My Heart Bleeds For You Poem by Hebert Logerie

Girl, I wake up this beautiful cool April morning
As strong as a lion in captivity, but only one thing
Is fussing me: you are far from me and my island
You are alone, frowzy and far away from the land.

I see your adumbral image when I close my eyes
I can't stop thinking about you and dreaming of you
I'm sad, demoralized and exasperated on a long cross
I'm afraid and I invoke with fervor the name of God.

My heart still bleeds abundantly for you, Darling
Steaming tears run down the surface of my face
I'm alone in quarantine, away from the painting.

Wherever you are, come to be pampered at my place
Some things aren't on the plate; I'm definitely upset
I'm now in the yard, in love, dried out and desperate.
