Lithium Blues

..because I love the music of Evanescense..

 

 

LITHIUM BLUES

　

In this state

tears are welcomed relief.

I long to be a ghost,

whispery thin,

insignificant

in the scheme of things.

 

 

I live,

but drown in indifference,

pulled in the swirling currents

ruling this river of shadows

and meaninglessness.

 

 

In this state,

a spirit broken

and words unspoken,

tears are a welcomed release

giving shallow meaning

to a hypocritical existence.

Colored in all these

underground hues,

wallowing in the sweet aroma of nothingness,

I come alive in Lithium blues.

Sadness is the lonely wave trying to survive in an ocean of vast blue...A powerful write from your pen sir...:).........

Sadness can sure paint a deep shade of blue upon our hearts and our minds. Thoughts go dark but keep on swimming, tormenting us until we feel that wave of never wanting again wash over us. Very cool my friend. Love how you've played off of the music.

No reason possible, no questions answered......a state painted with darkness and deep navy blue. Not wanting to feel and not wanting to go through the motions of yet another day.....oh, Curt, you truly can emote, my friend. Sing those blues and know that I am swaying to the tune of your words. Incredible poetry! Lydi**

Ahh curt, seems as though our Evanescense conversation compell'd the two of us to write with their inspiration in mind. One of my favorite songs by the way, you made it even better, 'lithium blues'...yes, colored in above ground hues of curt, never a hypocritical existence in your pen my friend. Love this one to pieces!

100 whispery thin ghosts & much applause

yes, I went looking for this poem after we talked about Evanescense... hope it doesn't upset you but I am inspired by you, your poetry and by the way you also seem to love the music I do..hmmm.are we twins separated at birth??? lol..

[Frieda P]

Not at all, as you've pen'd yourself, tears are a welcomed relief, sometimes it's better to feel the blues than to not feel anything at all, comfortably numb is not all it's crack'd up to be. And poor you if so...haha ;-)
