The Sad Siren Song

Her glassy eyes gazed up, somewhat worried, somewhat mournful, longing to leap above the waves, to sing that chorus of birds passing by. Longing for her voice to take flight, uninterrupted by ships sailing by. She wasn't born a killer; just...

Premium Member Plagued by Memories, Roll Credits, a SawTooth, Lyrics
The reality be told, it was not long past, Flabbergast by an unfold from my mind’s vague vast, In reflections of the accounts of my youth, Echoes formed, all claiming to be truth. Must be fabricated, they’re so over the top, Consulted a friend, a retired old cop, He said no evidence on the inquires I’d send, Crazies, PTSD’s, false memories blend....

Acta est fabula, plaudite
What I sing from my chest Only for ivory keys to hear. Are the same old words That cracked lips bear. That familiar tune that calloused fingers play Is the one that my own heart aches to say. I have plucked and I have strummed But when its my own heartstrings That are plucked for the masses Will my soul succumb or...

How to write a hit
Fingers so sore from learning the chords, Getting the rhytme without knowing the words. It all sounds so good here in my head, Blood from my fingers turning the fret board red. But I've got to keep trying, just carry on, Or the thoughts that inspired me will be lost and all gone. I've got to decide on the ideal...

Premium Member Just waiting for your call, A Stevie Wonder style ICU Grrove
In this white-washed room, time moves slow, Monitors beepin’ soft and low, I got tubes and dreams, but one thing’s clear— The only medicine I need is your voice in my ear. Nurses come and go like the wind through the door, But I’m anchored in a hope I can’t...

Premium Member The Music of Waves
“The sea casts a magic spell with the ever- rising breakers and the melody, the clanking of waves produce. It amazes us with the wonders hiding within its caverns. Without drawing any boundary or barrier, it rushes to touch or submerge everything on its way”--- Quote by the Poet. What engrossing feel overpowers me, As I loiter along...

Sailor song, my version
You saw me in a softened light Like something you could hold too tight But baby, I’ve been breaking slow You know, you know You kneeled like I was everything But love don’t come with angel wings And what you wanted, I’m not sure I owe You want me kissing on your mouth and loving like a sailor But I’ve been lost at...
