L'Nass Shango Poet Verse

To Lauris

I want to write a poem about love
Somebody teach me
I never wrote a poem about love
O teacher, help me
To squeeze the serpent until he dies
To swallow fruit without the seed
To freeze eternity in her vacuous eyes
To plant the grape and never bleed
I want to write of naked mornings
Shivering in the fleece of my embrace
I want to tell of tropic longings
Etched upon the mural of her face
I want to drink the nectar of her desire
And take the sugar core of agony apart
To taste the candy made from fire
And keep her cuddled in my heart.
How do you write a poem about love? how
Do you recover the dusty ton of vow
With words? O give me wings
My flesh is webbed by tenuous things.
