A Poem by J. Sharpe Bridge Over Troubled Water
Singing from your beautiful mouth Tortured me to sleep and peace Climbing and trying to find more
Your skin was warm even soft though I seemed to make you cry Remember your mouth quivering When I turned around to your sight
My back was to you - this I know At the time I recall wanting to feel Only your hand touching my back Saying, please don’t go I need you
But you are another person now I thought you were someone else Before I wrote this song I didn’t realize How little I knew myself
I was always alone you see Playing under the covers in a white room Everyone - gone somewhere to play Or so I thought as I dreamed
With an orange blanket strewn over my eyes I played with those crevices and creases like tunnels All to new paths and places Anywhere I And here now wondering That my earliest moment of remembered youth Defines my life as it exists today |
