Sunshine is Lost

by Drew Gold   Jul 17, 2006


The sunshine is lost and
I haven't seen you for days

the record's still spinning
repeating and screaming

as it finds its way towards
your hands cupped

in the rain, collecting
faint memories that warm

sizzle pop and then drift
upward; wisps of white smoke

through my fingers, rushing
out an open window

chasing the tail of an endless
ghost, adrift on the wind

as you stumble through a field
of lolling sunflowers: so happy

all broken at the neck
smiling sideways at the sun.

the sunshine is lost, left
searching through shadows

    I recently bought myself some books of poetry at the bookstore... Sandra Cisneros, Federico Garcia Lorca, and Sylvia Plath. I enjoy reading your work as much as I enjoy reading any of those, and I don't even have to pay for this! You should try making money off of this someday, if you haven't already.

    I liked it, great imagery, nice flow, sort of fades out in the end dont know if I liked that or not, The lack of capitals was good sort of made the reading easier and didnt demand a set rythym when you read it. Great job as always maybe use some other word for sun......if one exsists.....I dont think it does, but it would be good to see a synonym for it if it does.
