WHEN POETS MAKE LOVE

My dear poet-

I am forever grateful to you

For allowing my body

To be your page

Letting your words

Ascend on my temple

And descend

On my feet

How long will I thank God

For giving me you

As our passionate and artistic sessions

Gracefully formed poetry in motion

Lord knows

My body yearned

And needed the eloquence

Your poetry provided

Our poetry combined

Gave birth to volcanic verses

And flood-like rushes

Of the most liberated conversation

My poet laureate

Thank you for allowing

Your art to transcend

Into poetic actions

Your ability to allow

Your love to flow

Like a pen on paper

Amazes me

When poets make love

Sacred books

Unlock their meanings

And the majestic powers of words

Fill the universe

With marvelous expressions

Our collaborated efforts

Awakened the most powerful of poets

Who long ago fell asleep

Happily summoned with the stars

To congratulate our poetic bliss

When we made love

Our poetry was forever

Imprinted in the hearts

of all poets

past, present, and yet to come

-Written and dedicated to a very dear poet
