I Don't Know Why

Contributed by rusty1980 on Wednesday, 18th June 2003 @ 04:35:00 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

There's a lonely shore that longs for water
Like an old man who's lost a daughter
And a captive Bird too old to fly
When the cage is open and the sky's hung high.

There's an old house on a hill faraway
By the River that runs in an old forgotten town
"I'll love you still", was all he could say
The day she left him with a lost love's sound.

There was a time he'd once known
That just passed and left him alone
And all her kisses that he once stole
Would never fade away Oh if he'd only known.

Though it seems long when those words were said
The day she left him with his tears to shed
And the dreams he once knew were now long gone
Like a dying rose when the day is dawn.

Now the evenin's low and the moon's ridin’ high
There's a lonely tear that falls from the sky
And as I sing this song with a sigh
I don't know what And I know not why
But there's a part of it
That just makes me cry.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
