Heavy, Heavy

Oh, how the thunder brings

Such a joyful ring,

To my hollow head.

 

A king frog nearby

Sings along

In sorrow with my heavy

Heart; and darkness

Is my only  friend, yet

An enemy of the day.

 

Along the way

I stumbled upon you

And heard

 

A growl in the distance;

And it brought

My lying eyes

To judgement.

 

I swing slowly

In this crimson oval

Trying not to shy

Too close

 

While admiring the most,

The best of your holy sounds.

 

The current underground

In which you love,

Is just a whisper in my eye.

It's as it was

The last time

(From what I remember)

You kissed me goodbye.

 

I swallowed back shallow

Waves and empty footsteps

I remember I called out

Your name.

(But you don't remember)

 

My hollow heart, still:

 

Breathe(s) like a champion &

Beats out loud like the grey cloud

On our lonely horizon.

 

Speak only when,

Speech is broken.

 

Keep writing,

Even when

No one else has spoken.

 

 

 

 

 

But,

I'll still remember you.

Your pretty face

Is fading along

With the summertime.
