I First Met Her

 

I first met her

Strolling,

Through some

Of my lines,

A book of Neruda

Under her arm,

Humming a tune

From The Cure,

Sweet and sassy

She was, though

Unlucky with love,

For reasons I’m

Not really sure,

She came to me

Then, as at times

She still does,

But I don’t believe

She remembers,

When deep in the

Still and depths

Of the night,

She arrives

Unannounced

And rides me

Into her soul.
