Notes About The Poem
Why don't you pull up a chair
and stay here awhile?
I Swear I Want To Die
It’s our second date.
On our first date we talked until sun rise
all I wanted to do was to keep looking at you,
to keep looking at your lips,
to keep looking at your eyes,
listen to you attentively.
I should tell you
I was resentful
of the morning light
placed a dot
on chapter one
of you and me.
This time we start our date
at my favourite restaurant.
You tell me you love it.
We dine in the divine atmosphere
of two strangers slowly becoming friends.
Your laugh sends joy
back to my past,
through to my future,
your laugh is my joyful present .
Your smile hugs my body.
I think you may be the one.
Then I wonder if I spoke my thought out loud.
Coincidentally you suddenly hold my hand
with both of yours
as you speak to me looking at me eye to eye.
I swear I want to die,
now,
in this perfect moment,
in this perfect us.
I don’t remember leaving.
I do leave
but this time I don’t feel alone.
This time I feel you with me.
I start to laugh happy in this silly me.
I paint you from memory
on the retina of my eye.
I fall asleep
just to
visit you
in my dreams.
