Four O' Clock, High.

Meant to be read over this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=dYQ_lse44gQ&feature=related --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i. [clockwork rage] goddamn dried up everything even my saliva is wooden you don't know it how homeless and strong I am unbreakable and so dry everything ii. [no air] can't sing no more can't form the words but I pray smoke heavy smoke thudding against your window like a goddamn pigeon wrung dry all our necks bared and strewn about like dirty socks this body is a long white stranger death can't feel much different halfway between stood up and fallen iii. [a whole heart, a whole heart] but watch this watch me leer at the pretty girls watch me stick to the sidewalks unwashed unrecognizable I'm dancing with fingers and with smoke laid out like so a dead fish reeling under the stars I'm strong so strong now I tell you when you walk by with another face another face another face but you never listen anymore. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is me reading -> http://vocaroo.com/?media=vbcUNSaOwuB4v7AVl

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

First of all... I LOVE MUMFORD AND SONS, infact my favorite song for them is Little Lion Man :) Second of all, your poems are so sincere... They remind me of Charles Bukowski's poems. He is my all time fav too. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PIECE! I mean, wow. The words.. and the feelings are so profound. Also, I have integrated music to my poetry.. Mozart's music inspired me to write my latest. I am forever a fan of yours :) Will be checking out more of your stuff! God bless, Maya *
