say no to clowns

Posted on August 5, 2018February 18, 2019 by saynotoclowns Posted in Poetry

He was on his knees

rowing around her,

tears pleading,

she floating,

her lips silently

moving

composing her symphony and compiling literary

moments he was desperate to understand

the ache to the point of unbearing

but she knew he just needed help hearing/hearting/breathing…

she ever so gently

throws the life ring

  Hi! Thank you so much.
  I was inspired by a couple of songs, that in the end, neither of them were exactly what I was going for.

        yes, I totally believe that…who was it who said, if you want to make God laugh, just tell him your plans. haha
        but I use music so much, I decided it would be okay without for a change!

  Thank you ❤
  A combination of things. That pain, there’s nothing quite like it.

  Hi Maria! How are you?
  I was going through some Missy Higgins music, but I decided not to name the songs and just let the reader interpret as they wish, as it was a combination of things. 🙂
