The Boy Who Fell To Earth Poem by Charlie F. Kane

I was caught in the rain
But I was too busy dreaming
Too notice that I was getting wet.
In life you are so faithful
To a better man than I ever am
So I shall keep you in my dreams.

Don’t you know that I am
Thinking of you in ways
That are not quite right.
I wish these arms were holding you
So close and so tight.

But the dreams are better in the night
Because when you hold them up to light
They all seem to disappear
And illusions don’t seem so near.

I do not wish to take happiness from you
Or to inflict pain upon you
But I do wish you were mine.
When I fell to earth I found you first
And did not know you had caught me.

Well, you’ve got me now, it’s for time to tell
Whether I shall keep dreaming
Or whether it should all come true.
And with these visions formed in shades of gold
You know I’d never want to let you down.
