A Rule Against Cherubic Letters

Shouldn\'t allow myself to write poems about it

Because writing poems means the lilac thoughts commit 

But I\'ve been eerily haunted by the ghost of cupid

He threatens me with arrows and taunts me to admit 

What\'s the use of boarding a sacred, doomed-to-sink ship?

Can\'t pretend not to recall last fall and its death grip

So as a rule against cherubic letters and heartbreak

 

Go back to Loch Ness

Sink beneath cold waters

Blind out the lights and voices

Don\'t talk to strangers or you might fall in love
