Daddy Bear Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 swimmer lost against the currents all-too-everyday occurrence drowns for lack of self-assurance dirty word indeed this hand closes tight with rage that hand flips to final page cue the trap-door on the stage shelter me from need oh, that we were children in the arms of mothers dear snuggled at the bosom of content wiser, sadder, lonelier and older every year this is not the way we thought it went everybody's slowly getting bent sound and color lose their pop harvesting a bitter crop start me up and make it stop please don't let me bleed just a speck of something new sparkling with morning dew i pick it up and find it's you a precious tiny seed falling to my knees and i am scratching in the dirt i throw aside the weeds to make your bed hoping for a poppy to arise and end the hurt all i want, a single spot of red blooming in the dust bowl of my head come on, baby come on, baby come on, beauty flower, come on Link to comment

TheRedQueen Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 The content is incredible, however the cadence and the rhyme scheme are a bit off for me. Link to comment
