Oh, that I could blaspheme the mighty In your presence, that it would make you feel better; I’d stand on this mountaintop and With bent brow curse the weather, Forgetting that my life swayed as a tether In the wind. I would that I could buy time in a suitcase, And bring it with me when I come to see you, I’d give it in (earnest) verisimilitude, And you might would come true, And lie down with me For an eternity. That I could one morning find your hair In my drain, it’d be my gain And I wouldn’t clean the &*^%@#$ sink, As its uncleanliness made me think Of you. Please do not think me insane, And if you do, if you decide to be vain and a prude, Think of me as an insane man who sat down And wrote this poem for you. ========================== copyright Apr. 2000 by DEM [This message has been edited by Elliott (edited 04-12-2000).] |

And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |
