As I have found myself in avoidance of my literary desires over the last several years (many do not know that a dream of mine was being a writer/lyricist/poet), when the spark ignites here and there, I try and gently caress it into a brighter flame, to at least maintain some of that skill set. But, once again this evening, I am finding myself pen in hand and just...writing...and this is what I came up with. Just a girl and her notebook. Just a pen and some words on a paper. But my own creation, nurtured into existence. As with the poem earlier, reflecting the heavy loss of today and my world, here are the words that I can spin into a story. May some random pop singer make them famous one day...
"Favorite Moment" This numb heart Doesn’t know what to feel A colored past Can I believe it’s real Your words A dream or reality This side of me I rarely let people see Now I find that your life is entwined with mine. Just another favorite moment drifting by So I seek Out the experience Now I’m free To live out the perfect dream My bright light Has been living in the shade But by your side I just don’t feel any pain With you near, there’s no fear, and for now we are aligned. Just another favorite moment drifting by Music Interlude With these storms I dance in the falling rain Take my hand And let me show you the way You’ve crawled deep Under my gentle skin And I love How I can just let you in With no risk, there’s no gain. And with you, there is no pain. Just another favorite moment drifting by Music Interlude I just love Living this innocent I feel like We’re more than just intimate All these words Dreaming of brighter days Intertwined Brushing the ache away We rebuild, with hands skilled, and our goals are all the same. Just another favorite moment drifting by My bright light Has been living in the shade But by your side I just don’t feel any pain You’ve crawled deep Under my gentle skin And I love How I can just let you in With no risk, there’s no gain. And with you, there is no pain. Just another favorite moment drifting by Just another favorite moment drifting by.
