
When will my empty end?
Can people see through melodies
And finally comprehend
That I am hollowed out inside
Or will they just see song?
I guess I'll play my pretty noise
Since they just listen on
I'll keep on making melodies
'Cause all they see is song
MY WORDS
...
...
Staring out the window at the green side
Can't figure it out, believe me I've tried
Fishing for a feeling
But I'm shuffling 'stead of dealing
Where are my words?
What's on my tip?
My tongue holds still when I want it to slip
Where are my words?
Why don't they rush out?
I can't even whisper when I want to shout
Where are my words?
Oh! And I don't know if I posted this yet, but I thought of this in the car this summer. I'm trying to figure out ways to expand it into it's own cheesy song:
The sun's breath is kissed by the wind
I can feel it on my skin
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
The moon glances softest beams
They wrap around me or so it seems
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
That's it. No real news. I don't have a terribly hard work load. I just need to keep on top of it. The hardest part about school and work right now is how often I have to keep in contact with people. And I still need to put the finishing touches on a photoshop project for a friend...dang. That's like a week overdue. I need to work on writing things down in my planner...

are you okay?
have you tried the first song with taking the word "that" out of the last lines? i could just be tired...or perhaps you love it that way...i was saying it outloud and i think i like it better as: "all they'll see is song"...
other that that, or rather, even with that... i like them a lot..except it leads me back to my original question: are you okay?
yeah! i'm fine. i'm great actually. and i want to take that out. thanks.
you know, if you ever write one that you like enough, reba mcentire doesn't write her songs because she wants to sing the best ones and other people write better than her. it was on an interview. of course, you'd have to like country music, or money, or both. i just like reba.
