We've spent a lot of time together <br />Poppy Brown and I, <br />Sitting by the window-ledge <br />Staring at the sky; <br />Keeping silent vigil watching <br />Up and down the street, <br />Passing many moments, Listening for her feet. <br /> <br />We've spent a lot of time together <br />Poppy Brown and I, <br />Playing out the hours <br />Passing slowly by; <br />Keeping silent company, <br />Quiet as the moon, <br />Waiting for our loved one, <br />Hoping she'll come soon. <br /> <br />We've spent a lot of time together <br />Poppy Brown and I, <br />Loving at the window-ledge <br />Waiting by and by; <br />Keeping silent vigil, <br />Playing out the night, <br />Looking to each other, <br />A kiss and then a fight. <br /> <br />We've spent a lot of time together <br />Poppy Brown and I, <br />Waiting out the hours <br />Willing them to fly; <br />Keeping silent company, <br />Our mutual request: <br />The imminent arrival of <br />The one we love the best. <br /> <br />(Written 28th March 2006)<br /><br />John Carter Brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poppy-brown-and-i/
