Simple Verses of Love
As much as anything,
we are our words --
increments of twists and
turns, joys~ inevitable burns
(one's acrobat of verbal
written being)
As much as anything
what we think we should
feel -- important less right
and wrong~
At our best when together
keeping it real --
Reams of letters freeing
can also be a bound fetter
less important is the letter
If only lines of division
let that paper go up
in flame! We are far
more than our portraits
and names, marble busts,
insatiable art-lusts
States have their politics
and God far above
a mere poet, inclined I am
more often to humbly settle
for simple verses of love --
