Sad My Love Song Poem by James McLain

It was only my one life that you lived for
and some times
the sun shined even through the rain.

Ahh and sometime upon the grass
though it's green, I pined for.
My weakness is your hair
I brush out
across full breasts such as yours.

One tall tree, one leafy green bush
the forest burns out of reach
in touch I can't feel.

You think of him as you ride me
the horseman knows
what you think each time that you fall
to rise to ride again.

Out of sight I sadly
reach out to grasp the full moon
upon the hill
as it races up behind me.

The smoking scorched earth
burning trees
bushes bent at such right odd angles
moss hangs up
from a chin upside down
streams gurgling.

I lay hidden by you in the middle
of the field
none the wiser
knowing full well, here I fell
here I died, in the cold
balls of fire.
