WISHING FOR A RIVER......RDJ
listening to you sing
my heart felt your pain
wishing for a river
troubled soul
trying to escape
through the lines
wishing for a river
talking of love
helped received
you said you were
selfish and sad
admitted you were hard to handle
wow... what an understatement
wishing for a river
praying for feet that fly
all you wanted was to flee
run from you self created mess
wishing for a river
one you could skate away on
haungting words
sang by a lost young man
wishing for a river
a river many miles long
you sang of Christmas
you never liked that time
wishing for a river
I sat and thought of the words
listened closely
haunting cello
minor notes
piano keys
played by fingers
nervous from cravings
the song was beautiful
watched you as you sang this
felt your pain
saw it deep in your eyes
I wished for you
to finally get it
but you weren't ready
so I prayed for you to find your river
I hoped my simple prayers might help
but looking back over it
I don't think they did
Renee, this one is really, really good. I love the way it flows. And you can feel the emotions that you put into it. Very, very good. Thanks. Kris
This is one man that I think will never let go of his demons. It is sad. You are so right when you say he has great talent, but, unfortunately, I feel it will be short lived. I am seeing River Phoenix Flashbacks. What a shame. Amy

Renee, You must REALLY like Robert Downey Jr. as this is the third poem about him I've read in your portfolio. :) To my knowledge I've never seen any of his TV Shows or movies. This poem has a very sad, resigned vibe to it, makes me wonder if this is how a lot of his loved ones are feeling with all the trouble he's gone through lately.
