Double

(Lockdown)

Double

Finding it hard to think.
Finding it hard to speak
Trying to talk but the words that I sought just fall to pieces.
As I breath.

Making the same mistakes
Worrying everyday
Lessons learned and the world it turns
But they still fall back on me.

Listening to their song
- A melody so soft
It`s hard to breath underwater
It`s hard to carry on

But together we are 2
Double the power, me and you
Double the strength to hold on to
Double for me and you

But together we hold on
Fight and sing their song
When we are safe, we surely belong
Double for me and you

The Tidal wave breached the shore.
I don`t want to write about it yet.
I don`t want to think about it soon.
Hold me close from houses apart.

Double for me and you.
The Fish of the Sea

Much like a song, quite smooth. But no sure if I get its meaning right: 1+1=2 math for kids  ;-)>

Actually 1+1 > 2 could if having kids.

Hey FISH!!.....I TOTALLY feel you here my friend....at least I'd like to think so...BUT.....there's an allegory going on here that I am not privy too....or perhaps I just can't understand......regardless, my interpretation of this write is a worried mind in flux with the pandemic at its forefront ....and for me....it's ~ #1.) Man-made
#2.) Controlled by men  #3.) going to be resolved in some glorious fashion (deception abounding)  #4.) to prepare the "New Reality"......It's happened in history before....it will happen again.....you have your youth?.......If so, NOT TO WORRY!!.....the world will once again be spinning in greased grooves!!.....cool write!!.....ALL STARS!!.....Peace Out!!.......T xo  : )

Wow Tony! I find it so very touching for you to try and break down my work, I can really see where your coming from! It's really impressive how you make connections in my work, sometimes before I realise them. But yes in lockdown now, hope it's not for too long... thanks for your kind comment! Sorry I didnt fully cover your question, poems are up to interpretation anyway. All smiles. Stay safe. TFOTS
