Guru

GURU So I sent an inviting email To a bunch of Internet Women Asking them to join me for lunch Set my lonely heart to sail My Yahoo Bell rang a Lady replied Star Heart my new Love I sighed Her photo my future Mediterranean Bride Feelings unleashed Love’s flood tide I read her profile Intelligent, Funny, Spiritual Loves the Water, Forest, Mountains Italian Goddess with a Mona Lisa Smile Raven Black Hair, Ruby Red Lips, Smooth Olive Skin A body built for sin I need to be in But first...Her Mind...Her Soul...I must Win I received a second email reply She wrote I might be her type of guy My photo did not make her cry She wanted to know more about my Spiritual Side...Had I ever been to Mumbai God is this woman for real She loves Foreign Films...She is already making me squeal Yoga...Spirituality...She can make my soul heal This girl might be the real deal I woke up the next day strangely sad I checked my email a Star Heart new message was there Her GURU suddenly died..She said she could not talk She asked for a break to sort things out...This was Bad My desire, my heart on fire...cooled Her Spiritual Leader overruled Again Love played me the Fool Another Lesson learned at Heartbreak School I said a prayer to her Guru asking if I am the one for his Chela Will Love unite our two souls Will we come together Will I be her Special Fella So I drank some of India’s finest Chenin Blanc and went to bed I dreamt of the Guru who I thought was dead I was frozen with fear as he approached me and placed his hand on my head I turned to run but my legs were like lead The Guru told me in my current Life I will never find a Woman's Love Poets are cursed from birth The only Love they can receive is from writing about Suffering and Loss The wife you seek was never born...She is still above I fell to my knees and begged the Guru please give me hope I hate being a poet I only do it to save me from the rope I am a coward writing is the only way I can cope The Guru warned me to be careful too much Chenin Blanc will make me a Tope The hope I give you now is for all mankind Love everyone and everything Take no day for granted Explore Spirituality and a Higher Power so your soul, body and mind will learn to be kind Then the Guru struck my face and I awoke This dream nightmare was no joke The Guru wore a purple and yellow mourning cloak Maybe I need more Chenin Blanc to give my soul and mind a good soak
