Power of SHE

Power of SHE

Thick skin falls in pieces
To reveal a molten liquid center
A beauty never gazed upon by another
A glow of heat and pain and ...love
Hidden from prying eyes
Kept safe from strangers and "loved ones" alike
Permanent fists grip tightly
As the center boils hot upon its release
And a trickle becomes a flood
In the right hands...

In the right heart
The stiff grip loosens
And new skin, soft and supple
Replaces the old
Stronger than one could have imagined
Sweeter than one could hope
A butterfly against the odds
And a struggle ends in .....love

Unbowdlerized (beware)

Unbowdlerized (beware)

Razor-sharp fingernails scrape layers of flesh from eyelids
Splaying them eternally open
Can't unsee what's been seen
Can't unhear the sounds
Or unsmell the odor that rots in nostrils, infecting every rose
There's no stopping when they all stink the same
Can't undo, can't undo
Safety in bile where nightmares are birthed in reality,
In places that fester like the remnants of the lids that blinded
Bleach doesn't clean untruths
Fire doesn't burn hot enough to mask pain
Blisters seem like hope
Hope to heal
Hope to resemble something familiar
Peeling skin back with teeth
Wishing for them to bleed
When scalding tubfulls try to cleanse
the grime that sludges through a broken mind
Attached to a heart mindlessly lashed in the shame of

Love

What happened to the ball of fire in your belly?

Hi Radiohead and Radiohead fans who are middle aged (or near it) but still have time to do stuff like this. I love the band and always will, but the music isn't music anymore. It's lost that essential element that makes it appeal to people everywhere. It's no longer a universal tap into human emotion.

The last two albums and the bits of sound and vision I've seen recently are somewhat stimulating on a mental level, but even the good beats (I can't put a finger on any melodies) that would make me want to listen are drowning in gray hums of sound that make me want to give Thom and the band some adrenaline or at least a cake that says "Stop the cringing whiny lament and let's feel some energy."

I always look forward to a Radiohead album, but I really hope I'm not stuck listening to a bunch of new songs with my hand on my head trying to think about what I'm hearing just to enjoy it.
