What Murphy Knows

Hi Everybody...brand new poem. Anyone have a piece I could use with it for Emotionography? I have no idea what sort of images would go good with this.


What Murphy Knows

I’d like to know what Murphy knows
he’s seen you when nobody’s watching
sticking your tongue at the mirrored girl
then smoky-eyed posing for Vikings

he knows how you fuss over your face
when you’re feeling homesick and blue
how you dance and prance to the radio,
bow, and curtsy to a beaming moon

I bet Murphy’s heard your midnight sighs
crying out to your fantasy lovers
and sensed your tingling goosebumpt-chills
when gray shadows creep over the covers

I long for the day we wake in a dream
drifting down time's murmuring flow
when at last you feel the truth in my touch
and I know what Murphy knows

For those of you who don't know me, I've been hanging out here for about six or seven years
and have a non-commercial website with my poetry in it that many FAA artist have
most generously contributed to. I use their pieces and put links to their website on the
piece and in a credits page.

Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry, I love love your poem..........! A beautiful lovesong. I have this painting that speaks of just this longing and knowing....yours if you wish it, although........it is so minimal and requires the viewer to......Know what Murphy, (and me), Knows.........sigh.

'Murphy' sounds like a cat to me...if not this one, definitely a cat ;o)

A bit of surrealism, perchance? =)

Jerry what a wonderful poem! You are always welcome to use my art...although you will have to pick :)

Wow, these are great folks...and yes Melissa, I was thinking of all the things a woman's pet (I was actually thinking dog, but cat probably makes more sense) sees. It's going to hard to pick from all these.

It's definitely worth a quick look!

Am afraid I don't have any images but I have to say I liked the poem very much !

Thanks Melissa, your picture actually got the vision in my head...I just happened to see Natalie's unfinished pic on facebook which I don't peruse that much and was floored. Her painting isn't finished but I truly think it fits the poem better as is and she was kind enough to let me use it.

Thanks Tina...I'm glad you like it :)
