Clouded Thoughts of You

Blue's still blue
bed sheets too
but every morning the sky
is a different hue
and I could try, I could lie
but lately my thoughts of you
are cloudy too
with a chance of rain
in the afternoon
oh please explain
tell me what to do

Black eye blue
the night is through
and every morning your smile
just isn't true
and I just sigh, dunno why
but lately my thoughts of you
are foggy too
I can't see a thing
I can't get through
oh say something
tell me what to do

Sunshine eclipsed
she puts her hands on her hips
and leaves me dangling from her lips
a hint of a smile would kill me
a dose of radiation in the air of her mystery
but the nightgowns aren't setting me aflame
like they used to do
and the curve of the earth when she'd call me name
I can't feel it like I used to do
and white's still white
the moon's still light
but every night your embrace
just doesn't feel right
and I could try, I could lie
but lately I've been thinking
these clouded thoughts of you
I've been sinking
and I don't know what to do

Blue's still blue
bed sheets too
but every morning the sky
is a different hue
and I could try, I could lie
but lately my thoughts of you
are cloudy too
with a chance of rain
in the afternoon
oh please explain
please, please do

Black eye blue
the night is through
and every morning your smile
just isn't true
and I just sigh, dunno why
but lately my thoughts of you
are foggy too
I can't see a thing
I can't get through
oh say something
speak the truth

Oh say something
help me clear these clouded thoughts of you
so I can see a brighter blue
with you

This is a very captivating poem/song, you write very well.

The refrain is nice too.

I read in your profile that you want to be a songwriter and I think you have got this talent and show it.

Your poetry is speaking to me today, your closing lines say all that needs to be said.

I'm your biggest fan...or so I like to think.

Wishing you the best soul drifter.

This is most definitely a foreshadowing  for Raining in Wonderland. I like the lyrical feel of this. I'm enjoying your work very much. ~L
