Poem
Sitting one day upon my wall, smiling at one and all Taking in the warming sun so happy with the things I’d done The birds floating on the breeze that brought a smile with graceful ease Until a girl came to say “Take my hand let’s run away” I felt the grass between my toes and the scent of flowers in my nose As we ran headlong across field wide with the joy of life bright inside At the sight of this pretty thing, my heart sang and took to wing Then the girl turned and said Three little words to make me red Hand in hand we skipped down our track never once looking back Sharing tales and jokes of past, sharing all down to the last Lying down in grass so tall, embracing we let our shields fall Staring in to eyes so blue I confessed my love deep n true The days that followed we many and long, filled with dance filled with song Hand in hand and never apart, just a little piece of the others heart We danced and capered until evening came, when we laid heads on pillows plain Each night she’d say to me “I love you monkey you set me free” Then one morning I woke to find, the love I had left me behind In that girl that she left behind, not a scrap of my love did I find With teary eyes and failing heart, I watch my world fall apart Her next words brought me low “I think its time for me to go” Now I’m left chasing shades, and memories of summer days Alone with nothing but the past, I lost myself so very fast What happened to the boy on the wall? I’ll tell you now he did fall With no one there to help me rise I’m guaranteed a quick demise.
