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.
