Romantic poem of the week for
Tuesday, 23 October 2001
I saw her laughing standing at the bus stop
I asked her for a date
she laughed
We went to a rave she laughed
We went to her cabin at the freeway's end
she laughed
She laughed as we drank wine as we made love as she slept when she awoke in the
morning during our
shower at breakfast and when I left her at the bus stop where I first picked her up
Now everyday I drive by drive-by-love She is always at the bus stop laughing
in the snow ~ cold ~ rain ~
hail ~ karma
Because I take life so
seriously
(I
have Saturn and Pluto [both at 13.05 leo] conjunct
my Venus, Sun and MH in Leo in a Capricorn house)
I've never stopped to see her
again
But I still hear her
especially on
stormy nights laughing
and though it scares me so I
know someday too I will laugh like her
She no longer has the body at
the bus stop
Her laughter every full moon tries so desperately to enter me
But as long as I refuse to
laugh
I will never become possessed
by her.
