Although this is currently a personal diary, I hope this blog will eventually become more of an online "coffee shop" where amateur or aspiring musicians/artists/writers can share ideas and offer constructive criticism.

Without You

Sunrays raining down on me
Givin' sweat to hide my tears.
Hidden, muted melodies
Lost behind the years
That I had without you.

Heat risin' from the streets
No sweet breeze comes my way.
Summer won't be my friend
It's loneliness everyday
That I have without you.

And I don't care if the gardens grow,
For no seeds I will sow.
Like you, the flowers will only die in the end.

And I don't want to carry on,
But still I will move along.
And wait for my winter to take me to you, my friend.

And no drink will end these dreams
Still I have one with a cigarette.
No blue sky behind those clouds
Only disappointment and the regret
That I live without you.

And still I live without you.

That is awesome!

Did you just do that or did you post it to express where you are right now!

Amazing! :)

Thanks, Ruksak. I could actually hear the music in my mind as I wrote it.

I submitted to a blog poetry contest, but I plan to actually compose and record the music to it.

Now, if only I could sing...

Take care!

Hey Diana!

Thank you so much for the compliments! Yes, I wrote it last night for a poetry contest, but as I was telling Ruksak, I plan to set it music. I've never written a blues song before, so it's new territory for me.

Thanks again and take care!

That's nice....I could listen to that with just an acoustic guitar...

Hi there, ZetaZen!

Hmmm... I might try to do an acoustic guitar version of it once I'm more proficient playing it.

For now, I better stick to keyboards if I want it to sound decent. ;)

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello Jenn!

Thank you for the compliments on my poem/lyrics! I appreciate the support.

I am just sorry you are going through a depressive period right now. Just know that I can empathize!

And no need to thank me for my comments - Just wanted to assure you that you aren't alone with regrets. That said, I didn't think your post was bad - Just very stream-of-consciousness.

Take care of yourself!
Drake :)
