Kimi Mulero Poems

Deep in love
cheek leaning on cheek we talked
of whatever came to our minds
just as it came
...

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again.
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.
...

Careful what you do
'Cause God is watching your every move
Hold my hand in the dark street
For if you do, I know that I'll be safe
...

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
...

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
...

When I go away from you
The world beats dead
Like a slackened drum.
I call out for you agaisnt the jutted stars
...

Time does not bring relief; you all have lied
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
...
