I wrote three love poems while I was waiting
1.
Bukowski loved redheads
with hair all the way
down to their round ass
and you say you wouldn’t
read anything written by
a blonde,
if I told you I have
grown colourless with age,
and if I asked you
to love me anyway,
Would you?
Would you love
the brown eyes
of this Poem,
spilling
and dancing,
hungering
to be Yours?
2.
I want to write a love
poem of reckless nights dipped in cerulean ink
and pink English roses,
swim across the Atlantic
tireless and fearless
meet you with
salt on my breath
hungry for the taste of
reshly baked rye, strawberry jelly,
our Buddha bellies
smiling.
3.
Damn it, anyway,
I wish I had never heard of Rumi
and his Beloved Shams,
I wish I had never known this
anguish, this fire of separation,
this cruel, beautiful world
so beautiful and cruel,
gathering
in for the
kill,
killing me again
and again,
an easy death,
such an easy easy death,
Beloved
I know you,
I know your name….
and mercy,
my Darling Rumi,
did your Shams
know of human mercy?
