WORD UP! Wednesday: May 4, 2011

This is the first WORD UP! WEDNESDAY! Basically on Word Up Wednesday, I talk about words. Quotations. Lyrics. Phrases. Words. This WORD UP!, I thought I would post a poem(ish) I started writing some time over a year ago. I still can't think of an adequate title. So for now, the piece is going to be called:

All for One

I kind of knew love

I thought it was mine

So I waited my turn

To fast forward the time

From your hazel eyes

To your silver shoes

Though I was just a child

I had frosted blues

Then I met another

Colored in a gray sky

What goes and comes back

Makes this all aligned

Summer rivers and streams

Have settled our score

Rooted like a stone of love

We’ve shared before

I would sit in my room

Love and hate on the brain

And I’d set it on fire

Inhaling every flame

I didn’t grow tired

Left no musical cue

‘Cause I wanted to wear

The crown with one jewel

I run in the lakes

You bathe in the sands

That one time in the snow

I just didn't understand

Such a weaponless soldier

A catch yet to find

Oh the pages we turn

With the writs that we rhyme

And years from the first

First and hopefully last

The one that stayed around

Uprooted its past

We'll hold hands in fours

As we share our eyes

We'll dream in these moments

Until its realized

Now if your wondering what the heck I am talking about, it's a story about four people in my past, present, and future. It's kind of like a riddle. A four-part riddle. Okay, not really. That's all I'm going to say. So it's no fun to reveal the real meaning behind its contents, at least the real people. Maybe I will later. I don't know lol. It's open to interpretation :)

WORD UP!
