My Poems Flowing Into A Gutter Of Her Heart

My Poems Flowing Into A Gutter Of Her Heart, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

all my poems
she reads once
before they
begin their journey
die and depart
into the boundless
gaping gutter
of her heart
wingless angel
sweet heart

lifeless in poetic
convulsions
carried to the morgue
in a hand cart
the slithering soul
of a cosmic

from the fecundity
of her raw flesh
she kept him apart
his efforts
she did thwart
sweet tart
the tastiest one
from the sweet mart

in a filthy
stinking morgue
she will be taken
