An admittedly lengthy poem (648 words) that I thought would suit my first post on here. |
The sun Bright as the smile i saw On that day Shining so bright and beautiful You’re entranced And you never wanna look away Unknowing to the fact If you look for too long You’ll be hurt My tan arm Blocking the harmful rays So i wouldn’t be hurt Like i knew i would Lyrics from a song Floated through the courses of my mind A song i wrote Simply for the feeling of release Then the song The melody i created Floated through the air Through the trees and around the leaves To where i lay I wondered how How could a song i have never shared Be floating through the air As i lay I rise to go To go find the source of the singing The singing So beautiful it was The singing That i heard floating through the woods Angelic and pure Not a note wasn’t clear Not a word misunderstood I searched the trees Through around and behind To find the source of the singing The singing And soon came into view A figure Quite angelic in itself Long hair Dark as the earth The rich brown earth It stood on Bright long Flowing dress White as a lily In the new spring The angelic creature Who’s mouth still sang Still sang those beautiful notes Turned to me To where i stood Stood between the trees Eyes Blue blue eyes Rivaling the sky above her head Looked at me Through me And her lips parted To reveal the sun In her mouth In her smile Like people are I became entranced Enraptured In the bright light That was this angelic wonder’s Smile So i stood Between the trees Eyes wide Yet relaxed Wondering what i had found Under the sky On the rich earth She sang onward Matching each note Each word From which i had written Just a day before No thought came to me To how this beautiful Beautiful Woman Had come to know my song My tune That i had written Just a day before She drew near Nearer To where i stood Between the trees I could feel a wind Rustle my hair My hair not as dark Not as rich As this angelic creature’s Not as dark Not as rich As the earth we stood upon She drew nearer Nearer still Until she stood Just a few lily pad lengths away Still singing my song Unnervingly accurate Her eyes Blue blue eyes Looked into mine And i couldn’t look away Her smile The sun in her mouth Not wavering Not falling The song Slowly Oh so slowly Started to finish Or Come to where i had ended Just the day before The woman The beautiful Beautiful Woman Reached the end of the tune She closed her eyes Holding the final note So beautifully So perfectly I closed my eyes And simply Listened The note floated Drifted upon the winds Landed on leaves Rooted in the soil And i open my eyes And the angelic woman Is gone I look around Hoping to see the bright dress As white as lilies But see nothing Nothing but trees Through around and behind Nothing but trees I wondered Wondered and pondered Whether i would ever see The angelic woman Again My heart felt alone So cold and alone And i had only seen the beauty For a minute Maybe two But i felt alone Cold And alone Just like the sun How it can be so beautiful So life giving But if you look too long Cherish too much too quickly It can hurt And sometimes It doesn't warm It leaves cold Dark spots In it’s wake And although the woman Is the warmest thing To touch mind My sight My heart She can leave Cold spots too Just like The sun Bright as the smile i saw On that day |
