we are all connected by our fingers

we are all connected by our fingers

A Poem by Billy

embrace the distortion. let it fall over you. let it drown you.

distortion shimmers, wraps itself in you.

wear nothing but the sound. let it unravel you till every knot is undone.

 

take a step from atop the silver, bubbling sea. the world is whirring by,

i feel much lighter while you are around.

 

your skin is a bubbling blossom

you're pink, you're starry eyed, your skin is a

pink like autumn when the leaves fall

 

we are all connected by the tips of our fingers.

 

you are soaking wet, drenched in sun down to you're lilting bones,

and the sky is pouring down

her body was lithe and bright,

made of color that she twisted and lashed with the ferocity of an ocean

 

i am given the feeling of driving

or what it might be like

as the music is building higher and higher

and the night is a blur with the snow in my eyes

in the air is a feeling, though i have transcended it

as sand is a cloth for the slumbering earth

as the music is causing the road to expand in front of me

everything is shorter than it has to be

 

and in the peace of simplicity

she found her love. that it was about

her, in the draping of her hair

and the growing of the flowers in her eyes

 

the pirate ship, with its sails black and aloft, was taken by the sky.

it flew as though it had wings. 'godspeed you!'

yelled one, and with that the ship was sailing through the clouds.

it never looked down. it only rode the waves out past the horizon.

it never looked back down.

 

the noise is so loud. it is a flood of bright light. it is filling up the world.

what i see isn't what's really there.

it is so loud; it is so bright. i am blind and deaf,

but i believe my words are reaching you. it is the world,

and though i cannot see it for the noise, i feel it

with my hands. or who's hands?

are they your hands? they guide me safely through the world.

Brilliant imagery.

The only thing is, with the third stanza: "you're pink" and "you're skin is a pink". You basically just said the same thing twice.

"As the music is causing the road to expand in front of me"
"everything is shorter than it has to be" This doesn't seem to make sense, because you just said that the road is really long, basically.

"Distortion shimmers, wraps itself in you" My favorite line.

Uh, yeah...my attempt at a review. Feel free to send me hate mail if you don't like it in the slightest.

See ya.
