Carry You

 

 

 

Ask me why

I weave tender threads through
Saturated heart that hastens to death

I can do nothing but

C    Y
A  R
R
you

Across expanse of continents
Over heaven mountain peaks
Above barren deserts baked
Through oceans of healing
As dancing sky weeps.

I can do nothing but

C    Y
A  R
R
you

Lay you upon fields at Ashburton
Where trees smitten will bend
In lovers summer breeze
Of red august month,
Doves gather to dress naked skin,
Earth is yieldingly silent
Permitting dreamless sleep
I guard you while you heal.

I can do nothing but

C    Y
A  R
R
you

As you bleed into my skin
Blend into loving back,
Choked with weight as
We dance, dance, dance,
Balanced precariously on
Edge of words tipping of pages,
Spilling from tongues of angels
As you close tearful green eyes,
I can carry you so far
The rest lies between you and God.

I can do nothing but

C    Y
A  R
R
you

As we hasten to that end.

The experimental structure is easy on the eyes, but the meat of this poem is in its classic nature. It has lots of elements of Romantic poetry, yet the language does not slip into thees and thous. It is unpretentiously pretty and has a streak of pride down its back for always being the strong one. Another good one Bubo.

Another artistic masterpiece here; You are admired by many here, and I'm honored to share in outr artistic chatter over PG (lol) or coffee.

Be Well.

[Velvet Pen]

I'm speechless.............you have perfectly conveyed the feeling with your words.......and so beautifully!!!

Well the way you wrote "Carry You" was nothing I could come up with without giving my brain a migrane. I loved the poem... A LOT. It was really good and I love the way it's written. Emotions are such powerful things when it comes to writing and you utilize them extremely well. and one more thing, it is for sure going in my library.

i love this poem it is such a good inspiration piece. Sadly i am often cynical of others and want they want and here you are saying what you want is to provide strentgh and courage and help to your friends and lovers. I love the complexities you put in each and every one of your poems and they keep intriguing me as to how many meanings i can find.

i found this to be a bit of a distraction. this poem stands strong without the gimmick. i kept reading "cyarr you" i dont speak that language

Love this, it reminds me (green envy included) of some stuff I've done on myspace (booooo). It was different though. I think of Angels with handles.

I loved how you arranged the "Carry" in the poem.

Well written and strong with emotion! This sooo f*****g good!

You've got such great talent with words and keeping it fresh...

I mean:

"Lay you upon fields at Ashburton
Where trees smitten will bend
In lovers summer breeze
Of red august month,
Doves gather to dress naked skin,
Earth is yieldingly silent
Permitting dreamless sleep
I guard you while you heal. "

Wow.. just wow!

Great imagery from your words and it really makes you stir! The theme of the poem is something I really understand because I've done that so many times... Great job and thanks for sharing!

Beautiful work her Bubo. I think that you may have really outdone yourself here. I also like yor new thing, the using abstract forms to present your work, nice job my friend.
