A TRIBUTE TO A POET


Can one die of ingesting poetry?

I hope not!
For you might have
A carpet of fallen hearts
In your wake
Their autumn come
Anon
And I for one
Would like to live some more
Breathing in your words
Waiting for life, and love
For those miracles I’m yet to know

However, dear poet
Don’t stop!
Just let your poems flow
And if they do kill me
Then carry me along, in your undertow
And I would revel in the thrill
Of passing
By your assassin rhyme
Oh-so-soft and slow…
Maybe
I’d rather
You drench me, drown me, slay me
With your poetic deathblow!
Maybe
It was just meant to be so
