The Lovers’ Chronicle
Dear Muse,
this one came from somethin’
Sylvia Plath wrote, about
how we need someone
and what she needed
“No better inspiration,
such beauty and sadness”
the poems that stir me
are the ones where the poet
opens up what is inside their heart
and spreads it across the page
”And the ones that remind us”
yes, to cling to each other

to another
the one
to pour yourself into someone
the one
no greater need
nor want
nor greater fulfillment
and this certainty
as it should be
these words flowin’
across the page
for you

a certain,
lack thereof
goin’ on here
by choice
funny how, you never can figure
who you will meet, and care for
here in this vision, come read
the verse, yours really, while
outside mist and rain continue
and inside seekin’ the answers
and this
certainty
as it should be
© copyright 2019 mac tag/cowboy coleridge all rights reserved
cling to this
dances in dreams
stars in the sky
dangit…
this was gonna be
a poem about
waltzin’ the night away
with you under the big
starlit High Plains sky
or perhaps in a ballroom,
the McGregor,
with me in my tux & boots
& you in an evenin’ dress
but i ran outta time
so this will have to do

To cling to another
the one
To keep each other warm
To pour yourself into someone
the one
There can be no greater need
nor want
There can be no greater fulfillment
This is what I need. Short of that
I have these letters, these words
These words I pour onto the page
for you

How we need another soul to cling to, another body to keep us warm. I need this, I need someone to pour myself into. – Sylvia Plath

If Plath doesn’t come up I won’t be that bothered but if Kavnagh or Kinsella don’t…there will be war.
