'Y' Days

On those days
that end in 'Y',
I wonder why
the earth orbits
and my thoughts
orbit around you.
Wonder why trees
are brown and green
and shine tween
rays of light;
like your eyes-
brown, and yet
reflecting the green of life.
You know they say,
if you think of someone too much,
you will think too much of them.
~~~~
But, try as I may,
and believe me I have,
it seems
these "y" ending days
are everywhere
all the time.
Yesterday,
today,
and tomorrow,
they surround me
with thoughts of you.
I see "Ys" and whys-
everywhere!
Hopeless? Yes!
Silly? Hell yes!
Crazy? No my straitjacket
no longer fits.
~~~~
Mystery,
intrigue
and the taste of
the painful complexities
life grips you with.
But this is not all I see.
Like a string,
vibrating as the fundamental
element of everything;
and when finally seen,
will unite the
Relativity of Quantum
and the reason why
a beating heart
can become the attractive force
binding humanity as one.
And leads to new mystery,
and the first time forever.
Always!
~~~~
How do I know?
I don't, not really.
But, I have read the poetry
you weave with light,
with the fundamental elements
vibrating in you.
~~~~
Today was another
of those "Y" ending days.
Cause just within
these few casual thoughts,
I realized all over again,
why I think of you too much;
and, think too much of you!

Author's Note

redzone
Note: my computer went all blue screen so using Kindle. But it does not allow me to embed music. If I could, I would embed 2songs: "1000 Years" and "The First Time Forever", from the movie Frozen. I believe this is the title.

Thanks for reading and follow links if you want to hear music

Great poem! This was such a pleasure to read!
And the song from Frozen, I love it!
I have the soundtrack, it's my daughter's favourite movie. (Until the next...)

what a great play on words, "think of you too much and think too much of you"
but then, that's only on the days that end in "y"---none of the others...:)))

this took me on a wonderful ride of devotion to another.

thoughts just keep orbiting, but always around the same person...YOU...

love creates obsession..and obsession turns to love...and that could be a good thing or a bad thing.

excellent piece.

Thanks Jacob, in some ways I approach the poems I write similarly, when someone reads it differently.. read more
“ if you think of someone too much, you will think too much of them. “ Now there’s a tautology if I ever saw one! Can you really think of someone too much? Can you obsess? Well, you can see those darned “whys”....they hide in every corner. Your wit and sagaciousness is showing, my friend.....this was such a delight to drink in! I think we all wear our own size of crazy...and only you can know when that straitjacket is too tight. Seems you are telling us about a mystery wrapped in an enigma....or some such thing. Lots of romantic longing staring out between the lines...and the stream of consciousness leads back to the shore of you.....which is quite nice, thank you very much! :) Lydi**

It's all my fault....and I will shoulder the blame willingly! :)
Those pesky days that end in Y...they all feel the same once you get old enough...the older you get, the more reflective you get, and the thinner your catalogue of memories gets...the straitjacket becomes form-fitting after a while, to the point where the belts aren't even needed...loved the wit, loved the mix of colours and environments...nicely done my friend :)

Frozen is my favourite movie and that song is boss! ;-) I adore this poem Curt and I agree with Julie, your words don't need music. Your sense of humour gets to me every time. You, my 'too young for me' friend are outstanding and blow me away!

Your words don't need music Curt...they stand beautifully on their own. I smiled as I read your words, so gentle and sweet.
I see "Ys" and whys-
everywhere!
Hopeless? Yes!
Silly? Hell yes!
Crazy? No my straitjacket
no longer fits.
I had to laught at this verse. You have a wonderful sense of humor. It is a pleasure to read your poetry.

You're such a kid at heart Curt, and that heart is HUGE...this was adorable, profound, funny, and sweet with a melody all i's own...

will unite the
Relativity of Quantum
and the reason why
a beating heart
can become the attractive force
binding humanity as one.
And leads to new mystery

I love the entire poem but I think you're onto something here...not only a loving heart but a wise man! I smiled throughout reading, and yes it's a day ending in Y ...I love that song too 1000 years...your charm vibrates on the page sweetie!
