Cry of Love

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



There is little confusion
in your world

as it revolves
beyond your life illusions

it’s like sand on the beach

kissing each wave in passing

Ask the tree why it branches

And with the presence
of the wind

Why it’s leaves
dance…


Ask me why
i cry for your love

What do soldiers
live and die for

With your love…
i am
continuously in heat

You give me sweet relief

as i release…

From my heart and mind
all its hurt and pain

As i contemplate my love for you

as
Your love scent

lingers in my brain…
