Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

Why, WHY, oh why, would I shoot so much pain

Directly through the chambers of your heart

With words “that cannot fail to leave a lasting stain”

Except I love you?  Any martial art

That I might use I definitely would

Deploy to make you hear me.  I want you,

You, YOU.  I’d stab you with a bitterwood

Harpoon, if necessary, or haunt you,

If only I could make you understand

My needs from you.  I need your blood inside

My heart.  If I could ever find a gland

To take you in, I’d be your desperate bride.

  But I must be your groom, the one whom love

    Withholds.  I wait, your sacrificial dove.
