Star, another great work of yours!  I would love to feel that free, but unfortunately there are so many boundaries around me...but I'm happy for you  |

Because we should honor love enough to give it a proper burial when it dies.
Wake Love
Mourn the loss forget tomorrow
Mourn the loss cloaked in sorrow
Bury your feelings that’s how it goes
Say goodbye and throw a red rose
Say a prayer for the dearly departed
Suck it up, the broken hearted
Love is fragile and dies too soon
I sit quietly my brain to gloom
Chorus
Dust to dust – the end has come
Ashes to ashes – loves death is here
Dust to dust – nowhere to run
Ashes to ashes – please clouds do clear
Bridge
He took my hand said it would be ok
Then held me close – survive the day
It’s ok to cry, the tears do not fight
Death of love always begets twilight
I need some comfort, please stay near
And tell me when the clouds will clear
Wake lost love – don’t be a coward
A single mourner in a silent hour
Take care the heart forever broken
Hope for new love, words not yet spoken
Chorus
Dust to dust – the end has come
Ashes to ashes – loves death is here
Dust to dust – nowhere to run
Ashes to ashes – please clouds do clear

Another great work Boston. You are a wonderful song writer. It is nice that Love can be given a proper burial when it dies. Many prefer to keep it with them in their souls...allowing the pain to rot inside them. Sometimes, you just have to put things to rest. Even love.

Thanks Star. This and Insane Love were very hard to write and very special to me. Hard to believe that I have come so far in the last 6 months and willing to share with others. Life certainly is full of surprises.

Boston,
It's very beautiful and sad at the same time...I love it
I've just recorded a new piece of mine...it's also very slow and sad, I can see them as a perfect match.

Dedicated to Tara. A good friend who left us this week. Love you, Tara.
Tears of a Woman
Do not watch my cry
You cannot help
You have no answers
I need to lift myself
My tears are from strength
Your mistake to think weakness
Need to release the hurt inside
And make room for sweet wishes
Chorus
I cannot fall
Who will pick me up?
Tears of a woman
Shed throughout time
Tears of a woman
Gods gift – she will survive
I have wisdom to follow the path
Strength to carry all that I have
Patience to forever hold your hand
Create that needed soft place to land
No matter – will move us forward
And love you beyond forever
Please give me time to heal
Shed tears so well deserved
Chorus
I cannot fall
Who will pick me up?
Tears of a woman
Shed throughout time
Tears of a woman
Gods gift – she will survive
Chorus
I cannot fall
Who will pick me up?
Tears of a woman
Shed throughout time
Tears of a woman
Gods gift – she will survive

 I like to think of this latest piano piece "Contemplaion 1" as a Tone Poem. It works well as a companion piece to Boston's writing. In addition, at the link you will find the instrumental "Outside The Window" which Star put lyrics to on another thread. They can both be found at this link: www.esnips.com/web/IWOmusic*Hosting Site Has Been Changed*

This one I wrote as a character. A tragic relationship that is at the breaking point, and both people are emotionally hurting each other. Finally one of them has decided to end it, and walk away.
Breaking Up
I have stood here for much too long...
Staring at what is left of our once 'happy home'.
There you are...so proud.
Coming home late every night.
Refuse to kiss me,
I am still here.
Never touch me,
I remember doing the same thing to you.
I know the truth.
Am I the stranger?
Are you?
I will not be subjected to this punishment of my heart,
just to make you feel better.
Don't I have needs?
I had them before I met you,
maybe I am not supposed to have any of those now too.
Why is it that I am wrong?
Society waits eagerly to tag a bright scarlet letter on my chest,
and I have done nothing wrong!
...or have I?
I don't understand reality any longer...
I cheated and so did you.
Fine!...Are we even now?
I just see a brighter future for myself...
you just aren't in it any longer.
Oh,I forgot...
I am not allowed.
How long have we been together?
It feels like years,
and it has been too many for both of us.
I am supposed to stand by my failing relationship,
pretend that everything is perfect.
You left me long ago.
Our bed a grave...
I wake up every morning six feet under,
wondering why I have to endure so much pain.
Hold my breath.
Lie to the world.
I refuse!
I will walk away...this is our breakup.

Star, if it's such a thing as a conversational-monologue,this is a perfect one! I admire you for not being afraid to experiment |

Ok...here are some of mine. They're really short.
Shadow
She goes to the deepest,
darkest corner
Away from all society
Afraid, alone, unloved
There’s no one there for her
Hair covering face
Head in between knees
She disappears in the light
She’s a shadow.
Ballerina
First position
Now a twirl
She leaps through
The sky
She’s a bird
She’s calm
And relaxed
With her
Pointed toes
And tutu
She’s beautiful
With her enormous
Smile
She’s a ballerina
Lost
I’m lost
I’ve got nowhere
To run or hide
I see all these face
Looking at me
Like I’m some
Kind of freak
Or just a stupid kid
With raggedy clothes
Messy hair
I’m lonely
I’m lost
Herself
She’s running
As fast as she can
But she can’t seem
To get away from
The thing
That’s destroying her
Life
One day at a time
She’s running
As fast as she can
From
Herself
Peace
I am a prisoner
Of a war between
Life and death
Good and evil
I may always be locked
Away in my cell
Unless people can stop fighting
I am a prisoner
Unless there is
Peace.
Lie
He’ll never come clean
No matter what
He doesn’t want to go
To jail to pay the price
Of the crime he did
Two innocent people died
A mother and baby Deven
She fought for her life
Scratched and kicked
Until time ran out
Poor Deven
Just a few moths old
Thrown from the car window
And rolled down a hill
Joggers found her
Called the police
Now he’s here
The one that killed them
And he’s not coming clean
He’s just lying
