LADY SO SAD SO BLUE
lady so sad
so blue
who
are
you?
figment of
my imagination
I painted
on some past occasion?
no,you EXIST somewhere
anywhere everywhere
here,there
with your
heart so sad
though
the artist
who painted you
exulted in his creation
and felt very glad
life's not fair
perhaps he didn't care
didn't care
to wipe the
sadness away
seems he
put it there
to stay...
but tomorrow
will always come
and that tree in
the orchard might
drop its ripe plum
just for you,
my lady so sad so blue
and your knight
in shining armor
will be there too
opening his arms
only for you

On my RL it goes candycrier....
It's like you tapped into my feelings of the past few months...
Am sure it will resonate with a lot of other women as well...

I especially liked writing this poem. It appealed to my romantic instincts and my appreciation of the more relaxed, sentimental (in the best sense) European tradition of poesy. I'm honored it gained your reading list.

Ah, candycrier, luv ~ :-*
For some reason, I am haunted by the pervasive strains of a vastly slowed down Sophisticated Lady by Duke Ellington while reading this; makes me want to sing it, luv.
So full of poignance this is...

Yes, I can feel Duke's haunting strains here.And not to get too maudlin about it, I felt I was speaking to ALL the sad ladies of the world in this piece.

Must say, I feel as if these words were meant for me.. they were needed, well they are always needed for a heart such mine; though am sure others received the message as deep but.. haaa, I feel calm as of now. Beauteous.
