She's a Poet
Don't fall in love with a poet --
She'll speak only in riddles and metaphors
And expect you to comprehend
Or maybe even reply in verse of your own.
When you ask her what
Her favorite flavor of ice cream is,
She'll say wheatgrass,
And to favorite color,
She'll proclaim strawberry.
If she loves you back, she might
Say your skin is her sky,
And your eyes, her sun.
She will not be satisfied if you call her beautiful --
She strives for radiance and enlightenment.
She will prefer rich violets to red roses,
Bleeding cherries to chocolate,
And running barefoot through tulips
Instead of candlelight dinners.
And if you spite her?
