This is not a found poem as such. I am doing a big clear out and came across
this poem written when I was eighteen, over forty five years ago. I had
split with my boyfriend who later became my husband of nearly forty years.
I always fall in love very deeply as you can see.
Just thought I would share it while things are quiet.
A bit melodramatic I know but at the time I thought it was the end of the
world for me and maybe in a way it was a bit prophetic too as I am now a
widow. But I am not this sad now honest.
Alone I sit, alone I pine
I'll always be alone I sigh
let me sip of natures wine
and let me on her death bed lie
her wine shall be the mountain stream
the nectar of eternal death
as running waters downward scream
my aching soul shall lie at rest
fields of clover in violet hue shall be my bed
and thoughts of you my heart will hold
so heavy with the deeds untold
no secrets then shall pass my lips
my waxen skin and eyes as fixed
as stars that travel through the night
just giving off a tiny light of hope
that you will return to me
in another being, another me
in a mightier world than this.
