Raw Thinker Poet Ballade

Stolen Melodies

Melodies roll off a tilted tongue
hits from years long gone
you speak in words rhyming
the past with a longing pride

I look down under and lose it all
our song, played behind a hidden dawn
the jackrabbits scurry when I near
I can still smell her deceit in your fear

Fly away now my hyperalergen
ointments bought in an open market
fail to impress me, no longer undress me
with hidden eyes meant for another's side

sorry my broken sparrow
your delicate heart breathes life
but I can't love you, eventhough
these tears say otherwise
you have a wife


@please stop the soupmail cloaked one
     we can never be

James Swartz November 26, 2017 at 11:43 AM I like this poem. It is sadness but with strength. Real life scenario played out in words you wrote?

Arthur Vaso August 31, 2017 at 1:04 PM Nice poem, I cant tell if this is about stolen lyrics and deceit or hay-fever!! Always intriguing to come read your poems!!

Lin Lane August 30, 2017 at 9:24 AM oh oh, raw. Good for you to tell this married one to be off with himself. You sound more like the broken sparrow with a delicate heart, but don't be sad. One day you will meet a handsome one who won't make your tears fall or have you needing Claritin. PS Sounds like you need a new location...come up from down under.
