"Lie"

Click more for lyrics etc: Hey all! Here is another poem, and if it seems confusing, well it can be. You will undoubtedly find yourself drawn into it, so watch it as uninterrupted as possible. A tunnel effect, or a mental illusion, if you will... don't run from it, but rather embrace it; you might be surprised where this poetic journey takes your mind. And it might take watching it more than once, but somehow I think no matter how many times you watch it, it will say something new to you each time, depending on where your life is at that moment. And that's exactly what I attempted to give you all, in this. This will say something different to each one of you, Im sure, because there is no rhyme or reason to it. It touches on things both out of our control and within, things in the world and between you and another person. I hope you find it as intriguing as I did while writing it. This one will be included in my book so constructive feedback is much appreciated, and please dont copy my work but if you enjoy it (and I hope you do) feel free to pass on links to those ya know. This is set to a version of Zombie sung by The Cranberries. Thanks for watching!
Lyrics:
A world lending itself headed to nowhere, you stop and wonder where the meaning lies. What happens when fiction is better than reality? When all of your dreams and desires are wrapped up behind two closed eyes? When youd give your last breath to find a hint of sweetness in the bitter? When youd give your last breath to find a hint of sweetness in the bitter, where is the purpose and joy in all you hold inside? Such beauty in the fields of forgetfulness, falling down beside the memories hidden within, and there my escape made haste from the cruelty life bestows. A smile to hide the tears, the pain, oh numb me from this which chases me in the shadows. When my solitary wish is for slumber, because it is too painful to be awake. Blindly colliding into my nightmares, they are as honey in contrast to this night which blankets my frozen form, uncertain and unsure of anything anymore. They ask me for answers but answers I have none, they beg me for a reason but often those too far from me have run. So instead I lay myself down into black, wishing myself away, maybe I will dissipate into the stars and be no more, their lights masquerading my flaws, where I am beautiful. More than a face, or a name, or the reason for your peace instead of regret. Where may I run to, to escape this which taunts me, would you still love me if you knew? Never alone, for mine is one of many, a voice given to the silent, bold in the face of animosity. Would you help me to my feet and stand with me when no one else will? Would you rescue me from this which you did before but has found me once more? Would you extend your hand to guide me as I stagger in weakness and frailty, be my every need and more than a mere want without hesitation? The scenes flash before me as surreal, yet my bed which I lay, more than a moment & less than a day, is all I can carry at once. It is easier to ignore than to face, isnt it? And what happens when what we face is our deepest fear? Do we rise above? Has that grace passed me by? Oh I wonder, will I lose myself in my pursuit of happiness? I know not. Of passion ending as a summer days close, the heat long since chilled, will it return or leave me in my misery? Is this all there is for me, positive words spoken in hushed whispers assure those but find me empty? Can you hear me crying out to you in the crevasses of your soul, yes I am real, unlike this dream I constantly pursue, like a promised morning after, relieved into a soft field that welcomes my collapsed and broken form. For every way I turn is as a stinging to my cheek, and I ponder when it will be met with a kiss? Something tender for all the harsh realities, something bittersweet that will somehow make it all worth it. When I will never have to look back. When my reality is better than fiction, and far above my dreams and desires. And more than a lie.

I'm so happy you do - thank you! =)

[sistine29]

Exactly how I feel...great work.

[harleynanda]

Hmmm. Pardon the typo in the first line of part one. The elipsis was dropped. It should read "Holli...an ever", etc.

(cont'd 3/3) ... the rhythm of a slow and deep breathing, a breathing come from deeper within. Beautifully written, dear lady, and another for my favorites list.

[harleynanda]

(cont'd 2/3) ... accept oneself, even if realized in surrogacy through another, a lover. And most loudly spoken, to love oneself, even for the beauties of the flaws. Another thought, that you should (if at all possible) have the book produced containing a DVD of your videos for each peace. Your eye for the symbolic image, and the mood of each image, is a fine craft and your use of each illustration sets not only the visual tone, but the meter of your poetry, like ...

Ah, I like this peace very much, Hollian ever so slight twist of perspective in your usual style to a new door opened. It is not difficult to see this placed in a summary position in your book, at or near its conclusion. This is almost an epitaph for the splintered soul given up in self realization and given over through the heart, less amorous in its passion, yet greater in compassion for self; a tender yet bittersweet admission, a confession, a soul searching appeal to know oneself and ...

You are a true literally genius!! Every litlle bit of it written I felt connected to and I felt that it was so lovely and breathe taking a cried after watching it while i took in its meaning. It was simple beautiful and there ae a few poets that I find out there that can put as much feeling as you don in a piece of literature. Beautiful<3
