You'Re Heavy On My Mind Poem by Mary Nagy

You'Re Heavy On My Mind



It's silent
except for the buzzing
of the flourescent lights
in this deserted classroom.
I should be studying
but my thoughts keep drifting
back to our talk.
Is it possible
to make time for ''us''
without taking from ''them''?
You're so heavy on my mind
that the Behaviorist Theory
really seems irrelevant.

We both know
we've lost focus.
We admit
that everything else
comes first.
Lifes daily turmoils...
Can't we leave it all
for one day?

How do people do it?
Their lives are packed
full at every minute
yet they still manage
to spend time alone
together.
Does it take a special
kind of person?
Are we just too
unorganized to manage this?

If only for a moment
I want to look
into your eyes
and fall in love
again.
I want to lose myself
in the dark mystery
of those brown eyes
that have watched me
change from a child
to a woman.

The buzzing
of the flourescent lights
remind me
that I only have 2 days
to study.
You're still heavy on my mind.

WOW! Mary, I really am begining to see a much deeper poet here. I think that my challenge to you is begining to take root, because you ARE writing deeper work. Love this. Somehow, living gets in the way of loving. Well said, Dear One! Scarlett

A young lionness heart beats...to the heavy-ness of someone close...she smile knowing her time is short...but day dreaming is all she has for the moment...she smiles to herself...the test most go on...you are such a dear soul...mary...

Love is a distraction and so is life. It's so difficult to balance the two. If only there was more time in the day. Another nice poem Mary!
