I Am But to Grasp

Wandering gypsies,
and the audio-autos,
that "whriff".....when they've supposed to "whirl"
can claim the girl.

What to do ?
Man spies a bride looking away
then, deep inside he's counterproductive
but, for the child.

The wintry realm of the night
laughs, alone.
so, fogotten are the fogs
that I cannot help but nestle next to you,

down below,
there is a breath with a cry.
and sorrow is the iniquity of the heart
Why can't you understand ?

You, are the siren.....singing.
Yours, are the pinwheels that are making their turn;
and forgotten, again am I...
...for I am but to grasp.

Ooh Lala

And when you grasp, do not let go dear heart. Not to sad and it is interesting. Brilliant poem and a great play on words. I like the way you have written the last stanza. Well I read and I am pleased. So should you be. You aint forgotten, you are cherished, as the song, Cherish is a word I use to define you, is that how it goes? lol, I forgot, time for bed I think, lol. Too much of nothing left in the head. Love from Lyz. XX
