Midnight Mourning
I don't want to talk about war or the election
or race or religion.
I don't want to talk about oil or recession
or islam-nazi or cancer.
I want to talk about love, the love between two people
that cannot be shared with a third or anyone else.
I want to talk about extreme, forever love between two people,
this most dangerous expense of lives, that spends
all breath and all blood and all reason to live,
this only full expense of life that only two can share, once.
I don't want to talk about the smart-ass smirk on your face,
your rolling eyes, your hissed and hip comments.
I don't want to talk about what you know and what you think
and what you feel.
I only want to talk about love, the love between two people
that cannot be shared with a third,
what you do not know, what you cannot feel, except for
the extreme, forever fear of it.
And I will talk with you,
if you are patient with me,
and wait.
