Aphorisms: critique of a poet.








Short , like our trust
I can't even find comfort
In the wriggly mind of a poet. 
A lost lifeline
Reducing the seductive embrace of words
To a few miserly tidings,
Aphorisms. 
Promisingly put in the middle of a blank page
Disappointing like phantom lover
Haste. Noisy. Missing.
Giving me no solace or thought
Meaningless , like the love we hoped 
Only a poet could cure.

Thousand Months.

Waiting for you to love me like I deserve it,  even though most nights, I fall asleep knowing I never deserved you.  Even for a minute I would give blood and sweat, for you to love me again, like you once did.  Im hurting, but so are you.  I wish I never wasted your love.  But I'll wait a thousand months, for you to love me like you did, Love me once again like I deserve it.
