NOTHING BUT NOTHING < !signature-->by Garfield Green It doesn't matter much now As I watch butterflies fly by It doesn't matter much now As my skies turn grey as if they wished to cry It doesn't matter much now As the fall of season paints the ground brown It doesn't matter much now That the once smiling clown now frowns It doesn't matter much now That a lovely love song now plays It doesn't matter much now What life dictates and people say It doesn't matter much now Watching and observing all these things It doesn't matter much now Listening to a beautiful songbird sing It doesn't matter much now As I sit with by elbows on my thighs It doesn't matter much now As large flooding tears build in my eyes Nothing matters much now As I sit here cold and blue Nothing matters much now withou you.

Garfield, you have so affectively expressed the melancholia of loss with this piece. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Melton & Claire I wrote this poem after the loss of my first girlfriend. I was looking for a way to express this loss and this is what I came up with. This was one of the first peoms that I ever wrote. Garfield |
