i can’t seem
i can’t seem
to find
i can’t seem to find
what it is i’m lookin’ for
it’s one of a kind
like a night bleached star
sparklin’ all pretty from afar

i can’t seem to find
what it is i’m lookin’ for
all my hopes now resigned
to love behind closed doors
all my dreams now swept from shore
i can’t seem
i can’t seem
to keep
i can’t seem to keep
what it is i found
it all washed away in the ocean deep
makin’ its way all hell-bent bound
like ever’ thing else just gave up and drowned
i can’t seem
i can’t seem
to find
to keep
what was only a dream
in my dark dark mind
did it all float downstream
like vanilla cream
did i leave it somewhere behind
all laid out for your lecherous kind
i can’t see
i can’t see
didn’t nobody hear me scream
it was only a dream...

Gulp. If u can't find it, how can I?
Woohoo, I like this poem. Nicely balanced, nice rhythm to it IMHO.
You can't seem to find what it is you're looking for, you say? Well, don't try too hard, woman, because you could succeed, and maybe you don't really want too.
we are all just following the signs, trying to make our way...and sometimes the signs are more easily seen...thanks for coming by, trish!
hi roger! so glad you like - this was scribbled on a piece of paper in the middle of the night last week when i had insomnia - well, sometimes we find what we've been looking for but having that thing is something else - anyway, thanks so much for your kind kind words! ;)
Hey Louisiana Lady! Congrats on your new blog and book! Looks like you've been busy. As always, I love the poem! Cheers my dear friend!
how wonderful to see you again, kindred louisiana spirit! i drop by your place from time to time so that my taste buds don't forget what real food is! you must be surrounded by all that magnificent lush louisiana flora of spring now! how wonderful - again, great to see you - hope all is well with you and yours! xxx
You express these feelings so well.
How great to be creative when you can't sleep.
'Night bleached star' - love it. Beautifully written and how I recognise the subject!
many thanks, pat - well, the past few months have included many sleepless nights so it was good that i could at least occupy my mind! ;)
hi john - you know, it's really odd how we develop an affinity for certain phrases/poems that we ourselves have written - and the phrase you mention "night bleached star" is one of those for me - no clue from whence it came but i love it and it warms my heart to know that someone else does, as well - thanks very much for coming by and leaving such kind words!
