never love a poet

a poet sees your heart

finds it first and talks to it

knows what makes it move

and does what comes naturally

right or wrong

never love a poet

for he's been to the dark places

and knows the armor that love is

against death

never love a poet

for the instant you do

he will stop his song and dissolve

into you

but its ok.

you can love me.

i'm not a poet.
