Beautiful Brick
Verse
From the moment you wake up
You feel so alone.
Your castle's a throne,
But never a home,
And nobody's there.
From high in your tower
You get a bird's eye view.
You're unable to do,
But I am too.
So, honey let down your hair.
Prechorus
When the birds fly out with the breeze,
You're afraid of what you might see.
Let your eyes follow your heart.
Fold out your hands;
Give us a start.
Chorus
You make the world you live in;
Brick by brick by beautiful brick.
Before the walls collapse and give in,
You have the keys. I'm on my knees.
Honey let down your hair,
And I'll climb up.
Verse
You spend hours on make up
That no one will see.
The burden's the beast
With eyes like the sea,
That just go on forever.
If you should fall backwards,
Who would break your fall?
The cathedral walls,
And the angels that crawl,
Their wings plucked of the feathers.
Chorus
You make the world you live in;
Brick by brick by beautiful brick.
Before the walls collapse and give in,
You have the keys. I'm on my knees.
Honey let down your hair,
And I'll climb up.

Beautiful Brick
I've gone backwards on here, missing my Tuesday Photo Fun. I've been so busy. Well, here is a song at least. I wrote this last night. See if you can spot which fairy tale character it eludes to. Again, I have such wordy songs these days.

Your poem is based on the fairy-tale character of "Rumplestiltskin," however, I'm not sure of the girl's name. Did she even have one? If so, I'm bad because I don't even remember! By the way, a great poem, and very well written, as always :)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Rapunzel with the "Let down your hair" line. But I think I remember brick making in the Rumpelstiltskin story.
ReplyDeleteSo, Chase, what's the answer?
Survey says....
ReplyDeleteRapunzel. The girl from Rumplestiltskin wove thread into strings of gold. Rapunzel was trapped in a tower, so long that her hair grew long enough to touch the ground. The Rapunzel I am writing about however, has trapped herself in her own tower. She could be saved, but chooses the isolation for fear of change. She just has to let down her hair, and I'll climb up :)
