[POEM] SKY WITH ME

by: Desislava
(English Club Member from Bulgaria)

I'm leaving home - going out
and my thoughts are wondering about.
Walking along so many streets
seeing places where lovers meet.
Thinking about the past days
which were shined by the sunrays.
Days, full of light and joy changed by the dark times -
I realised I was just a toy -
Is this a revenge for my crimes?

The sky's full with grey clouds
and I'm just passing through the crowds
There's noone I know -
noone I can trust in this human flow.
I really miss you darling
I long for your face - so charming.
I realised your endless insolence
but i'm weak and full of impotence.
I saw you - you were quite surprised
that I just left - with you complied.
I didn't try to give it back
like I suffer from a feelings' lack.
It's not like this - believe
but i want your happiness to achieve.
And if it's written to be from me so far away
I will leave - with no delay

It started raining -
a quiet sound the drops were making.
As my heart from mourn was dying
the sky with me was sadly crying.

Did you know?
English picked up "doyen" from French in the 17th century. The French term in turn comes from the Late Latin word "decanus," which itself comes from the Greek "dekanos," meaning "chief of ten." A "doyen" can be a leader of a group, such as a diplomatic corps. In this regard, the word has been used to refer to someone who is specifically or tacitly allowed to speak for that group. More broadly, a "doyen" refers to a highly skilled and respected veteran of a particular field. The feminine form of "doyen" is "doyenne."

[GRM] HOW TO WRITE THE DATE

How to Write the Date in English

British: Day-Month-Year
14th March 1999
14 March 1999
