He asked,
“What do you want from me? “
I looked at him
and did not answer
I should have
told him then
what I thought was obvious…
Let the light
I see within
your soul
shine through
your past darkness.
Do not waste
the talents
you possess.
Love yourself
as I love you…
From Her Excellency Telepathic Garden, a new book of poetry on which I am working.
