Kuna's songs

Wow. ITs good. I like it.

vortex

body hits water
descending
and suddenly the freedom of the air
drowns
just drowns
and i know by now i should panic
or fight to live
fight for air
ha, air
what a foreign concept
(but strangely appealing)

in the blackest liquid
the water has its way
taking me farther and further
until i accept that i may
never
find the air again

and then, finally
the air just
appears
but the water won't relent
it throws me hard against the sharpest of rocks
again
and again and again and again
mixing blood and sea
why?
why can i never escape this vortex?
all i had wanted was air

the rocks slam into me again
more pain, more blood
and it occurs to me
that i don't know
if i am the body of flesh
or the body of water
am i the victim here?
or the violent force of nature?

bridge

i stood there for the longest time
pacing
over slats of wood
fingering the match in my hand
i saw the green on either side of me
and i didn't know how to get there
i just knew that i was no longer
content to stay
where i had been
the stagnant wood was not enough
i wanted something green
something alive
so finally after i could pace no more
i struck the match
watch it burn until it hit my fingertips
surprised at the pain
i dropped it
and everything lit up so quickly
the bridge went up in flames
around me
keeping me from land
the flames took everything from under me
it was too late when i realized that
i, too, would fall
tumbling end over end into the ravine
followed by the burning debris
that i created


anderson and lincoln

i have memorized you
every laugh line
and every moment of the day
your wants
your favorite moments
the look in your eyes that says you are angry
or just merely annoyed
i know just how to push
or when when to back down
but i have no idea how to let go

you have memorized me
my favorite things
the way to turn a frown into a smile
the way i take an idea
and turn it into a determination
you know every part of me so well
to the point that i wonder
if i am so transarent to everyone
or if you simply
pay more attention to me

[SuperKuna!]

elementary, my dear watson

i choose the earthly version
with dirty hands
and a crux that fell
with twilight's flesh
it's the ground i can barely walk on
but willingly fall
repeatedly

breathing is cliche
but so damn essential
and my lungs can never seem to get enough
it comes in waves to me
every word
every word
melodic

i stood in shock
one perpetual moment
the most terrible, the most awe inspiring
i remember that warmth
i want it back
even if i char your soul
black like mine

these are shallow pools
mossy green and brilliant azure
it's the only request i've made
that was so willingly fulfilled
more than once
you can burn me or trap me
i don't care

[beanqueen]

That last one is pretty amazing...the words just burn into your soul...wish I could hear the music it goes to.

[SuperKuna!]

thanks!

penultimate

i inflicted the first damage
not that i didn't have help
i ran
headfirst
into that brick wall
over
and over again
i grew tired of pain
came to see you
you brought others
and an axe you called a band-aid
the judge swung down
leaving a single tendon
still intact in my neck
so that healing would be slow, methodical
and if i came near one more time
you'd finish the job
and for a moment i would spring to life
then die forever

[DJSuperBrandt]

whoa, back again?

el paraguas

i just want an umbrella
to keep me dry
i don't want the sunshine to push away the rain
it would burn
and i don't want a fire
because honestly i don't know how i'd keep it up
and a shelter's too hard to find
and too drafty anyway
i just want to stay warm and dry and cozy
wrapped and secured
but you can't do all that
you're just an umbrella
