If my feelings where a song!

Have you ever heard a song and thought it could sum up what you feel?

Well I believe that "Little David Boy" (David Fonseca), had me on his mind when he wrote these two songs.

Both posts are a token of my appreciation for his work. Thank you very much!

Search Me Not - Silence 4

The pain, the lies, they multiplied
It got too much for me...
I have locked myself inside,
And swallowed up the key
I've closed the lights
I talk all night, I'm such good company
Don't call me home
I've cut the phone; I'm as I wanna be...

Search me not! Please, search me not!
The door bell it hurts my ears
I've nailed my hands to the ground
I feed on in my blood and tears...

I, have tried to socialize
It always got me down
Deceived and hurt by the ones I loved
Why should I stick around?

Search me not! Please, search me not!
The door bell it hurts
I've nailed my hands to the ground
I feed on in my blood...

Search me not! Please, search me not!
I am living such a beautiful thing!
I've nailed my hands to the ground
I'm growing myself some wings

I like to be alone
I do, I love the loneliness

If my wishes where a song!

Take Me Away - Silence 4

How long will I keep this candid camera smile?
My muscles hurt, I'd better rest for a while
Breathing is the only thing that keeps me alive
All this oxygen, crushes me, and leaves me so tight
Let me out...

My pain is leading, I got no control from now
Don't try to help me, I don't want to put you down
All my reasons will be misunderstood,
I wish you well, in here there's nothing good

My heart is rotten with all the worst kinds of diseases
It tries to be better but all it can do is bleed
I'm so tired of myself

Oh God please take me away, oh take me away, and bring someone else

One of my friends believes in what she reads
And she's always talking about the end of the century
But listen, have you ever stopped to realise
That if it happened there would be no one, but no one, to feel alone?
No pain at all...

I should be going, so much damage I've done
So many tears and still a lot more to come
Excuse, don't push my wheel chair
I don't want to go anywhere

My heart is rotten with all the worst kinds of diseases
It tries to be better but all it can do is bleed
I'm so tired of myself

Oh God please take me away, oh bury me away, and bring someone else

Alone, I don't care
And now all I remember is the smell of your hair

An Haiku Poem by Jenn

Spring Storm

In the middle of snow flakes, one black crow huddles. Maple buds cracked white.

Sadness, Loneliness, Pain - Haiku Poems

My heart is screaming My mind is celebrating. This divided self.	The power is out. I push, my body resists. I can go no further.
Morning or mourning The day that dawns brings new grief. First light, then shadow.	Must break the silence This empty space inside is Louder than a scream

Haiku Poetry

What is Haiku?

Haiku is one of the most important form of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Since early days, there has been confusion between the three related terms Haiku, Hokku and Haikai. The term hokku literally means "starting verse", and was the first starting link of a much longer chain of verses known as haika. Because the hokku set the tone for the rest of the poetic chain, it enjoyed a privileged position in haikai poetry, and it was not uncommon for a poet to compose a hokku by itself without following up with the rest of the chain.

Largely through the efforts of Masaoka Shiki, this independence was formally established in the 1890s through the creation of the term haiku. This new form of poetry was to be written, read and understood as an independent poem, complete in itself, rather than part of a longer chain.

Strictly speaking, then, the history of haiku begins only in the last years of the 19th century. The famous verses of such Edo-period (1600-1868) masters as Basho, Yosa Buson, and Kobayashi Issa are properly referred to as hokku and must be placed in the perspective of the history of haikai even though they are now generally read as independent haiku.
