I READ A LOVE POEM

I read a love poem,

and it spoke of pain.

Against fates odds

it did explain.

Of hate and love,

just the same.

It spoke...

It rhymed...

Of love defined

A perilous journey

................................tart

....................................to

...............................sweet

Like cheese

Like wine

Yes,

I read a love poem.

It turned my hips and mind.

Tales of trips

....................Sentiments

lies by pictures,

........................neglected

Hidden by shame

...........................by time.

I read this love poem.

It spoke,

and it said;

She was not forever

Even tides evaporate

giving way...

to salty wastelands,

wide.

Whilst fresh summer green succombs,

to a faded blue autumns day.

I fell in love with the love poem.

Indeed,

Indeed I did.

Because I didn't listen,

to the simplicity...

the simple sanity,

of what it said.

That love poem slathered acrylic

reds

greens

yellows

on my aching head

painting love bird's perched atop

some electric fence

Then dabbled in some

feather's

falling from the flesh.

There should have never been a doubt

in tow, to lead me to deceive

that should I perch atop that fence,

this the end,

would be.

Oh I read that love poem

and that poem was ablaze,

cauterizing human hearts,

with smells of Sunday's best.

for love has fallen from it's

perch, smoldering

upon winter's gray

...............................a firey

neurotic

mess

And I kept on reading that love poem

but it did me no good at all.

It was a one sided romance...

A dying leaf swimming freely

in a brownish foggy pond

Requests for second chances, all

appeals have been denied.

Just another begger

in a

bank

that has no cash to bare

Yes I read a love poem

And to my astonishment...

as if printed words

could screech,

a somber beckoning call,

from

that crinkled page

That silly little poem said

You...

.......knew not

......................Love

At all...
