Coffee And Poetry

January 31st, 2006

Well, it’s 5:30 in the morning. I just had a wonderful night of conversation and coffee with Justin and Molly at Ihop. We talked about everything from blogging, to cooking… to the war in Iraq, President Clinton… Man, caffeine does wonders to your brain. I was listening to a CD on the way home that Molly made for me containing a mix of songs by a group called the Decembersists when I got some strange inspiration from their folk-ish singing and medieval tones. I decided to write a poem (I sang it in my head to the tune of one of their songs)… So here it goes.


The Maiden

There in the darkness,
Cries a maiden in pain.
Her cold secretive soul
Obscured, shrouded in shame

For her broken will,
I search for a cure.
For her thoughts to arouse,
Or emotions to stir.

Despite all my troubles,
My genuine struggles,
She still seems so cold,
Her heart left in rubbles.

Still I press on,
Searching for that magic key,
To unlock her secrets,
And bring her back to me.

enjoy.

    I was just listening to the CD again and I can’t for the life of me remember which one I started it to. I didn’t come up with the whole thing on the ride home… but the first part I did. But I really like “The Legionnaires Lament” (it talks about ancient Chiraz) :-]

    Wait.. now I realize that it wasn’t one of their songs that I used to tune of (but they did make me want to write a song). I was actually thinking of writing the song to kind of my own beat. I just sang it again and it actually reminds me of a Dropkick Murphys song, but it’s just a constant repeating beat.
