PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you are this great avalanche of sadness

that I could never pity

even though so often your gift dragged its words

out of all that wrenching muck

to pose its plumage so lovingly

our paths were so different yet we

so similar

just one big chasm to confess

I wallowed in joy only to occasionally

trip into my melancholy

where as you

moved through life beneath an anvil of

astronomical sadness

only to light up like the Southern cross

upon the first snippet

of a received email

'From A Lady Poet, Truly'

who admired your talent

and your raw rugged male

inner beauty

so shamelessly much

I feel like I've not only met this most marvelous man

but at the same time saved some poor soul

from drowning himself in a sea of his own restless

tears

don't you know

we rectify the untamed beauty of the yet to come years

the gift of your heart

and the unveiling of your consistent honesty

just makes me hunger to know you more

and steer you with nary a regret

to the nearest meadow clear

I am a lady of light

my good man don't you recall

where there is light

no darkness can prevail upon

my path

give me your hand and we shall

glow in gorgeous glaring delight

and you are that my dear

in a great many ways

a true, true delight

so divorce yourself of your sadness

and marry yourself to my joy

I can promise

your reverent poet's heart

you won't regret it

not for a billion trillion plenty breaths

to come

mark my rhyming

( and sometimes not rhyming )
