LOVE POEMS
Simon Collery

Love poems needn't talk of making love.
They can talk of commerce or of politics
As easily as they talk of ripening corn
And talk of cabbage prices in the market
As happily as moonlit walks in summer,
Of putting out the rubbish just the same
As contemplating roses on a bush.
But poetry can have a one-tracked mind;
Laundry day presents you with the sheets
Where love was made, the clothes you strew,
The sock you lost beneath the couch,
The couch where love was conceived. You needn't talk
Of that, no, you can talk of other things,
Of anything aside from making love.
But you can see your love in everything
And everything you see is making love.
