Somewhere (just now I do not care)
My veins are softly, gently strummed
The ray of light, your golden hair
And all my senses swiftly numbed

I rest my head
and the grass calms me
You hang your head
where the sun should be

The sun is here, I shade my eyes
Racing beats can't deafen cries

I rest my head
Where the weeds still grow
When I fell in love
I didn’t think you’d know

The sun beats down, enlivens me
And at that moment I cannot see
Why the world should need gravity
Just pull me in and I’ll be free

But you leave me here so that I can die
In a field of grass and a “Wonder Why?”

I rest my head on blackened plague
If you knew how it’s hard to see
Grass turned o'er in its final throes
You had the chance to get close to me

You hung your head
Where the sun once shone
You made me think
That I should have known

That love is wonder and why I try
To hang your head up in the sky

Hey Walt....sad poem! I don't think she's right for you. I mean how could you know?
It's well written sad love song!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Sad write, Walt. Yet, I got somewhat of a contented feeling with this one. Not sure that was right, but that's what I felt. Keep up the good work!

I agree, a sad poem...but so eloquently written!

P.S. Your profile picture throws off the mood of the poem a tad

cute picture!
