Back Again

Just wanted to come and share some more poetry. This is one of my faves that I've written... As I post more poems I'm realizing how often I draw inspiration from music. Anywayz THIS ONE is from the time when I was jammin to Lauryn Hill's unplugged album. I love the Track "Water" and so here is my translation. Enjoy =)

You could be like the water
in that you quench my thirst
But the thrashing &&crashing of your memories waves
Only leaves me hurt

I thought I could move on
&& just leave you in the past
But just like water always does
You seem to find your own path

You seem to trickle back into my life
Not in a storm but a slight drizzle
&&it's like I'm in a whirlpool of you
because I'm caught up in the middle

You seap through the boxes I put you in
deep within my mind
The ones I lock &&block
&&try to cast off to the side

But you leak onto my surface
&&bit by bit you absorb
Then you pour through the windows of my soul
like through two open doors

&&though I think you vanish
you prove to always be there
When you're gone for a while from sight
you're like vapor in the air

Then as you condense
you hang over my head
But the constant terrential downpours of you
are truly what I dread

I suppose you'll slowly be diluted
by outside irrigation
&&I'll gather droplets of you in my soul
from my heart's precipitation

But I assure you I will no longer hurt
from your acid rain's oxidation
&&no longer will I search
to feel out your underwater vibrations

The levels of the pastHeartbreak you caused
will slowly start to diminish
When I find a waterfall of hydration
that will never appear to be finished

My current is now strong enough
to carry me day by day
&&soon the memory of you
will be completely washed away
By fresh water. <3
