Articulated Idiot

Often times I wonder if I say a lot of things but never really say anything of substance. So I have decided to leave that up to you whomever you are who want to take the time to read this blog. It will be full of my random musings; some fun some serious but pretty much all tongue in cheek as you can tell from the title of the blog. This is a place for my poetry and whatever else is on my mind. Hopefully you will enjoy it and maybe it can even relate to you a little bit. Feel free to comment if you have anything you want to say.


This first poem I want to share with you all is called Articulated Idiots. Hence the name of the blog... I'm so creative. Before I give you my point of view on why I wrote this I want to give you a chance to decide for yourself how you feel about it. Without further ado...

Articulated Idiots

What is the point of words

When they fall on deaf ears

When all the words said

Amount to a grain of sand in weight

When did we stop carrying weight with our words

And speak only in small talk

So we would not loose ourselves drowned in the silence

While waiting to wash ashore on the land of meaningful conversation

Is it the words that are meaningful

Or the connection the words bring

Because I would speak every word in the dictionary

In every possible combination

In order to find a person

With whom I have a connection

So I could sit afloat in a sea of silence

With your breathing and heartbeat as my lifeboat

We will go with a short one to start with, don't want to test your attention spans just yet. Here are some songs that kinda inspired me to write this. Don't worry the links all work, I just couldn't get the links to show up in a different color for some reason so I just changed the background.

Cursive -- The Rhyme Scheme

Why? -- This Blackest Purse

lyrics

The Early November -- All We Ever Needed

lyrics

That kinds gives you an idea of where my head was at while I was writing this. I mean I really hope you took your own meaning from it or that it at least made you think a bit. But if you wanted way too much information into how it came about those songs helped inspire it. 

This was just an idea I had because it seems like all we ever do with each other is kill time and make small talk because if we ever skirt along something real and meaningful to talk about we avoid it with our all. Kinda like don't talk about real stuff it's all looming there but if we talk about it, it makes it real and we have to figure it out. I also kinda went with the relationship aspect where we spend all this time watching what we do and say and how we act. We get so picky about the person we choose to be with and we will try too hard for some and not hard enough for others when really even after all that talking even after what might be "meaningful" conversation the most important times, the most lasting times in my mind at least are the ones spent in silence. The quiet after sex where both of you are hopefully sighing contentedly.... Absentmindedly watching TV while holding each other and forgetting the world exists and that you brains are capeable of anything else.... A shoulder to cry on when words just don't work.... Someone just to stand beside you through thick and thin. These are the moments that will stick with you, not the words around them. But we must talk so much to get to that place where words just aren't necessary anymore.

Thanks again for taking the time to read this. I hope you enjoyed it and hopefully I will get better at writing it haha. Until next time......
