Sad Song Boy

Oh please sing, my sad song boy

Make me cry for roses fading
Touch my mood with verse of pain
In your pool of sadness wading
Let me bathe, to grieve in vain


Sing to me, my sad song boy

Spin your song in which I’ll wallow
Winding blue ceramic notes
Tend your tune so I may follow
Agony, on which it dotes

Sad, but touches the heartstrings lightly. Somehow, there remains the impression of hope. Nice write! ~ gw
