Black Horse

Milton H Peebles III on Dec 17, 2008

I wrote this just before I broke up with a girl during college.

I’ve walked this countryside
Many sunny days before,
But the black horse never
In my life had seen before.

It’s beauty is so great.
Oh, how I want so to touch.
Come closer black horse, please!
Oh, how I want so to touch.

She never noticed me.
She came to see me, alright
But she didn’t come with love.
Yet I did become so bright.

She showed some compassion
To my lowlied soul this day.
I thought that she did love
And I lover her so this day.

She realized her feelings
And now she is to leave me
The way I had done so
To those that had love for me.

Don’t leave me, I love you.
I cannot take it this way.
Please don’t leave me feeling
Like I couldn’t live one more day.

Come back to me,
Don’t leave me this way
Please come back and stay.
Oh, I do pray
Come back to me.

Black horse come back
And never leave me
I hope you shall see
How I do plea
Black horse come back.

I’ve walked this countryside
Many sunny days again.
But I haven’t seen black horse
Ever in my life again.

Be quiet and wait, the Black Horse goes where it will. Who knows it may show up again. Yes, I am the girl in college and you really scared me with this one at the time.

Well written poem. It is sad that we dwell so such much on love lost and not look forward to finding a new one.

It is sad poem, but a very good one! We’ve all felt this way at least once . . .

Hi there!
