Scattering poems


In the street of the sky night
Walks scattering poems
That man that I once was
And one I might have been

Now gone with no hand to hold
With no sweet lips to kiss
No breast to lay my head
No more sad tears to be shed

Oh, to be able to touch you
Once more with me in bed
Perhaps you read my words
Of all this my poetry

Will you clap your hands in glee?
Find me, then hand in hand
Walk scattering poems
In the street under night's sky

  2. Now gone with no hand to hold
    With no sweet lips to kiss
    No breast to lay my head
    No more sad tears to be shed

    Separation from whatever reasons is such a cruel thing. One's emotions are tested fully in serious cases!

  6. The longing is alive and tender in this one. And I just know her hand is clapping and her heart is beating for her love.

  7. "man that I once was
    And one I might have been"
    are intriguing lines. The loss here coincided with the loss of 'her', Sadly it seems neither will not be soon restored. Wonderfully meshed, Robin.
