Ooh! Ooh! I'm Drowning OutA Poem by Robert Robbie Lord DudleyAlthough, not that expressive Definitely not by me Shall we say So to speak Clearer tomorrow darker Well maybe so Do remember Do remain Behind those eyes In between was us as two wings Upon this night of fears How the mask uncovers Of years ago That had been worn true Not by me in none My own thinking The awakening was finding I see you out there Has left in me in a hole Looking upwards With no remarks To put lost leaves I took a trip across the road And broke the ice Turning in the Spring I didn't notice the water And the memory Stirring and spilling over Who really does, just Now, now, now And, new, wow Onto those striving all blue Not done yet gone Suddenly blue skies In my shoes To bloom forth from The longing to do something With a new hinge Upon the door Upon the attitude What's going on Deep inside Being a part of this From in it From in it with feathers To be reconsidered The difference In a glimmering night Where did it go What did it say I shuttered so wondering Ooh! Ooh! I'm drowning out Like a pen Like a leaf Like a page Has left in me from there To go forth So sparkling and so murky Somebody's shining In the snow and the view On the window I may get lost Upon the chance Just let it fall To find out To flow out Following the same sounds Just let me speak Upon the great ray of hope On a circling drain From far away Calling again Into the silent wind Underneath sheets at full sail Warm and sunny I was raised On a quiet floor Upon the breeze to unfold On a course uncharted Thus reascending This Winter and throwing Upon the stars And seeing that through Revise, revise, revise And dwelling on I'm still alive And collecting the drifting wood Upon the frost Feathery and free Swooping around The sunrays on the rooftop Upon dark corners Many land there I took a trip across the way And broke the ice For a lighter, better world At the bottom As it goes by Surprise, surprise, surprise In all, overall And that it be all but for A boat in a fog Upon the great ray of hope Upon the ground Upon the thought What is that I don't know When it did occured to me I don't see I must finish this It might not make it One bit better again It should be Not, like, those Not, like, theirs is It's my life I see you out there Everything's a blur Unloading words It's my story To plant anew Turning in the Spring Hidden by clouds If anyplace or further more Let's push What's next to hold it close The bookcase The drainpipe The mirror Turning it over To have a look inside Behind the veil Belonging to you Upon the lake before The arguments The fragments of times after I try to look in or at How will it turn out The fear and the loathing Meaning well Noticing the flowers All my hours Growing lovely And still to struggle Upon a wishing well They may in enough Until explaination is this And that it be all but for A boat in a fog Nothing at all Just like that One rolling along Across once again Like the moon Taking, leaving the corners off Stumbling down to the past Upon the path Of uncertainty Ooh! Ooh! I'm drowning out And wondering Almost counts In a glimmering night Has left in me from there Tossing around For an objective As it made me more I took a walk I'm here and I'm back Just let me spark Where i need not be In the center Upon a hill shining Has left in me from here along Sending up A mountain of song That stops then But not before it pours Out somewheres I'm just about there Upon the scattered verses The woe it won't be-gone I'm still learning something I took a look at the vase Behind the vast shelf Almost seems For an detail drawing Upon a line Not by me in none My own mind My soul contrives it In broken pieces In the early morning Has left in me from here along Sending up A mountain of song That starts then But not before it pours Out somewheres I'm just about there Finding in the picture The same framework Meaning well By another nice gain How certain I feel the same Of other spots we went Troubled in a way Different than Of some feeling that Won't let go Oh it's O.K. man It's unimportant I'm enchanted Upon the attitude What's going on Deep inside Being a part of this From in it From in it with feathers To be reconsidered The difference In a glimmering night Where did it go What did it say I shuttered so wondering Ooh! Ooh! I'm drowning out Continously and still going ahead Until it's gone Never gone Over and over Waiting and waiting Even when following each Of the deepest footsteps It's not so much A massive problem How I am Thus concentrating Holding steady on I will be That's what I can do All the way Yes, and I was, also lost Only wandering Shall we say So to speak As a free spirit I was often awashed away Upon the great ray of hope With and without Seeking means Moving on in a wide Extended edge At the surface I won't ever get it Aimlessly and still going ahead Until it's gone Never done Over and over Waiting and waiting Against the wall On all kinds of rocks On which it runs blind Upon the sand Looking upwards With no remarks Underneath it By the streams That's not so much clear Pouring down Alongsides the stars As the waves do rage on Finding in the picture Taking, leaving the corners off Stumbling down to the past Upon the path Of uncertainty As I caught the burst Sitting on a cloud In the rain Upon the storm Hitting the water Hitting the paper Bending it around Upon the eye Beneath the shadows Upon the brance What seems to disappear Upon the hand Of uncertainty A lost ship A boat in a fog A strange cloud it was Within reaching Between the horizon Before me moving In the deep darkness All cleared away It is in the road It is in the sound soaring Flying over running fast Now and then And so forth Upon the face With and without Seeking response After a beer After a match Looking upwards With no remarks Underneath it Found in the mess To ease off some Brings to rest The way back again Upon a tree As it made me dwell It's awesome In shades to hide away in From the fields Upon the path Of uncertainty Shall we say So to speak Clearer tomorrow darker Shall we say So to speak To go forth A day at heavy seas To keep on going For another golden circle In all, overall And that it be all but for A boat in a fog Upon the great ray of hope In the deep darkness I'm free from the pain Will, I ? Will, I ? To feel set Totally free And foot loose Upon the fields Taken from upon The air everyday at times Has left in me in a room Where to lay A book of poems Through and through It's my mind Unloading words Again, again, it will until It just happens along Ooh! Ooh! I'm drowning out Although, not that expressive Definitely not by me Shall we say So to speak Clearer tomorrow darker Well maybe so Do remember Do remain Behind those eyes © 2015 Robert Robbie Lord Dudley |
