in the end you are beautiful

i should work out fiction

in a poem about you



i should hide behind

the sun sitting on a beach

that changes the taste

of the rum drinks and

your dance floor



i should be romantic

and bring in the struggle

of the middle class



i should be better than

the current poet laureate

who is pretty good



i should not be the center

of the poem



you should start each line not i



you should be my desire in each nuance



you should be the whisper of beauty for all to feel



in a romantic struggle of the middle class



you posses the lips that without a word

calls out pleasure



you are the end and the beginning

and the curves of the middle



you are the one more poem i write

because you are what drives me beyond fiction



you should know

you are

I have been reading poetry for over thirty-five years, and I cannot remember a love poem (among the many I have read) that struck me in exactly this way, with this intensity and with its obvious demonstration of profoundest love. This is a poem to admire, to learn from, and to envy. You have achieved greatness here, and I applaud your accomplishment.
