In Deep Waters

In deep waters

I feel the fishes

Swim round my ankles

Like destiny.

In deep waters

I feel the ocean

Wash in over me

Like fallen tears.

 

In deep waters

I am the shark

The lost and lonely

Misunderstood.

In deep waters

I am undone

Safer out at sea

And not your shore.

 

And as I swim to you

Or the shimmer that

Rises from the swell

I hear the water’s song

The sweetness of its voice

Which calls to me.

 

In deep waters

I am the one

The swollen ocean

Your well of tears.

In deep waters

I feel the whisper

The words that settle

Like destiny.

 

In deep waters

In deep waters

In deep.

The Prize

Tags

creative, lyrics, poems, poetry, Prize, writing

I see you shine for everyone

I see you in the light

Cast me in your shadow

A dead star in the night.

 

Waiting for the sacred moment

The touch I used to know

A fragment of your love

Enough for me to grow.

 

And I’m just left here wondering

Would you still walk on coals,

Lay yourself wide open

Or simply cross the road.

 

Because you’re the prize

Yes, you’re the prize

That I could never hope to win,

Because I’m the prize

Yes, I’m the prize

That you could never hope to win.

 

The mirror mocks my watchful eye

Sees things I cannot see

The look behind your eye

I think was meant for me.

 

And I’m just left here wondering

Would you still walk on coals,

Lay yourself wide open

Or simply cross the road.

 

Because you’re the prize

Yes, you’re the prize

That I could never hope to win,

Because I’m the prize

Yes, I’m the prize

That you could never hope to win.

 

Because you’re the prize

Yes, you’re the prize

That I could never hope to win,

Because I’m the prize

Yes, I’m the prize

That you would never wish to win.

Nighttime

Looking at you there

Laying on the floor,

Never thought such little time

Thought there would be more,

Eyes that see right through

Packed your thoughts away,

Never found the words I need

Thought I’d more to say.

 

Sun chases dreams

Across the sky,

We look for wings

We try to fly,

And we won’t let the nighttime

Steal the hope from our hearts,

 

Time shows its hand

Sweeps us aside,

Seducer of all

Love’s promised bride,

But we won’t let the nighttime

Steal the hope from our hearts,

 

Face falls away

Etchings of age,

Bodies so frail

Burning with rage,

And now we feel the nighttime

Steal the hope from our hearts,

 

Looking at you there

Laying on the floor,

Never thought such little time

Thought there would be more,

Eyes that see right through

Packed your thoughts away,

Never found the words I need

Thought I’d more to say.

Slow

Slow
Slow me down
As I spin
To the ground,
You
Held me up
With your words
With your lies,
I
Cannot see
Cannot feel
What you feel,
Fall
Let me fall
From your arms
From your mouth,
Blood
That you spilled
On the sand
Not for me,
Hands
Scratched in time
Hold the pain
Not from me,
Taste
Taste the air
As I slip
From your stage,
Slow
Slow me down
As I spin
To the ground.

This is a song by the band  In Letter Form who released just two albums before the death of their frontman.

For me, some of their work initially seems quite derivative ( but that could just be down to age!), but, seeing beyond that, they definitely had an emerging voice of their own.

This track is Edison’s Medicine.

Enjoy.

Something

Well I was older

Than my days,

Playing out my time

In middle ground,

Living like a monk

Unholy days,

Checking off the hours

A voice without a sound.

 

You gave me something

On that we are agreed,

Gave me something real

And not something I need,

You showed me something

Yeah, opened up my eyes,

Showed me something real

Brighter than the skies.

 

Well I was younger

Than you knew,

Killing every second

Assassin’s eye,

Leaning from the edge

A life askew,

Safety’s middle ground

And comfort’s easy lie.

 

You gave me something

On that we are agreed,

Gave me something real

And not something I need,

You showed me something

Yeah, opened up my eyes,

Showed me something real

Brighter than the skies.

 

Well you were stronger

Than you knew,

Living in each moment

Open eye and heart,

Captured every image

Living in the new,

Never knew your power

A perfect work of Art.

 

You gave me something

On that we are agreed,

Gave me something real

And not something I need,

You showed me something

Yeah, opened up my eyes,

Showed me something real

Brighter than the skies.
