Love Poems

Bereft


Where had I heard this wind before
Change like this to a deeper roar?
What would it take my standing there for,
Holding open a restive door,
Looking downhill to a frothy shore?
Summer was past and day was past.
Somber clouds in the west were massed.
Out in the porch's sagging floor
Leaves got up in a coil and hissed,
Blindly struck at my knee and missed.
Something sinister in the tone
Told me my secret must be known:
Word I was in the house alone
Somehow must have gotten abroad,
Word I was in my life alone,
Word I had no one left but God.

Don't forget that he "refuses to say the pdelge of allegiance". I can't tell you how many times I saw that in my email inbox. Oh, and a few people tried to say that he is really the son of Malcolm X! I don't think it's just the conservatives who are insane, though. There are liberals who are convinced that Obama is personally going to make their mortgage payments for them and keep their gas tanks full. *sigh*
