Poetry / Spoken Word From SV
Watch
There's something sad about a watch thats stopped. Once loved, now hidden away, its beauty denied a chance to shine, its purpose diminished.
I don't know why I always look at the time on a stopped watch. What happened at that moment, what was significant.
A death, a change, a period of isolation?
Maybe nothing at all but, nah, I can't believe that.
A motivation, a chance to place significance in this most precious of vessels. Memories infused into each link, love forever captured.
So important, but still irrelevant, at the end of it all.
For now, motionless. A relic to former glory, a homage to past, a signal of the future. It rests now in the present.
Like a pocket watch tattooed between roses, even a stopped watch tells the right time sometimes.
Rainy Days & Journeys
At the edge of town, then out. Into no mans land, somewhere between hills and concrete. Villages hiding scoundrels and treasure, lurking pretty between town and city.
Driving down single lane tracks, past ghosts screaming from every hedgerow. But they didn't know, I gave myself the opportunity to change and grow.
Finally, I arrived at sacred ground.
Whispering in my ear, words came to me as I stood alone, describing my pain, snow and slow tears giving way to gentle rain.
I took those words, and I wrote them down, because I didn't know what else to do. Because I couldn't contain my feelings about life and about you.
Because between there and here I'd made mistakes. Kept heading up those downs, when it should of been around.
Pushed everything away - out of mind, out of sight. Maybe I knew I felt this way all along, and I was just gathering material for a poem or a song.
Maybe, I just wanted to remember you.
New Day Ahead
Watched you sleep, full of hope for the new day ahead.
When you sleep and your peaceful it lifts my soul, I feel ok again.
I kiss your forehead and tuck you in, murmur then rest, settle and calm again.
Trace the lock of blond hair and tuck it behind your ear, soothing motion, a sigh, then relax again
I whisper night night sunshine, I love you, gentle truth spoken into the night again.
And I leave feeling peaceful, full of hope for the new day ahead.
