Your voice, I'll take it
may it sing me softly home
Your touch, I'll take it
it's all I've ever known
Sit beneath the willow tree
but don't cry for me
Touch the earth, giving birth
for I am Life, you see?
I fed the flowers grown
that were cut so elegantly,
to lay against my will
upon a mound of earth
that could never contain me,
still
You insisted to lay your Daisies
when you knew I loved Geraniums
in a rainbow of colours
I could never be contained in
You placated me with Yellow and White?
Did I do you justice?
Would you never get it right?
I love colour, not just Black on White
I wrote a thousand words to you
every night
You read maybe, a hundred
and thought you knew me best.
But standing at my graveside
your Daises only prove
you knew
me less and less
