Quoting yourself makes you an ass.


Cordelia like bamboo
Was slender and
Blossomed beautiful.

Her eyes were blue lagoons
Dripping grace from her face.
Billy drowned in the watery gaze
Her beauty was so unintentional.
And they were swans sleeping
On oceans warm and billowing

Billy told her "For you, my heart forgave it's wounds."
For you my heart forgave it's wounds.

Billy with Cordelia, through whispering forests
In sabotaging galoshes
And quadrilateral lanterns.
Nature and brambles
And blue lagoon gazes
Cordelia: lavender and mosses.

In the grass Billy sings...sings...sings

If I could I would take every tree, and dip them in the curdling sea.
And with ever chance I got I'd write my sentiments for you on the sky.
Walk outside. Breath in deep, and look on high
Read what I write believe it too. Because what I write is how I feel for you... Cordelia!

For you, my heart forgave it's wounds.
For you, my heart forgave it's wounds.

It's Weird that you said "like a song" I came up with it when playing my guitar. I just started saying stuff and the story came to me.

...sure, I'd like to hear more, though I've never heard of an on-going poem-story....it sounds very interesting, but I love the way you did this one, like a song, but a thought process, making it more realistic and artistic at the same time.

This is lovely!  So sad yet smooth and rhythmic, bittersweet.  I can see a green-gray forest awaking from winter's chills with the touches of newborn blossoms.....I love it.
