For the month of September I am going to choose a piece of music or song and write a poem or alternative version. Jane Dougherty is doing a September Stanza here. And Kat Myrman is doing September a poem a day Here.
Today’s piece of Music is China by Tori Amos
My interpretation.
I step forward you step back
Dancing around each other, loosing track.
Fingers brushing
Thoughts causing blushing
I step forward you step back , the rejection is crushing.
Too many people here
I shall look the fool I fear
I reach for you but you’ve already gone
I bow my head in shame,
Cover my ears they’re play our song.
Falling slowly from the tower
For a second I feel a rush of power.
No pain yet, maybe I’ll sprout wings and fly
Sadly this real life you will not catch me . You’ll go and let me die.
OH! OH! THE PAIN, ALL PAIN NO GAINS
I am feel the blood leaving my veins.
Will you turn back will you run and take my hand
Will you hell, you barely acknowledge me,I don’t register in your plan.
I step forward you step back
Dancing around each other, loosing track.
Fingers brushing
Thoughts causing blushing
I step forward you step back, rejection is crushing.
