"Mad Girl's Love Song" by Sylvia Plath (Post #199)

Why am i blogging about a peom called Mad Girl's Love Song? i'm not a girl and i'm not really in the business of blogging about love songs. And since when do i read poetry? Well the Answer to all the questiona is i like this poem. despite not being a girl i still love the beautiful sense of loss and pain in this poem. And "I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead"...mmm, gotta love it. So anyway i have no point to this post, i'm just sharing some cool poetry with you. So, um, Enjoy!

Mad Girl's Love Song-by Sylvia Plath
"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.)"





Beautiful..........
