Explain Poem by Mark. A Heathcote

What was that?
Explain...
I get that look all the time.
My face hides nothing.
To my shame.

If I love you
The world takes my hand.
If I am sorrowful
There is a midnight light.
Trembling to feel, to think
I am not all alone.

What was that?
Explain...
I get that look all the time.
My face hides nothing.
To my shame.

If I kiss you
You are my life, my sunshine.
If my eyes are rolling
The road is calling.
Maybe a rambling river
Wants sipping just to ease my pain.


What was that?
Explain...
I get that look all the time.
My face hides nothing.
To my shame.

Why did you dig over the garden?
Once again
Didn't it meet your exacting requirements?
Wasn't it Eden?
Are you still thirsty?
Speak, explain.
Am I too much?
Darling, I'm not a weed to be put in the shade.
