A Serenade of Truth February 24, 2008
Posted by Conrad Hubbard in : Pathos Poetry , trackbackI found a small collection of poems on my hard drive, all written for one beautiful person in the year 2000. As far as I can recall, nobody else except her has ever had a chance to read them. I haven’t seen her in many years, but I figured I would finally post the poems that came of that time.
A Serenade of Truth
Your glittering green eyes
have enchanted me
beyond any recovery
my helpless soul cries
for the touch of your fingers
and dances for joy as it lingers
your smile stirs my heart
with an irresistible might
that quickens my breath
and sharpens my sight
okay wait I’m sure
you have heard this before…
so…
oh, no, a serenade you said
and my spirit fell to the floor
you called me gentle the other day
and to that I can only say
there is a beast that rages in me
driven mad and made hungry
by the energy
you inspire in me
but it is soothed by the music
of your beautiful being
this gentleness you are seeing
is a measure of the awe you inspire
and conceals a raging fire
that consumes me like gasoline
but I didn’t want seen
because the effect you have on me
is too strong not to be scary
and despite your jokes of medication for this
you bring me bliss
and there is really no cure
for happiness
so my serenade
is not just some poem I made
but the gentleness you see
covering the beast
you inspire in me.
