Lonely Owl
The Java Mamma’s Monthly Challenge, January 2009
I truly do not believe
That the sun melts into the sea
Otherwise the water would be boiling me
Slowly evaporating your memory
Instead I stand here
Staring at the cold water blinking at me
Through waves of shimmering light coming from somewhere
That I do not belong though I see everything except who’s calling my name.
Who, is calling my name? is it you
Who, is calling my name?
I have now decipher your flying pattern
Into a lock of hurting words
Even though my feathers ache from angrily shaking
I still extend my branch of love to you
As I stand here
Staring at the cold water blinking at me
Through waves of shimmering light coming from somewhere
That I do not belong though I see everything except who’s calling my name.
Who, is calling my name? is it you
Who, is calling my name?
Still I stand here
Looking at the cold water blaming at me
Through your waves of shimmering lies coming from your stare
Where I am always wrong still I can’t see anything
Except You.

This is a great poem and I can definitely see how it translates to song as well. Your imagery and metaphors are well selected and I love the breaks of “Who is calling my name? is it you…”
Well done! Can’t wait to hear the music applied to this.

Aww thanks Lisa =)
If you show up on the 29th, I’ll give you a sneak performance, because this is for The Java Challenge, which is the 1st week of February.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks =)
