MERE VERBS IN THE DICTIONARY?

di PoetaMatusèl

 

 

Dedicated to a beautiful, brilliant young lady

 

You –
amuse, antagonise, yet appease me,
bond me, boost me and better me,
chastise me, confuse and cuddle me,
decide me, delight me, divide me,
encourage, enthuse and excite me,
feed me, force me, forgive me,
glorify, gather and gladden me,
haunt me, heal me, and host me,
incite and inspire me, invite me,
know me, keep me and knead me,
like me, lull me and land me,
motivate, mother and mull me,
notice me, need me and nudge me,
overhaul, open and overwhelm me,
poke me, please me, protect me,
recharge and renew me, respect me,
support, surprise and sweeten me,
tease me, torment, yet tolerate me,
understand, unleash and unravel me,
value me, validate me and vex me,
warm me, water, still weather me,
x-clude me, x-pel me, x-ude me,
yet manage even to yearn for me –
if only to zero my zen resolutions.

And I?
I can only repay you by living one,
single, complex, yes, elementary verb,
that entails and encompasses others;
inescapable, indispensable, totally,
logical product and sum of them all –
loving you!

SERVUS SUM! (Or: UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS)

di PoetaMatusèl

 

 

For ‘Gez’

 

I don’t want to bore you with the usual silly words
– lovely, gorgeous, stunning, beautiful, etc. etc. –
but every time I see you I do simply forget again
all serious promises I made myself just yesterday.
And, if you speak so softly and look at me like that,
or if, worse still, stretch out your hand to touch me
(or even only feel the fabric of that shirt you like so),
do you think it possible for me not to dream of you?
Unless I should still manage to keep some self-control,
id est not lose it all, remembering that you – domina es!

SAILING SEPARATE SEAS

di PoetaMatusèl

 

 

For Lisa

 

Today I felt in my nostrils
the powerful smell of the sea,
but, sweetheart, it wasn’t that sea
where we both strolled together,
along dimly-lit beaches of hope,
where for instants I dreamed that
you could be the whole universe –
and nothing more beautiful, ever!

Today that same sea takes me far,
oh! so very distantly far from you,
like a new mermaid that lures me
towards unknown, remote, dangerous
waters, or uncharted dunes in the desert,
where a final destiny – an end-of-the-line –
impatiently ambushes impossible dreams…

POETS ARE PRETTY GOOD AT THEM!

di PoetaMatusèl

 

 

Why should the two of us ever have met,
defying all statistical fate and probability?
We didn’t have to sail Mediterranean Seas
(our beloved and yet bloody Mare Nostrum),
nor did we have to climb the Atlas Mountains,
nor cross your deadly yet fascinating deserts…
It took few clicks to get together in the ether,
but now I dream of you in scenes geographical,
compare your skin to moons of unknown beauty,
and promise we shall meet in The Bard’s theatres!
So, is it Love, or simply Spanish castles in the air?
