I recently read a poem
Advising others to
Not fall in love with a poet
Most of you have probably read that poem
It was poem of the day
Just one week ago
And I have read it
Several times
But it wasn't until yesterday
When I realized
Just how much truth
Was seeped through
Jacqueline Flores' words
It wasn't until yesterday
When I was trying to find
The right way to describe my love
Compare his eyes to the ocean
His hair to sand
How he speaks
And so on
And so forth
And so it's true
Don't date a poet
Cause we watch
And we describe
Either colorfully
Or sparingly
We show the world
Through our own words
And we expose everything
Love, loss, hate, bitterness
EVERYTHING.
And if you can't deal with that
And appreciate that
Then don't date a poet.
