Let's Go Swimming Poem and Live Reading by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA

 Let's go Swimming

underwater swimmers figurative art illustration body blue orange water


Let’s go swimming
Where the ocean never ends
Where the lost and lonely people
Catch up with their friends

Where water babies go
The seas
to ever roam
In search of mothers' love
Thrown in from up above

Let’s go swimming
Where no one ever grows
Where time stands still
For those
who chose
To walk the sandy beds
With the bubbles
of the dead
To guide them
without dread

Let’s go swimming
Under the seven seas
Naked in
our dreams

Where warrior women
freed
Search for babes
in weeds

Let’s go swimming
With angels wearing wings
Whose death songs sing
In echos from the shells
With lovers
saved from Hell

Let’s go swimming
And stop this endless time
Capture love sublime
To save it from the tide

We Were Never Really Friends (Lyrics with a Biro), Fake Friends the poem by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA

 The latest Tale Teller Club single is off to the distributer.


Here are the lyrics and the the poem that inspired them by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA



We Were Never Really Friends


Sometimes there’s an emptiness

An echo unreturned

A memory now forgotten

Knowing now unlearned


I am stealing shadows

Ones to call my own

Leaping from the chasms

Where Light is never thrown


We were walking to the beat

With nothing on our feet

But the tears that you shed

Were wasted on the dead

‘Cause you know you killed me then

When you lied that we were friends


chorus

On a train to love’s misfortune

Wrapped in hopes belonging

Binding words compelling

On a derailed train 

To a bitter end

We were never really friends


I am stealing shadows

Ones to call my own

But you are just a hollow

Where nothing ever grows

The original poem which inspired the song




Fake Friends



It took many years

and a million mistakes

to see 

that we 

were never friends


I was wrapped

so tightly in

Belonging


The songs were 

binding 

and the troupes

compelling


But we were

Never really friends


We were passengers

on one another’s

trains

Derailed and destined 

for some 

grizzly end


We were never ever

Friends
