The Two Poems:
the lazy lover
“then strike me down
blade out my heart
if I am not to find my love,
if I am to live in this world without her”
the young man screamed to the world
so the world sent a young woman
she approached him calmly
she unsheathed a blade
touched his shoulder
and cut out his
heart
and said
“if you are not man enough
to wait, to search,
to find me
and save me
from the loveless world you speak of
then you
do deserve
to be stricken down
you
with all your
cheap moaning”
the wolf & the sleeping deer
some women like a rough man
they like the feeling
that the wolf only allows the deer
to sleep by him
both knowing
he could
eat her
at any time
The Thought:
Better to be foolish from happiness than foolish from unhappiness.
From the book, Let The Poets Come & Stop Me.
