Poem

you:
who have grown
in sunken eyes
who i have shaped a year
from ignorance
to (carnal) knowledge
who love has taught
to hate
who coffee lips have kissed
and smoked desire
under an intimate dozen shades
who wisdom taught
to be a (different) fool
in a world of fools
to use
your body (is power)
your mind (your own)
and men.
