Poem Written Beneath a Blue Lampshade
POEM WRITTEN BENEATH A BLUE LAMPSHADE
Jose Garcia Villa
Read by Julio dela Cruz I speak this poem tenderly
It being for you
And
For you only – We were not
Afraid and we did take love
Gorgeously.
We had no fears.
We knew love we knew it and
We were dancers for it
And also
We were rivers, we were moonlight
And also we were winds
As also
We were gods. And all this
Is remembrance, and all this
Is desire.
But also it is love.
