🔺 Teddy Day Poem :

You said that if my chest hurts,

you will bring me

a whole day

leisure and the fountain of dream.

.

You said that when the moon goes out,

you will be the moon in bed

With your head on the star pillow

then you will sing some tunes…  .

.

You said that rose buds

will spread caress on lips

in sleep & waking up…

.

How much spring

has come and gone

I did not wake up

in your touch.

.

So the moon went out

because you didn’t keep your promise

The spring wind

is still stopped…  

.

Yet the dream Teddy does not stop

The happiness of living

flies….   

.
