Raise Your Hand For the Fire Brigade

Draw a Smile on the Window

Let the light change

and go forward into

the rain

(the title says it all)

Can you see the blue on my tongue

or the lines on my wrists?

you can't see the faces in our photograph

because it's all (curly) hair

Will you write the plot line to my life

and I’ll just fill in all the blanks

 

I like the taste on my lips

I like the girl in the painting

I like all the pretty colours

I like my nails that got ripped off

 

Are you horribly dead?

is that why you've been MIA

Should I call a SOS

are you tired?

 

Lets go someplace else

Someplace we can see the sky

'cause in the sky is stars

could you see the revelation in my eyes?

What is this urban jungle?

Concrete Paths in the wild places

 

Now I’m healing

the blue is fading

(you be pip and I’ll be squeak)

you can't paint fairies

(you're not allowed)

and so with this we get a close up

of your face

 

You try to steer clear

but somehow you went wrong

and now you got to pick the up the pieces

up off of the carpet

 

She wipes away the nail varnish

makes it perfect

looks over her shoulder

thinks like she's being watched

She don't know she's being watched
(Cause who would like to die alone?)

 

Dear God?

Are you sleeping?

I hope not, you gotta lot of work to do.....

 

Raise you hand

for the fire brigade

don't write like you talk

have you got the writers numbers

(wouldn't want to run out of ideas)

Into the rain

 

And now the smile on the window is fading

 

(yes god you got a whole lot of work to do....)

I love this. It conjours up so many images inside of my head. I particularly like:

Draw a Smile on the Window
Let the light change
and go forward into
the rain

I look forward to discovering more of your work.

there are a lot of great ideas here, although it seems to go off in a few different directions, I particularly like the double meaning to certain cliched phrases and the fourth stanza.
