i love reading poems but some of them are very hard to understand. anyways i would go ahead and post one of my favorites. hope you lik it
TOUCH ME
Summer is late, my heart.
Words plucked out of the air
some forty years ago
when I was wild with love
and torn almost in two
scatter like leaves this night
of whistling wind and rain.
It is my heart that's late,
it is my song that's flown.
Outdoors all afternoon
under a gunmetal sky
staking my garden down,
I kneeled to the crickets trilling
underfoot as if about
to burst from their crusty shells;
and like a child again
marveled to hear so clear
and brave a music pour
from such a small machine.
What makes the engine go?
Desire, desire, desire.
The longing for the dance
stirs in the buried life.
One season only,
and it's done.
So let the battered old willow
thrash against the windowpanes
and the house timbers creak.
Darling, do you remember
the man you married? Touch me,
remind me who I am.

I love reading and writing poems. About anything. I do so in English cause I am not fluent enough to do much in other languages yet.. Althought my gramar and punctuation has never been the best :) . I write for fun mainly althought I am trying to use it to help me out a little in finance area. You can read my poems here if you want to http://www.dnatureofdtrain.zzn.com Take Care! - DNatureofDTrain
