More Poetry

I have been on a complete poetry high. I just can't get enough! I have filled two notebooks to the brim with lyrics and poetry since my band has formed, and I love going back and rereading it all. I still get inspired, make little changes, and sometimes I take a few songs and cram them into one awesome, super-song! I have been on a bit of an Alice in Wonderland kick as of recently, so the first few lines caught my eye for obvious reasons. Amusingly enough, I was first inspired when petting the bunny in my yard. This just came to me:

We fell into the rabbits hole
And out through a looking glass.
This wonderland is dust and sand,
The hour's come to pass.
We've waged our war and now we're torn apart.
I'm coming clean, but I can't seem to start.

My delicate love, you're frail as a child.
Youthful darling, you're eyes are shining wild.
You're the farthest thing from tender and mild.
You fall asleep wide open.
You know I want to come in.
So give me the key and maybe we'll be alright.

Slipping under your dark spell,
Your voodoo tastes so sweet.
The dizzy rush of your velvet touch.
I linger in defeat.
We've waged our war and now we're torn apart.
I'm falling faster, I don't know how to stop.

My delicate love, you're frail as a child.
Youthful darling, you're eyes are shining wild.
You're the farthest thing from tender and mild.
You fall asleep wide open.
You know I want to come in.
So give me the key and maybe we'll be alright.

This is designed to be somewhat of a back-and-forth dialogue between a girl and a boy. I have come up with part of a melody for this, but I am still working out some kinks.

Ahh, I just love this wonderful form of expression! It gives me a certain feeling like nothing else can. Words are insanely beautiful, and I love having the ability to string them together in ways that describe what I'm feeling. Sometimes I actually don't even know what I am trying to say, and that's okay. As long as I get it out there, right? I encourage you all to write, write, write! It always helps me decipher my emotions. You might be surprised at what you find!
