Letter To a Gay Friend
Letter To A Gay Friend
I crossed the border of nature
That same night you took my picture,
It all happened fast, so fast and faster
Than my mind could contemplate if it matter.
It was clear as the blue sky in heaven,
In your eyes, and words, though even
The soft air coming to and from
The lovely music that charmed my form,
I read the spell. It forth out like
An Arab perfume to blend our heart alike
That our souls may speak same language,
So we had act the ego of ill age.
Grace, mine heed not but turned off the page
Only that I regret we meet these late.
But as a poet I own you this dare,
To sing your name to whoever care
To know how pure your heart is
With love; that I witness a jiffy in your bliss
May put back those broken hearts
Or awake the dead to watch you act
In your youthful figure this beauty
Lies, and your sweet tongue, o so witty
Were your thoughts. When you talk and wink
Like a sun flower, slow and quick
Slow and quick comes your smile
And your milky teeth are out a while
Telling this poor soul it’s all well
It is in bliss even much in hell
And hold each hands and draw in breath
And had a kiss not in dream nor death.
Alas! I must so sing your name
That an age tomb shall loss it fame,
For those sacred spirits to re-fly
This earth, and your immortality take our sky
So your kind shall live in the myth of man
And in my lines alone your tomb remain
Forever as long as man shall live,
May the last soul on earth read and leave
Behind, for you my friend a song I sing.
