You’re the king of my universe
your poetry ignites my gentle heart
where the river was born to a peaceful flow
we stand together as one sweet soul
In this the tempestuous ocean of life
our paths have never crossed
there is no greater sorrow
than knowing our hands will never touch
but you are deep within me
from my love of poetry
you’ve led me to your great wisdom
“Love which absolves no one is beloved from loving”
you’ve captured me with your charm
my admiration for you
will bring me to my tragic death
and my dead torso will fall
onto the very cobbles
in which you were born
igniting
this, the great fire I have from within.
