Resonating

Brick-colored eyes
I’ve wished to
take in
and wet it self
To mine, reflecting—

to measure
what I do not wish
alone
to measure

When I share
my voice
echoing back

It is only
these four
slick,
egg-shelled,
plastered
boards
that know,
what it is
impossible
for them to know.

Reverberating
what it cannot
Understand…

me.

'Tis the Sum

The day and her spotting rain
Turning dry embankments
and clear rivers to mud
'Tis the drizzle’s sum of one year
As the night's crickets moan
For the hunter’s meat that clung to my bones
Lay dead of thirst
Untouched nor pursued
beneath this hungry flood
With its cracked lips and blistered tongue

Gray

There,
right here
This
smooth spot
in the wind
Between
wilting magnolias
and sad proverbs
I find
myself
Senses
coolly swept
as Autumn
Hung
gray
in paradox

-Susie E.

Invigorate your senses

Ray Lamontagne is one of my favorite musicians. His music takes you to another world to what I can only describe as gentle torturous beauty. I don't believe anyone could listen to his music and not feel his sincerity. He's real! You can feel his insides screaming but he doesn't have to scream at you to get heard. Instead he uses the perfect harmony to blend his emotions with some of the most eloquent verses.

So for those of you who dare, there are 4 video's to sip on your preferred beverage, be it coffee or tea, open your ears, and feel... Enjoy =)
