I will write one last
poem which bleed
from my wounds

And in its final verse,
I will write a rhyme,
and say, weeping,
what my heavy
heart truly feels

Not a suicide note.

Heartless

Heartless

Love is but a terrible pain
that leaves one’s heart in vain

I wrote this line in class and my doctor came to me and asked “What are you writing that could possibly be more important than Peter’s study?”

Come!

Come!

Come,
and lay down your sorrow
along with my solitude,
my heart is yours to break

Come!
let us abate this
intolerable agony
with lavender tea
and beautiful poetry

Longing

I endured your absence
when my heart longed
for your healing presence
