I Am Feeling Blue Poem by Sylvia Chidi

I woke up early this lovely morning
Trembling voices and my head is horning
But latest by the midnight hour
I want to feel like a majestic flower

I am feeling blue
My love wants to ride you
I am feeling sadly blue

In beauty and splendour of the earth
I still raise my eyebrows and fret
You my lady of fair beauty and black locks
Have trickled my world and crumbled my rock

And today while the sun shines its gold
In thoughts I know I should have been bold
And sun-stormed you with words of interest
Rays of my desire are scotched upon my chest

Tonight I shall dream off a world
That will leisurely come and go
Your scent, your lips, your smile
Hanging in that dark thin air for a while

I am feeling blue
These feelings of mine which are of great value
Sadly cannot transform into anything gloriously new
