Poetry For Everyday People
You Know
when the kiss
is perfect
on your need,
when the poem
sits as a quilt
on your heart,
when your pain
finds peace,
you know what part
of you needs touched,
where you need
the next kiss, caress,
what words you wanna
hear, feel,
you know what mood
to set for you, how
many candles you need
lit, what music to play,
what book to read,
I lay poems at
your feet, you can
pick them up or step
on them, read them
or light them on fire,
pass them on or keep them
for yourself
or you can take
mind tools to them and open
them up like a frog in Biology,
but then the poem's dead.
The moon is silent
from here,
yet we all know
it speaks.
