Étoile à Chérir

Shedding some light...and some skin

[etoilecheri]

Everybody burns, and when it starts to hurt, I cry I feel it in my veins I just can't walk away this time

[etoilecheri]

Cause one of these days you'll be born and raised And it all comes on without warning

[etoilecheri]

my christmas song

feel it on the wind

see it in the lights

hear it with your heart

my christmas song inside

breathe it in you lungs

and let it soothe your soul

maybe then tonight

the world won't seem so cold

*

you don't have to fall

to know that life can bruise

but even if you slip

there's so much more to lose

winter makes us feel

like we are on our own

but every snowflake calls

the same grey cloud its home

*

if it doesn't feel like christmas at all

we'll still have my christmas song

light a fire and just listen, love

we'll still have my christmas song

[etoilecheri]

Show me something I can be

Play a song that I can sing

Make me feel as I am free

Someone come speak for me

[etoilecheri]

Passionless Today

I think see it over the horizon

I hear the prayers comforting the fools

I see it in the stars, look how they're shining

I hope that it's my passion coming soon

[etoilecheri]

There's not enough love and no one to give it to.

Perseids

In the darkest part of night, I am waiting for the storm. You can feel it's on its way, but memories keep me warm. The last time it rained like this, I nearly buried under ground. If my eyes are pointed high, maybe I won't drown. I know it's coming soon. The Perseids are never late. They can't outshine the moon. But I can't bare to stay.

Song With No Melody

Maybe if I didn't have the attention span of a sack of potatoes, I could sit down and write something meaningful. For the first time--last week--I really got angry with myself for forgetting a tune I made and really loved. I had the words written and melody down for a sad but hopeful little something. But as I was sussing through the melody of a possible bridge or chorus, the first medley I had thought of slipped away from me. Usually I can find the beauty in such things happening to me--some nonsense about the irreplaceable beauty of irreplaceable creation and how the loss is just as magical and mystical as the bearing. This time went down differently. I cursed, I screamed, I may have even kicked a few things. It just sucks. I don't usually get too excited about anything, especially nothing that I create. So when it finally happened, I was not thrilled to find that I had forgotten about it as quickly as I had thought it up. Of course the only way I could deal with this was by writing another song immediately afterwards with the opening line being "I'm a song with no melody". It turned into a cutesy, colorful something. Which is good, I guess…if you like to take intangible, meaningless emotions and turn them in to super tangible, meaningless words. I thought about just throwing away the piece of paper on which I scribbled down this melody-less thought. I crumpled it up and everything. Right after, I un-crumpled it, folded it up, and put it in a drawer. There's already so much around me that I keep unfinished, what's one more piece of paper?
