Voice of My Poetic Lover

It is perfectly preposterous not

To fall in love with poetry.

For the poet creates the air…

…And the heavens 

Sweet verses we breathe.

 

The first time he made love to me

We danced.

He led me one word unto another

Leaving me entranced 

In his stanza.

He chanced a pen stroke

Then spoke his flow 

Slow, deep inside of me.

It mystified me…

Kinetic heat, in theory,

Lyrically emulsified beats…

…And liquefied my sheets, 

Literally!

Over again

He cried his piece

Rekindling my misery.

 

The memories from his words

Stirred my emotions unheard

Upon deaf ears

He referred it to:

Open-My-Heart Surgery -

Poetically taking me apart while

Piecing me together phonetically…

…He controlled me.

 

I’s his faithful servant

To which I followed him fervently

Deserving his expressions commends

I married them 

Condemned 

To no end…

That night I became 

MissApprehend:

“The Lover of Hymn”

Yet all over him

I misunderstand his rhythm.

Vague traces of symbolism

Plagued the pages like 

Some “Bubonic” Organism

In spite of skepticism…

He vaccinated all criticism!

With that

Blasé Blah mannerism

 

Nonetheless, 

I loved him thru the prism

Of unspoken words

It never occurred to me

That Karma’s relevance

Was written in silence

Benevolence was the medium

He needed me

And I needed him

We are the “HE” and the “POET”

Though it stand to be no other

Voice of My Poetic Lover.
