Dear Myra

Dear Myra

A Poem by Alpris




Dear Myra,
please don't be mad at me


I was only pondering my thoughts on waters so calm I wished not to tread
but to dip in one toe at a time, enough to taste the thirst /
It's a shame the pond reflects such a sailboat on black seas above... half a moon is never much fun without the other half /
I have taken malicious bounds through delicious fields of green with grass as tall as a cat's fur on end; but even my own cries die down like hopeful embers on ash /
but you..Dear Myra, I will never forget the gist of your cry ; it has been laid out bluntly and beautifully like a tiger's death turned to rug of fur to cushion most peculiar stance /
I am your audience / I am your jester in courts of approval ;
I am the Messiah produced by passion who fed rich crowd
with simple ideas / you are the last I will love

I don't normally read or write about love (although all that is written or read is because of love) and I find few love poems truly, originally romantic (trully romantic I would rate Kite by Rives). But this one has so much purity and tenderness, such raw romance about it, it's intensity is fresh! It was re-read!

A nice write. I like the lines:
I will never forget the gist of your cry.
