We Left

By sharmeka

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I left the dandelines dancing in the yard out back the plump red rose bobbing her head I left the crickets skipping in the grass the rabbits fleeing down the hillside the sweet wine of sunday mass bitter, and aging I left it all because of you and the changes of time You left the cloth journals tucked under your bed the fierce chicago wind searching to scatter your hair You left the candy necklaces ribbons and bows your innoscent eyes locked in the black and white photos You left it all because of me and the changes of time We united in a normal life dull and complex surfing the Want Ads sitting in coffee shops scheduling quality time Now we have the wantings of woman and men attachments and expectations the bliss of matromony, the future in our grasp That is all we know now to be beautiful to be somewhat comfortable Now often we yearn miss and look back on the strange days, the freedom to love and like the little things we took to the heart of our gullible spiritswritten 6 years ago Written November 17th, 2001 © on Nov 17 2001 04:24 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
