edgarallenpaul - Hello Poetry

I do not know everything I do not know why some birds fly And some birds don't sing, When early morning comes Some birds cry And some birds are listening To the rising sun And I do not know nothing For I see how the caged bird Is a sparrow without wings And the smaller his cage gets The louder he sings The more broken his wings are The stronger he believes And after all this I only know one thing That we are like sparrows And in the abandoned Lies the beauty of our humanity And that is why the caged bird Will always sing beautifully

A bird without wings

I do not know everything I do not know why some birds fly And some birds don't sing, When early morning comes Some birds cry And some birds are listening To the rising sun And I do not know nothing For I see how the caged bird Is a sparrow without wings And the smaller his cage gets The louder he sings The more broken his wings are The stronger he believes And after all this I only know one thing That we are like sparrows And in the abandoned Lies the beauty of our humanity And that is why the caged bird Will always sing beautifully

I looked back at us one winter And I felt a shiver Thinking about how cold it was When you left. But I should have embraced this cold, Like a tree Who drops it's clothes And it's leaves Unafraid of the cold And stares winter in it's eyes, Deep and blue And say, Summer will be back soon

Winter love

I looked back at us one winter And I felt a shiver Thinking about how cold it was When you left. But I should have embraced this cold, Like a tree Who drops it's clothes And it's leaves Unafraid of the cold And stares winter in it's eyes, Deep and blue And say, Summer will be back soon

I wish I'd said The things I never did. For I mean things I never say, And say things That were never meant. I wish we could start over, a new beginning with no end. One where we watched the stars at night And lived the dreams We always dreamt. And I wish I told you my dreams When you were in them Like the stars, Late at night. But I woke up this morning From my dreams And I saw you As the sun began to rise.

I wish I told you my dreams

I wish I'd said The things I never did. For I mean things I never say, And say things That were never meant. I wish we could start over, a new beginning with no end. One where we watched the stars at night And lived the dreams We always dreamt. And I wish I told you my dreams When you were in them Like the stars, Late at night. But I woke up this morning From my dreams And I saw you As the sun began to rise.

I wonder if February Was chosen to be the month of love Because it's the shortest...

I try to forget your name, But I keep seeing it in lightning And I hear it in the rain. I tried to scream like thunder, crying for you to stay, But the words fall out my mouth like leaves, And the wind only blows them away.

Silenced thunder

I try to forget your name, But I keep seeing it in lightning And I hear it in the rain. I tried to scream like thunder, crying for you to stay, But the words fall out my mouth like leaves, And the wind only blows them away.

Our lips were waves crashing on our bodies of salt water. And every night was a storm.

My mouth was drenched in the foul odours Of past lover's kisses. And when I kissed her, I tasted them with shame

'Don't worry' You said. It's only you and me. But there was Only you. And lonely Me.

If tears could touch the sky I would never have watered my flowers with my eyes. If they ever could, I'd have enough pain To water them forever Through the clouds And the rain.

If tears could fly

If tears could touch the sky I would never have watered my flowers with my eyes. If they ever could, I'd have enough pain To water them forever Through the clouds And the rain.
