Array ( [sid] => 123706 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Sunflowers & Vivid Skies [time] => 2006-07-26 15:38:45 [hometext] => This was written as a song but it works better as a poem (in spite of the simple rhyming:) [bodytext] => Reminiscing over fears, I’ve buried through the years
And still I find myself trapped and wrapped
in time standing still
With but my visions and fading will,
I swore I would live above the world
But lately I’ve seen myself slip in,
Secluded in this earth-like hell
I await a life that will never arrive - I dwell,
Back then I fell through - now I fall unto - the ground in pain
Strained and despondent - I lie in bed - weeping myself to sleep
With sunflowers, vivid skies & her on my mind
Oh sunflowers & vivid skies
And her on my mind
Oh vast universes in disguise
And love on the rise

And still I find it hard to articulate my fears
When I’m around my peers
But with a bottle of wine
And her dazzling face on my mind
everything’s fine
And for a second of time
All my ineptness and sorrow is only words put in rhyme
Back then I fell through - now I fall unto - the ground in pain
Strained and despondent - I lie in bed - weeping myself to sleep
With sunflowers, vivid skies & her on my mind
Oh sunflowers & vivid skies
And her on my mind
Oh vast universes in disguise
And love on the rise
The world’s unkind - but I’ll never resign! [comments] => 4 [counter] => 159 [topic] => 22 [informant] => holstein [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )

the flow comes from the simple rhyming, i liked this, wish i could hear the music you had in mind, for some reason, my head decided to play it to kelly clarkson... not sure that was the desired effect! lol! nice write, i enjoyed it,

what does one have to do in here to recieve comments? Lol...

Anyway, if made into a song, i would say that it would be in the style of Jeff Buckley or Leonard Cohen, perhaps even Sarah Mclachlan.
