Give Me Your Sleeve

You think I'm too dreary


            Wanting things to be just right?


Trees sigh as I walk by


            The leaves waving in reply


My eyes are full of insight


            The starlight shines so very bright


Moonrise over poppy fields


            The sun flowers in the dawn - flowers in her hair





Get so high on ideas and emotions





I think I can fly off your roof


            Will you catch me if I fall and love me when I cry?


I need you       join my soul


            Teardrops in the rain


                        in a purple sky


And grey enfolds me              Then I wonder why


            Rainy days intrigue me


Maybe the tears burn my eyes


            Mingle with the night


Blue-black river of hope


            Indecisive at the turns


and then


            rushing up the bank





Wanders aimlessly





                                    ANSWER ME





Need an answer


            for forever





Occurrences of the past


            startle my creativity





Blanket of Fear





               Please                    go away





But I got to wipe my eyes





       ON WHAT?





                              give me your sleeve.
