For A Friend In An Asylum In California Poem by Thomas Case

For A Friend In An Asylum In California

Rating: 4.8


Give me lazy lithium
days, soft asylum, Cheshire madness.
This sadness only
lasts
awhile, with sun burnt
smiles and ocean mist
kisses...

Give me sweet Mai-Tai
nights, gentle lunacy.
The Mad Hatter Moon
laughs at me, and
the fog only lasts a
little while.

Just one more time,
please stay awhile.

Poignant and beautiful! ! ! you capture so much emotion in this short succinct poem. A strawberry fields forever flavour but with an underlying sense of loneliness and longing reaching its peak in the last two lines. Lovely poem Thomas
