I’m not quite sure, if anyone of you have heard of Billie Myers.
I heard her music, because of my interest in female singer/songwriters, that started in the 90s. Yes, Alanis still on top of my list, but it can be dull if you get stuck in one artist - so that’s how I discovered Billie Myers.
She released two albums already, first one is called "Growing Pains" where the smashing song "Kiss the Rain" came from. Then "Vertigo" - which unfortunately didn’t get enough word out there to be appreciate by others..
Anyway, Billie is back to release a much awaited album called "Slightly Bitter" - and am so looking forward to this!
If you want to listen/watch/see Billie, please check out her official site which is: http://www.billiemyers.com/
And now to the actual subject of this entry.. I don’t know muc about writing poem, but I’m the sort of person who can’t really swim with poems and how it goes.. but here are some that I love reading off Billie’s website. Hope you like them too..

Wrong place, wrong time, wrong nervous breakdown
Wrong me, wrong you
What’s right with this picture?
The fact that we are no longer together?
*********************************************************
Scientists say that 300 hundred miles from the earth there is no gravity
Clearly they have never stood next to you
You give me VERTIGO.

In the dark I could read you
Like a blind man translates the essence of meaning into words he can’t see
… by touch alone.

Emptiness settles on me, heavy in expectation waiting for my mind to speak,
But vocally anorexic, I can’t eat your words Or look at you…
