Will You Ever Be a Poet
Did you ever have a lover
with long red hair?
For long red hair
seems too unfair.
Did you ever have a lover
and then another lover?
For there's added gain
if you feel no pain.
Did you ever have a lover
who loved your eyes
and never ever lied,
and let you cry?
Whatever was the trouble.
You'll never have a lover.
if you have no time for others
for love needs care,
say,what is here.
Here and there are many lovely people
who live with their lives with scruples;
if you're scruple free,
then let it be.
Oh,let it be is fine,
Except for the divine.
I want to be involved
For I can't please all the folk,
Who touch me with their talk.
My heart has melted down...
and now I've grown a world
completely on my own.
Were you ever quite alone
Like a toad under a stone?
Did you ever hear a groan
as you wrote your poem?
For you'll never write a poem
that makes me laugh..
Because my feet are in the shower
but my body's in the bath.
My head is on the shelf...
and I've lost all of my teeth...
Yet you will love me
Evermore.
What allure!
so clear..
Evermore and evermore
You'll be standing on the shore
Watching the horizon,
wondering what she lies on.
Oh,you'll never be a poet,
Unless you learn your notes..
They take you to the limit.....
Love.whatever is it?
Evermore ,evermore...
The words seem like a roar...
I love your heart's deep core.
Ever more and ever more.
