Poem: Ran with the Night

I haven't carried night as a blanket on my back
I ran with the night, and danced with the stars
I haven't met the day light since you're gone
I haven't been kissed nor touched as if I remained yours
I ran with the night because
I was just too blind to see
You were the devil who stolen my gold
You were the one who caused my heart to be flammable
Since you're gone I haven't heard my heart beat
But I ran with the night, and danced with the stars
I laid there in the cold, I waited, wondered, pounded, what more...
I ran with the night, danced with the stars but cheated night
When day finally came and rescued my heart

Taking Baby Steps

Hello to all!

I am pleased to announce how excited I am and overwhelm to be doing what I am doing right now. I had my first photo shoot yesterday and my next session will be Saturday 1st, 2008. All to really say that I am taking a risk in trying to realize my dreams as a singer, songwriter, lyricist. Why is that a risk? Well because I am a mother of three young children and I am not 21 years old anymore and no, I am not old neither. The new me is just more ambitious and willing. No longer trying to please "you" if I'm not pleased with myself first. Of course some of you may wonder about how I sound and what kind of song I sing. Well, I am RnB, Soul but versatile in writing: pop, country, zouk etc. Like many others, I knew that I wanted to sing when I was young, 7 years old to be precise. I heard Celine Dion sang on the radio for the first time and I put that radio so close to my ear and cried. I asked my mom why I was feeling the emotions I was feeling at that time and she simply answered me that it was because I was sensitive. Not knowing that I had my own voice, my own calling. At the age of 12, I started writing lyrics and poetry, yep, the sky is blue and life is pink birds are flying, type of thing but nonetheless I loved to sing. My first song was "Come back to me" and it was country, I had the boots to match with it too. ; ) I did some shows here and there a while back but it's in the past so, now I want to reinvent myself as to being the person that I am and share that with you guys. No matter how hard I've tried to escape the dream is kept on pulling me back, so, in baby steps watch me grow and grow along with me. I'll be back with more news so, stay tune!

Marilyn.
