Enclosed please find a poem that I am submitting…what i’d like to say about poetry is…”words itself have spoken this world into existence”
my poem:
Fallen
you know the words to my favorite song
we talk til 3am on a humid night in june
they say i’ve fallen but i don’t know
it’s more like losing altitude
i close my eyes and i can hear you speak
your pause, your hesitation
6am the phone rings and i pray it’s you
pay for 6 days and the sunday paper is free
it’s only the daily news
i asked moma if i could keep you
she said, only if you’d agree to stay
love is a two-way street “dear girl” she offered
as your gravitational pull lures me
and has me fearlessly obeying
your honey-suckle lips pursed in passion
and what they desire to do to me.
