there are times when all the words I have ever known
just run clean outside my head
fragile, frightened, faint,
possibly forgotten?
unsure of self
unsure of it all
watch out your insecurity is showing
I search for you
I look for you
cool blue
looking for those dark eyes
pools to swim in
excited at the prospect
been so long since I have heard that siren's sweet song
can you read my thoughts?
will you tell me your take?
just a bit of sweet conversation
cool blue
thief that comes in the night
steals hearts with a sigh
engage my mind
give me words to contemplate
think of it
melted dark chocolate
on my hands and face
painful pleasure crushing
weaving me whimsical
in dreams, in nights that melt my sky
the fog is so dense
can I see you?
and oh, I saw you cool blue
is this another dream
in the long laundry list of my mind?
up all night
endless wondering about a song
smiling, laughing
exhausted
note to self: get sleep

awesome!
Melinda, did you read the first variation on this theme? There is a link included. I am just grooving to this song. Oh my!
I need to reread this again. I find it very intriguing especially after listening to the song. Good write
I love Joan A, and will definitely listen to this one.
Karen, Joan Armatrading is among the few who truely writes to a woman's heart. I saw her in concert and then met her. She was actually quite shy.
I love her stuff:) Thanks for the cool variation:)
Thank you Rose! How to pick a favourite Joan? She has a song for all moods. There was a time in my life that "Tall in the Saddle" helped me gain perspective.
Thanks for turning me on to something new. I've never listened to her before.
Dana, you are quite welcome. youtube has many really wonderful live performance videos of her songs. I just love her music, as I said it just speaks to my heart.
Joan just simply scatters inspiration hither and yon~beautiful write to a beutiful song
I have never heard this before, glad you shared it.
Beautiful and sincere, dear Chanochka - thank you so very much for another great contribution to "Music Everywhere"!

LOL Always, Paul

I'm beginning to wonder if your narrator is searching for God or a soulmate. Or perhaps both?
Thank you for posting to The Surreal Circus.
