'Write For Me'
the poetess beseeches
sheer misery and merry making
with words
such rhythms imply
engulfed by the wave of talent
makes the lover adore the
cloak of being a poet
the beauty of such flow
is a river of sighs
terrific tragedies be nary but
an essential exercise
of spiritual obstacles
to weave a wounded heart around
ah but through the deep caverns of sensitive talent
and clever word laying of the poetically gifted
such voluptuous a chasm creates in the reader
a chord of such sweet communion
breaking really no new ground
on the belief that all souls really are one
in the shaky, breakable, inescapable experience
of fallible love
making each realize
for themselves
every heart has the same capacity
and susceptible ability
to fall, recover or shatter just as
tragically as the previous
its the poets who sift through the debris
of heartache
to make a better case
for falling in love
one more time.......................
