National Poetry Month

[i_kender]

Isn't April National Poetry Month or something? Very well.

Here's the only poem of mine I know by heart. Written in... 1997? Probably.

The Embrace © Mehran Baluch

I will say farewell again
And paint the mirror over
Lock the world out from my room
And drink myself sober

I will bellow out your name
In the city streets at night
Whisper it to the trees by day
And set them alight

I will never trust the moon again
(she’s fickle as sweet laughter)
And though, my love, I miss your kiss
I fear what follows after

And so, my love, I must resist –
Or else disaster
