for an old flame, long since gone. a moment of my life literally frozen in words. i was drunk.. room spinning the works. the poem is true in every detail including the fact she sent a text.


To Kate

Here i lie, all alone,
While from afar you call me home,
I wish that i could but fly,
Into your arms my lullabye.

A message from afar you send,
Unto your need i want to tend,
How i wish i could but fly,
Into your arms my lullabye.

Of you i thought of all the evening,
Even when my brain hit the ceiling,
God tell me how i can fly,
Into her arms my lullabye.

So very drunk, i lie here alone,
And write this poem, to you alone,
Both wishing the same thought are we,
Our arms entwined my lullabye and me.

Drunk as i am, i cannot sleep,
Until i write of my thoughts deep,
Which tangle round my mind as i fly,
My honey, darling, lullabye.

I wish i was with you dear Kate,
I long to kiss you, cuddle, mate,
My feelings oh so plain to see,
My honey, sweetest lullabye

Drunk or not, so moving, so poignant.

Sometimes it takes a drink or two or three to unmask the poet within us. You are a poet.

"And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns,
And so it goes" - Billy Joel
