Kurt Ravidas Poet Rhyme

I Thought I Knew

I thought I knew. I know I thought about
the diamond stars, the sweetness of the mead
the Venus brews of fossil bees, the bout 
of poetry which strength pledged to exceed
all prior ones. Alas, it’s true, my dear:
I thought about anything but you.
Oh, let me kiss this diamond of the tear
on your sweet lips which taste I thought I knew.
