'To Kitten, For Her Jealousy'
Tears for father, tears for mother, Tears for sister, tears for brother. There was nothing left to lose Until she came along. Torn from the ones I loved, I was lost at sea, adrift in tears, Resigned to three more years Of this Purgatory. A knife was my God, Death loomed like an impending bomb On my concience. I was alone, Except for Kitten, so far away, She, my soul's lover. I loved her Through a telephone wire, Now and forever, Amen. My lovely Lethe, my soul's mate, I call you Kitten with love, Remembering your Asian eyes, and lashes long, Bearing no mascara. There is nothing left to lose except for you. I will lend my tears to my kin And my smile to the world, But I would give them all to you. Written November 5th, 2001 © on Nov 05 2001 08:08 AM PST 10 • 0
