Analysis of Vision expressed
Andy Lyle 1951 (Londonderry)
Feelings drying on the page
Written down when in a rage
Soon the mood of ink will be
Happier when you're close to me
Then the flow will freely come
Tears on page, there may be some
But the final line will say
She didn't love him anyway
The grass it looked a brighter green
When from the other side was seen
Through coloured lenses of deep blue
It gave the grass a different hue
Take off the ruby tinted glass
You fall right back upon your *ss
And realise the grass you seen
Was really brown no hint of green
So from now on you'll have to wear
These tinted specs to hide your care
And pain from all those prying eyes
So they don't see the tears you cry
