me and poetry

take my hand 

go have frankfurter roasts

and marshmallow toasts

my heart is ripe with the joy 

of life

mindless we'll live

and mindless we'll love

mindless at last we'll die 

the world turned on in the lathe of time

the wind blew about

on a sunny day 

on a dry plain

you terrifying sprite

take in bite

in my brain

make me write

happy let's live

happy let's love

and happy let's die once more

just sleep holding me close and the night of deep dark death will pass

oh holy poetry

my greatest teacher

hide me in your embrace

lte us walk together

hand in hand

and dwell under the water fall

where shakespeare came to drink

near clear pools

nets of weed

and you my sweet

from head to feet

are glorious in deed
