Can I be corny and post my favorite poem?

[Minimus]

my xanax is kicking in and I am in a weird mood tonight. So please just ignore me or enjoy the poem with me.


Wind and Window Flower
by Robert Frost

Lovers, forget you love,
and list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.

When the frosty window veil
was melted down at noon.
And the caged yellow bird
hung over her in tune.

He marked her through the pane,
he could not help but mark,
And only passed her by,
to come again at dark.

He was a winter wind,
concerned with ice and snow,
dead weeds and unmated birds,
and little of love could know.

But he sighed upon the sill,
he gave the sash a shake,
as witness all within
who lay that night awake.

Perchance he half prevailed
to win her for the flight
from the firelit looking glass
and warm stove-window light.

But the flower leaned aside
and thought of not to say,
And morning found the breeze
a hundred miles away.


I think I will stay away from the Sylvia Plath this evening.

5. In a similar situation, I assuaged my pain thusly:

I love you;
Even though you are gone
Even now, I don't believe.
I rage against your leaving
And the effect you had.

Then, I realize
The changes that you brought
Were all for the good of me.

Do you realize the changes
I brought to you?
Do you wistfully remember,
And yearn for yesterday?


I don't know if it all fits or not...but it helped me to write of my feelings. Then, it hurt, now it brings back bittersweet, but good memories.
