Too tired to rest
I only care
are you out there somewhere
A glass of cheap wine
on the arm of some expensive chair
And do you…
could you
think of me sometime
maybe…
while I’m still alive
The gravity of your movements
swells the tides of my emotions
and you’ll probably never know
You drag me to ecstasy
then to lowest ebb
and you’ll probably never know
You amaze me
with your vagary
I could fall in love so easily
but you won’t let me
Could you
think of me sometime
could you
think of me sometime
maybe…
while we’re still alive…
[2010]

“You amaze me with your vagary, I could fall in love so easily, but you won’t let me.” Wow, this line made me feel sick a depth of emotions. I loved it. This is a beautiful poem.

Thanks Chris, that’s kind of you to say. 🙂 I’m really glad you enjoyed this one. I vividly remember sitting on my bed writing it into my notebook and feeling pretty satisfied with it at the time.

Ah thank you so much! Telepathically trying to convince someone to think of you does not work. This poem proved it to me 😉
