Dumb of heart of mine missed the blow,
Summer days are frozen by my tongue of snow,
The clock ticks away the chance;
The music played, I refused to dance.
Sun shone over my head;
I covered it with cloud; salty rain shed,
The river of glory is dead and dry;
Funny clown forgot how to smile.
You served me somethin' to eat, I pretended full,
Deafened ears of mine heard nothin' when you call.
Here I am with gloomy day;
Wishin the cruel wind will be kind to blow you back to me,
Blamin'on wine, Soaking in the sea;
How fool I was to spill my cup of tea.
'Sun shone over my head' - 'Salty rains shed' - these are both good reflections from a good poetic mind. I like your title too - - it puts a question mark in the reader's mind, and gives food for thought.....keep writing.... best wishes from Fay.
