A Poor Poets Pledge Under the Shadow of a Rich Mans Love, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.
i told my wife
that i love her
undoubtedly
but i told
her i will not build
a marble monument
to mock
my love or humanity
her slave
i shall always be
although
she has not deleted
me yet from her sane
consciousness
time to time
she lets me free
provided i do
what i want to do
within the walls
of poetry
love the strangest
craziest
human emotion
to be in love or not to be
