Eleven Reasons For Love (Free verse) by horus8
I. Children are the purest teachers
capable even of walking on water,
and spontaneous laughter.
II. Woman are the mothers and sisters
of heroes. They should be kept safe,
and treated with respect, and honor.
III. Man is the hardwork of giants,
and the gentle hairy kisses of
little boys reaped as golden wheat.
IV. This plan(e)t is perfect in its ways,
but we are flawed, and ignorant
Blind to the flowers of Christs
V. The stranger, the stranger is whatever
you want it to be, but that does not
make the stranger safe, or predictable.
VI. The sun, well what can I say?
The sun is fucking fantastic; a much
better suited parent than yours
VII. Mountains, full of forest and rock
monsters and caves, gold! Eureka!
Another way to get lost and found
VIII. Oceans hide gods and secret
Graveyards of diatoms, and cities
of coral and aphrodite. Wonders.
IX. The Sky is quick freezing warmth
and houses spirits and Astaroth
Vimmanas & warlords; breeze upon my cheek
X. Deserts, deserts hold underground treasures
They teem with life, and chaparel abounds
with smells of death and promise.
XI. Serpents, cosmic or not, kundalini
What power? What words? What absurdities?
Housing such sin that can't run.
