He Came to Teach Me

By Deb Benson

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

He came to teach me What I needed to know Chestnut hair Sky matching eyes Full moon smile Too beautiful for a man What a package he made Blind love Golden wrapped With black heart Betrayer of trust Untrue to me Untrue to self He came to teach me What I needed to know How to love How to lose How to come out SANE I judged his book Not by content But by cover He came to teach me Written March 1st, 2002 © on Mar 01 2002 06:36 AM PST   0 • 9
