There was a man I knew
and just knowing him
made me think of poetry.
Loving him I learned
that accepting love
is as important as giving it
and the not so subtle difference
between loving lukewarm
and loving red hot.
Love like that
can make you stupid,
total-immersion kind of stupid,
but it made me want
to read poetry.
In a different time
and a different place
it might have worked,
but it was over and
when the last page was turned,
he was only a man I knew.
I have no regrets,
just one perfect memory.
And, because I loved him,
I write poetry.
Beautiful write...and a loving tribute, I loved the line; and when the last page was turned, he was only a man I knew...and the ending well, But because I loved him, I write poetry...wow! what a muse...enjoyed this much my friend...
Blessings and Happy New year!
