I just scribbled this down.



The rain is so hard
To listen to
The sound of the water
Reminds me of you

You've longed for showers
To rinse your pain
You've never been afraid
Of the hard, hard rain

The cool air touches
The spots on my skin
That you left behind
For chasing the wind

I know the fire
Got way too hot
The anger, desire
And the way we fought

Call it passion for fashion
There was no escape
Now the release is drowning
My power away

I must stand tall
Like a tree from a seed
I must remember why
I'm here and relieved

The good memories stay
and the bad ones leave
The truth is the one thing
We cannot deceive

I wish someone would love me
The way that I give
If only living like you
Would grant me that gift

But what good does it do
If you don't welcome it?
What good is power to choose
If you never commit?

Beautiful

Very nice. You might want to establish a chorus verse and put this baby to music!

Vina

Yes, I just wrote it while listening to the rain. Just a stream of consciousness kinda thing.

Thanks! I was sad for a moment, but I feel better now!

Padstar said:

Thanks!

I've written a few others about this situation, but I was reluctant to post them. I guess I just wanted everyone to feel my pain, lol.

it's a beautiful poem...I hope you're not feeling blue

Very good, although sad indeed. I could never write anything like this. It would be a nice idea to put this to music, Vina! I hope you will feel better soon. In fact, you WILL feel better soon!

I think this is the first "new" creative output I've heard from you since checking in on a regular basis. Do you have any music brewed up with this?

I like it.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Jesus said those words above. I can tell you from experience, that your heartbreak will be fulfilled, and you will find love. We have the power to overcome negativity and heartbreak, and you are filled with love and caring.

Very nice poem, Vina!

Peace,
JD

No music with this. It's really just venting. I don't want to wallow in pain and make a song out of it. Just wanted to share it. Thanks.

I do have another thing I started working on when my boyfriend and I decided to separate... it starts out sad and I was going to develop it into a positive song about finding myself. I have the first part kinda done, melody and a piano part. I'll be working on that and a few other things once I get settled in my new place.

Thanks J. I really like that verse. Terrance Trent D'arby paraphrased that line once and I really liked it. It was something like "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." The most important thing for me right now is to love myself and take care of myself.

Sometimes I get anxious, because all my stuff is in boxes and I'm kinda crowded in my new living space. I had to put stuff in storage, but I'm looking at it as an exercise in priority and focus. I'm cleaning out the clutter and bringing more focus on me and my music. My studio is almost set up, minimal as it is... everything in my room is geared toward my music and my spirituality now. So anyway, when I feel anxious, I breathe and think of what I can do to comfort myself. It's hard right now because I'm in transition and it's really easy to fall into old patterns. I'm being very mindful of why I'm here.

Anywho, there will be lots more from me very soon.
