The spice must flow and so must the ideas

So here I present you 3 short 'poems' I came up with while listening to some songs after a bad day. Nothing major or worthy of Poe but it'll do...

They're named after the song that inspired them, I included them in the brackets below the title.

Sav.


Cocoon
(Cocoon – Assemblage 23)

The inside, soft and protecting
The warmth and safety

The outside, harsh and cold
Enemies all around, preying on you

The inside, tight and comforting
Alone to gather thoughts

The outside, getting brighter
The sun starts to warm things up

The inside, like a brick wall
Keeping you from harm

The outside, inviting and good
Waiting for me to come out

The inside gives way, opening the door to the outside
But the outside is not as the inside was

I go back inside....



Mad World
(Mad World – Gary Jules)

As I walk the streets, do my eyes see
The world around or the world inside of me
Not one person looking up
Not one person seeing the world that could be

Halfway down the street, everyone in neverland
A familiar face calls out, raises up his hand
I respond without much joy
He cannot understand...

The world inside is strange to see
No one knows it besides me
Maybe one day, things will be looking up
And I can share this world if needed be

My face towards the pavement, eyes in neverland
I bite my lip and clench my hand
I can still remember joy
I just do not understand...



Illusion
(Illusion – VnV Nation)

Just when it’s all about to fall apart
That one person swoops in to save you
Like it’s an illusion

They make everything seem okay again
They put you back on your feet
But it’s an illusion

When the worlds is out to get you
They keep you safe from harm
Or is that an illusion

A private space for just you two
Where no one will disturb you
That world is an illusion

Your day is bright and shiny again
Nothing can bring you down!
Is this an illusion?

Separation will come, always
Time without the other
Please don’t shatter my illusion

I need you, or think I do
Everything seems darker without you
Rejoin my illusion

The way I look at me is not like you
You see me for what I truly am
I am an illusion
