Union

Labels: , , 0 observations

He hates this poem. It's true, hates it. But of all the hundreds of poems he has published, this one invariably gets a sizable chunk of the fan mail. So, he's stuck with it.

Union

do you really want to love me?
I am unworthy so often, self-absorbed
and given to the excess of ego of my
gender and my art. I will never see
a mirror without my demons, barbed
fangs and nails clinging tightly. why
you would want this tortured man
is a puzzle to me. but you give me
love and serenity. a home for this
vagabond heart. an holy band can
bind us, but no tighter than I wish
to be at one with you in an eternal kiss.

    Explaining the Tags

    You will note, gentle reader, that all works under this blog now display "tags" to help classify and assign the works for your review and enjoyment.

    These largely fall into 4 categories:

    Year of writing, e.g. "1999"
    Book published in, e.g. "from an unexpected quarter"
    Inspiring muse, e.g. "Aubergine"
    Genre, e.g. "erotica"

    We are still in the process of cleaning up the tags, so please bear with us. Yes, some muses are classified under more than one tag, some poems appear in more than one book, or not yet in any volume, and some years are...hazy.
