Valentine's Day

Well..i thought i could write a poem on this romantic eve...
but i guess.. sylvia plath just says it all in this poem..
its titled
MAD girl's love song


"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

Thank you for your comments on my blog! I'm glad to find yours as a result. I went straight for the Sylvia Plath. I'm not as familiar with her poetry as I am with her journals (LOVE them, and am now inspired to go back to them) but this poem is amazing. I only wish I'd seen it on Valentine's Day. :)
