baby

baby

I wake up this morning, still in the middle a dream

Someoneโ€™s knocking on my door, calling my name

Feels so good to be in bed with nothing left to prove

My head is full of spiders and my feet are sticking

I got no baby to feed anymore; so, no use leaving my bed

ย And if I canโ€™t run away with my dignity; as once I could

ย Thereโ€™s no reason to put on my shoes to pretend

I fall into laughter looking at my picture on the wall ย ย 

My baby, soon will come with breakfast, but he wonโ€™t

Stay too long, everybodyโ€™s got some place to go now ย 

ย Iโ€™m falling back into my dream, where it feels so right

ย Standing in the field, watching the rain taking all the light

ย Feeling like itโ€™s imagination, feeling like itโ€™s something real

ย This is such a powerful image Chrisย 

"Standing in the field, watching the rain taking all the light."

ย A high school student could spend a lot of time analyzing this for an essay - ย yet this poem is simple in about a relationship - ย inot just any relationship from what I can see - ย this piece is very special. ย LuV from Jai:)?

lol, I suppose they could, thank you for saying that....in Trinidad as a boy, I could stand in my backyard and see the rain coming from the far away sky, and quite literally see the light disappearing, it was freaking magic seeing that wall of rain coming....yeah, man this one is obviously about my mom, hanging out with her a lot soaking up all those old time stories; good and bad, cheers pal for your amazing commentย
