Inspire By Hozier (To someone from a warmer climate)

Silent tears escape, cascading tender flesh at night
learning the things that no-one teaches you
The awful things we do to make the head go quiet
the things that love demands a heart go through
A dream, the very things nightmares are crafted from
something make believe, we thought we had to have
Hidden in the dark and night is when they often come
the fragile dance a lifetime takes to choreograph
The stillness, a witness, participates in ghastly deeds
without a sound, encourages our next mistakes
Unwittingly has planted fates dramatic seeds
leaving us, sleepless, in a night that never wakes
The sound of water is the only get away
trickling down the sill, making its grand escape
Waiting for the release of darkness, with the light of day
Uiscefhuaraithe, Uiscefhuaraithe
(From the way he sings it, it sounds like ush ka ooh ra. I'm far from knowledgeable on the subject though. meaning: water cooled)

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

this is a cool concept. I appreciate the sound (e)scape imagery throughout this piece.
But what a get away it is. I love the sound of water on the window pane, of rain falling outside. (Not so much when it's falling inside, of course.)
This was so intense and powerful! Loved your poem!
learning the things that no-one teaches you The awful things we do to make the head go quiet the things that love demands a heart go through I love how those lines made me think....I read them over and over and then thought of moments in my life
This is really cool, Kelli!
Very deep and powerfu. Well done, Kelli!
Very powerful thought provoking words.
