I have left my heart <br />In the high, high sky <br />That you might still see <br />When I’m gone, close by; <br />And I took your love <br />When you slept, sound, deep <br />And carried love away <br />Like a robber in your sleep. <br /> <br />I wrapped it in feathers <br />And put it in a sack, <br />Hid it in a forest, then <br />Carried on my back, <br />Took a peek at nightshine <br />Saw the feathers heave, <br />Heard a little sigh then: <br />‘Why did you leave? ’ <br /> <br />And my tears flew wide <br />To the river, so long <br />That the banks ran over, <br />‘Til the people were gone, <br />I’m a one man only <br />Like a dark, dark star <br />While you sky light morning <br />With a face-cream jar. <br /> <br />I loved you then <br />Like I love you now <br />Like a heart that bursts <br />On an old ship’s prow; <br />Though I had to leave <br />When the moon went round <br />I will love you forever <br />‘Til the sun burns down. <br /> <br />19 June 2006<br /><br />David Lewis Paget<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chinglish-ai/
