Analysis of Come, stormy weather
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
My heart and soul on a journey, far
Sent, so long ago it’s written in the stars...
I'm all aglow, whenever you are near
Holding this secret,
you know all too well
To whisper in your ear,
so entuned to you...
Your taste Your touch, your scent(smell?)
Hoping to fly through the eye of the needle...
Hoping to deliver more than enough
(Before my life energies are all spent)
Of what in your heart you seek
in a hover...
Hoping to discover
why my soul ever came this way
Trying to be a friend
A better blend of who i am
A book with more or less pages
than what which someone else has said,
reading between the lines
Through the many layers of our searching
For more than self-satisfaction to pursue
The vernal passions of our lives
in efforts to become the perfect lover
but lost without a clue,
of whatever it is i am supposed to say or do,
making my best efforts
to focus my intellect on a distant focal point.
To find the pathway to the secret place,
where we pursue
the eternal fountain of a loving life,
there lives the genuine spirit
of our youth, where hope lives,
even through our sadness
and our happy hearts ...
Connecting our fondest dreams
in effort to making them come true,
protect the spirits of the children
Among us trying to connect the dots
Between what we truly are
and who we are not...
As i walk through the stinging mists
with an ancient calling kept,
even as we move cautiously ahead
In this place we do not know,
playing love songs in my head.
Bending sword into a bow,
seeking the perfect notes.
Opening my mind to the calling wind,
leaning back into eddies in the flow,
Releasing my Eros surrendering my love,
Which always seems to find
a way back home to you
Amidst the falling echoes,
as we begin to learn and do
for one another …little favors...
Sent more often without expecting in return
Listening intent, just in case they might
Like flowers dancing… to the winds of our emotions
As they do... From herbal essence
The scents, come wrapping their tendrils
In familiar ways our souls
finding a natural sense,
in ways which complement our moods
as we greet, one another
as if our last, arms reaching across forever
Always looking to be back around you
And you someone who knows just where to take it
Having never practiced how to fake it...
What would i do to see, you
finding joy beside me naked.
Even though,
Sometimes, we'll find seasons to make us cry
That come with stormy weather
or am i mistaken?
Standing in the shadows of my dreams
crying, alone against the void,
feeling my best efforts
are for naught, feeling lost
Destroyed dejected.
My heart unprotected,
when i reached out to touch you
Instead of sharing the moment
Coming closer together weeping for joy.
You looked hurt and annoyed
And in the depths of standing by
Prepared for doing my part
trying with all my heart
To understand, why can't i...
play like all the other good little girls and boys
As my inner harp chords resonate within,
And as i reach in to lift my voice and sing
All that comes out is strange noise as i vocalize
My alarm in emotions so intense,
My concentration, entranced/distracted…
Kept focused from one point to the next,
Arcing vividly against the night skies
As one spark leaps from one soul
back to the reflection,
of the first dawning lights return
Ending the fear of perpetual night
i see on station within my inner core,
From the streaming heart of a spirits passing
In an endless journey, from days of yore
Observed by the joint will between here
And the shores of evermore
Written in living sand,
pouring like water
Under the bridge
of an endless sunrise
Through the hourglass of eternity,
held in a vacuum as if kept at bay,
by forces
even the sandman
has yet to fully understand
falling ever so gently
in slow motion in perpetual suspense...
Back again, halfway through intentions of where it is
i want to be with you
