Image for the poem you

you're such a poet



if you make love in the moonlight
you have only made love in the moonlight
you have not written the great romance novel
you  have not composed the poem that would
shame the sonnets of Shakespeare

or painted your dreams across the sky dome of
the Sistine, in the faces of gods & angels
you have not transported the vessel of your
travesties to a utopian fantasy adorned with
oloroso rivers, Dali wildflowers & winged unicorns

you are still here
in the place where you made love

if you make love in the moonlight
I won’t look to the sky for a blazing star
that will lead me to the manger of a remarkable idea
I won’t expect the bountiful harvest that will feed all
the hungry children in the border towns of Purgatory
or the magic potion that will heal the sick, penitents of Lourdes

…I will wonder why
it isn’t with me

if you make love in the moonlight
