Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

I want to write

Not about the moon and the stars

The soul and the taste of fresh strawberry kisses

Actually I kind of like the taste of fresh strawberry kisses

But I want to write

About the moments in between the good times

The tears that come from the inability to breathe through the laughter

The candle lit, open window, clean house breezy goodness of our days

The glance that insights questions and gives you the shakes

The way you felt the first time you heard that song that became your anthem

I want to write about the opposites that create hot and cold

Dark and light

Wrong and right

And that exact second where everything simply meets up in the middle

Yes that is where I dwell

In the land where there is no such thing as dreaming

Where color seeps out of every surface

Thoughts flow through lines of poetry

And love is divided freely

I want to write

Capture the images my mind creates

Take long baths in roses, milk and honey

Humming melodies in the quiet perfection

While sitting still in the middle of the day

And find a way to stay there

Return back to this world I have created

With nothing more than the tip of my pen

Yes

I want to write

Basking in the freedom of this quiet perfect solitude
