I have been a songwriter for years but just for a band that never achieved any success. It was never about achieving anything other than recognition. Not in an arrogant way though. All I wanted was for my words to touch someones soul and make them feel something. Thats why I find poetry to be a great form of expression and emotion. There are no rules on stucture and choice of words. All that matters is what you have to say and thats why words are so powerful. I want my words to make a difference to somebody. Even if it is just one person, just one.
The stream of comforting words,
That flow from your lips
Are my guide when I wake.
...
Among the streets of fire,
Where metal monsters roam,
Melancholy Molly
Dreams of the life she'd known.
...
I hope to see you all
At the end of the day.
In the heaven's light,
Your faces will glow
...
In these violent dreams,
That do repeat
These silents sounds
Make my spirit weep.
