you drip away baby
through the blues///new shoes
you slip away
along my shifting seams
the landscape re-arranging re-enraging
same old themes
you drip away baby
through the blues///new shoes
you slip away
along my shifting seams
the landscape re-arranging re-enraging
same old themes
was it
was it <> we-spent
was -it-<<>>-well-spent
was it mine at all?
shifting seams baby
same old themes
I'll fight not to give you that
tender hurts
I'll have to fight not to give you that
you drip away baby
cold blood on warm skin
just slip away baby
from underneath and in between
same old seams baby
shifting themes
tender hurts baby
you drip away
as you remember me
as I remind you
you rolled in it
your role in it
its role in me
complexity
for the heart unbroken anymore
for my hearts not broken anymore
still you haunt me almost flaunt me
stroking the back of my mind, now my mind is revolving
you drip away
through the blues///new shoes
you slip away
along my shifting seams
you slip away
a long day daze smoothed
out
into one big line of excitement
I'm all built
to explore further virtues
almost like the shadows stepped back
leaving one big white patch
and I froze
fingers allbent sharp not sure what to do stay
still
I'm thinking about staying still
got a little gap of serenity
my ears are gliding
on the thermals you create
my shields colliding
with the aliveness you awake
lots of thoughts i guess
its still tomorrow
i'm just re-watching re-peating the pattern
and singing in the background
your sweet voice surrounding
even if these thoughts run into others
its O.K
they can clash in the corridor
like two arch-enemies and still
find a way to continue walking
in the opposite direction
but maybe only for today
amongst all this generosity
that leaves me crooked, crick in my back
I'm surrounded by things to make and do
and the tools I need are all here too
so what am i waiting for
waiting for nothing
but its an endless comfortable place
not exactly a space
strange night
I dont remember the daylight
just the weight and the pressure
and the grace of the measure
deadline
straight line
she twists like I was me
walks past pouncing.
time
and your still there
still in my hair
long enough to catch you
strong enough to match you
look how
its wrong
these little tiny pieces
i wished
i'd payed attention
cared to mention
how sly the cut
how deep the wound
took a while to find to drip away baby
I wished
i'd saved the tension
through the blues///new shoes
you slip away
time falls sideways
slowly
she never really came back
first time she opened the door
she knew what it was for
and she kept walking
because she never had before
there were circles
kept on bringing you back round
but she never really came back
first time
she landed running
fast and straight
time falls sideways
slowly
through the blues///new shoes
you slip away

you know...i love the blues..and i thoroughly enjoyed yours..great flow...loved the refrains and give you ten points for the title...smiles
ha...wonderful titling...and the things you do with words...oo la...love it...and yes the refrain is nice...long, but you keep it engaging so rock it out...
Blues stanzas are addictive - the deeper you go, the more you know,
new shoes, resting farther down into those inky blues. Well done. Thanks for writing and linking!
Wow....long...but you played the words so well that you kept me glued....I read each word...each line...intent on the ending.
shifting seams baby

I'll fight not to give you that

I'll have to fight not to give you that
I love these lines!
Dear, This. Is. Fucking. Brilliant. The rhythm, the repetition--superb. I can totally hear this with a blues riff beneath it (someone get on that, huh?) Fantastic.
blues clues,
how cool..
divine word play, smart poetry.
Invite you to write something based on the image you see,
Hope all is well.
Thanks for the attention.
Appreciate your input.
Cheers.
