[hometext] => There is quite the funny story behind this, but I can't post it here ... come inside ... put your feet up and lemmie tell ya all about it.
[bodytext] => Authors Note : I was at a concert just this last Thursday, I saw the Goo Goo Dolls, and Counting Crows. Well, as the 'Dolls were on stage performing, I heard the whisper of a line form in my head. Now mind you ... I have nearly always got a writing utensil and a small notebook with me ... but I couldn't imagine needing them at a concert, so I left them behind. But this line ... "We're all naked underneath our skin" ... wouldn't leave me alone ... so I borrowed a pen and wrote it on the back of my ticket stub. And as I stood there watching the Goo Goo Dolls ... I had my own music competing with theirs, in my head. I had the first four stanzas memorized before they were done with their set. It was a most amazing experience. Oh, and by the way ... if like me, you were unaware of what the Counting Crows can do in concert ... They are incredible. I was totaly blown away !!! Point Of View You dress yourself Up in your own sin Ah, but we’re all naked Underneath our skin And I Can see Only you You try to hide Behind your eyes But the colors of your soul Can’t be disguised And I Can see Only blue You’re standing there Beside yourself Your feelings conveniently Placed on a shelf And I Can feel Only you Now you’re so proud Of your disguise It’s a multilayered tapestry Of interwoven lies That I Can see Right through And you fear your own reflection Everything it makes you face Decisions of the past Those memories time can’t erase Still I Believe In you Though you lost yourself Somewhere along the way And you’ve been searching for direction Ever since that fateful day Know I Can see You through And the grass is always greener At least that’s what people say When you live behind a wall And never open up a gate So I Can get To you Yes you dress yourself Up in your own sin Oh, but we’re all naked Underneath our skin And I Can see Only . . .

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
