You are tired (I think) .... By E.E. Cummings


“You are tired (I think),
of the always puzzle of living and doing;
and so am I.

Come with me, then,
and we’ll leave it far and far away—
only you and I, understand!

You have played (I think),
And broke the toys you were fondest of,
And are a little tired now;
Tired of things that break, and—
Just tired.
So am I.

But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight,
and knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart— Open to me!

For I will show you the places nobody knows,
and, if you like,
the perfect places of Sleep.

Ah, come with me!
I’ll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon,
that floats forever and a day;
I’ll sing you the Hyacinth song
of the probable stars;
I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream,
until I find the Only Flower,
Which shall keep (I think) your little heart
while the moon comes out of the sea.”

The Monsoon Ballad - 3 : Floral Romance!!

And the young and handsome Flower In full bloom Stood proud and tall in his glory "majestified"! Sweet summoning scent Of his perfume sets the heart a-throbbing Pulsating and b eating Leaves the senses mesmerized!! You see his proud stance and arrogant charm But seldom its known  that secretly he stalks the Sun! While he knows not That the bees and the drones Are soon gonna arrive Uninvited!!

Perhaps....

Alright, so you can seduce my mind and have my body. But, do you think its clever?!? I wonder how it'd be, Ah, its a silly thought, i know; as silly as me; But if you could find my soul and see me as a whole Then you could have me "forever"!!! Perhaps...
