I am a cliche poet. I compare most of your parts To the cosmos; I refer to love as immortal, The soul as ethereal, The spirit as bird-like, Death as a cave, surely dark and lonely, And nature has a magnificient part With all its pathetic fallacies, Sunrises, sunsets, tides. I once compared a man's legs To an aerial roadmap, And a ***** to a bull frog In the Savanah. O, the crosses I've borne to explain saying I love you Without sounding trite. I may resort to prose And dress up the poetric mantra.
