Poems

Yue Wang Yitkbel May 2020
Verse 1:

Love like a summer child

Bask in the sun of your reverie

Hear the bluebirds perking wild  

Place your faith in the serendipity

Gone it may be, the passerby daffodils

But my love just bloomed in the dale

Marigold Marigold

Have you been sent to love me well?

Pre-Chorus:

Love this summer child

Wayward, unkempt and wild

I am the dreamer and the dreamed

Sprung from the last chimes of bluebells

Chorus:

Love free

Love wild

Love is gentle like Lily of the Nile

Love is the summer wine mild

Love is the marigold caressing me

Like you are always

Like you are now

The marigold and the summer child

The marigold and the summer child

The marigold

The summer child

The summer child

Unkempt and wild

Bridge:

Alas the summer will always leave

As leaves fall in the young boy’s dream

To kiss the earth and dust of eternity

And leave only impermanence to me

Verse 2:

Love is always for the beguiled

But never trust your memories

Clever the disguises of bluebells

They were not chimes but knells

Softly the sunflowers gaze fell

And my love withered and paled

Marigold Marigold

Your love is the fool’s gold now

Pre-Chorus:

Grief my summer child

Into the swamp you fell

I was the dreamer and the dreamed

It’s time to wake, wilt, and wither now

Chorus:

Love escapes

Love wilts

Love is the flower morning glory

Love’s in the blue hydrangea dwells

Love in the marigold’s fiery envy melts

Like you were never

But you are now

The marigold and the summer child

The marigold and the summer child

The marigold

The summer child

The summer child

Withers and wilts

CODA:

Summer will always leave

Summer will always leave

Summer will always leave

As summer turns to autumn leaves
Summer Child

Marigold Marigold
Is still alive
She comes back each summer
No matter how hard I try

She drowns under snow
And gets trampled all day
But her head pops back up
And she smiles and waves

Like it never occurred
As if it didn’t hurt
Marigold Marigold
Just can’t be spurred

Marigold Marigold
Why won’t you die?
How can you come back
With more color each time?
Be a marigold

golden bloom
safra Jun 2019
are you
the slightest bit
of my favourite old
marigold?

yes, you were
you were marigold all around
bloomed awake all year round
but my beloved summer bloom
left my heart a bit too soon

marigold and its fair beauty
is not as pretty
as i always knew they would be

marigold and its golden locks bloom free
was never fragrant
as i always believed it would be

marigold fitted in early morning's gown
was never sweet
as honey tainted were their crowns

you are
every bit of marigold
that slipped between my bedroom door
and in my gardens marigold tore

you are
every bit of marigold
my favourite bloom in vase displays
in bundles of little amber bouquets

and so do my marigolds wilt fast
golden yellow will be
unpolished brass
these soils take them home
back as seeds in beds of river foams

"goodbye to my
-beloved marigold"
is what i should've said
a long time ago
