Single Beat Song
July 15th, 2009
It’s hard to know what right or wrong.
To go or flow with
-my heart’s-
-single-
-beat-
-song-
?
The shadows…
Sometimes they scream.
Sometimes they don’t.
Sometimes I listen.
Sometimes I won’t.
The path before me is strong and clear.
Laden and blocked with the things I fear.
Swim the current or be pulled along?
Once more I’ve returned to that
-single-
-beat-
-song-
.
Sometimes in near drowning,
We find our salvation.
Sometimes in fruitless swimming,
We’re gifted damnation.
This street says stop.
And that one says go.
Do you always follow socially accepted flow?
What if your heart spoke one language and your mind another?
Do you fall back on logic?
Or let the butterflies flutter?
It’s hard to know what’s right and wrong.
Until I do,
There’s only one thing I can do.
I’ve got to flow with
-my heart’s-
-single-
-beat-
-song-
.
Ooh, your blog looks different. I know you probably changed it ages ago, but that just says how long I’ve been away. I really liked your poem. I felt like I could easily identify with it because to me, it’s about whether or not your individual wants/needs are more important than the ones of the people around you. Which one do you listen to? Which ones are more important? Your poetry is always so interesting to read. I don’t know how you do it!
Nah, I only just changed it. Just posted a lot since I did but that happens sometimes. :) Lol, ya know? I don’t know how I do it either to be honest. If I’m trying to write something like this it doesn’t work but if I’m in a really emotional mood- bam! There it is. I’m glad you like it, choices are what moves us all I just wish there weren’t always so darn many of them. It was nice seeing you around, for awhile there I was worried you’d fallen off the blogosphere. :)
Hee, it did seem that way, didn’t it? I didn’t fall off the blogging sphere. I just got sick for a while, and I’m working full time at the moment, and yeah. I’m really trying to work on blogging more regularly, but I feel like every time I might be able to something changes to keep me from doing it. I just need to make it more of a priority, that’s all. I’m working on it. ;)
Well, just remember, don’t force it. If you make yourself ‘think’ you ‘have’ to blog it won’t be fun anymore and you’ll start treating it like work instead of pleasure. The words will come when the time is right, look at my blog for example. Sometimes I go weeks without posting and then bam! Three posts in a day. You need to do it when it feels right. :) Only then will the words flow truly. I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better, just remember to relax and don’t push yourself too hard- I’m sick right now so I’m not just saying this for my own benefit, alright? ;) Peace out, Chibi.
I’m not forcing it, but I really do have to make it more of a priority. That’s a big problem of mine; when it’s NOT a priority, I don’t do it. I spend all night laying in bed watching my big screen television and reading lol. I’m trying to get more into the online world again, because I’ve been feeling super disassociated from it and I really hate feeling that way.
Ew, I HATE being sick. HATE IT. I was last week and it was awful, so I hope you feel better.
Thankies muchly on the get well’ness. :) Lemme know if you need any prompts or ideas for posts. ;)
i love the use of repetition :)
Thankies. I seem to have a thing for that in a lot of my poetry/prose stuffs. I once used to try to write songs all the time because I could always come up with a well fitting chorus. Alas- no melody. Lol. :D
Beautifully penned.
Thank you very much and welcome to my blog. :)
