    Commitment and wishes


    the car continued its movement
    into the night,

    chasing stars from the sky and committing

    the fingers of one lover
    to the open mouthed moans
    of another.

    i follow your footsteps out of the open door
    where we parked,
    and onto the weakening reach of a sandy beach.

    now the stars follow us.

    your voice opens for a moment
    and the rest of my life becomes

    your soul.

    there alone in the world we
    deceive openly the offerings
    of each others love,

    but are forever one
    in our decision to
    continue,

    together,

    inspite of our most recent betrayal.

    good work. Thanks!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
