Poem Commentary

I   WROTE THIS POEM YEARS AGO. THE MAN I MARRIED WAS  A DIFFICULT ONE   HIS FIRST WIFE  LEFT HIM.  HE    WAS  SO HURT AND HARDENED  EVEN THOUGH HE TRIED A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME IT WAS HARD   I AM NO EASY PERSON BY A LONG SHOT   BUT   I HELD ON .  We were not married yet.  when I  wrote this poem

Daily

Daily a person has pain

whether stubbing your toes,

tripping and falling on your nose

or another more serious pain,  in your heart

When I saw you yesterday I was happy

then with a feeling, a pain, as if from a dart

it hit me he didnt know me

why is this the way, it has to be

the look that said I dont know you

why should it be so   I am so blue

never did you encourage my love

you have never spoken out of turn

you never gave me hope but I saw it  

for my heart made me see what I needeed

it was you I wanted for he was empty

he!   being my love  

who cared not at all

for his love died when his wife said goodbye

we are one yet so alone

I saw  you and felt love

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
