Your Typical Gushy Love Poem
The man who claims to know his mind is a liar.
The thing is a swirling cloud of misapprehensions,
Baseless beliefs, and self-aggrandizing folderol.
I ponder these thoughts as Haley approaches.
Am I in love?I'm thrilled that she's come.I'm eager
To hear what she says to me, but is the woman
Within who I want, or do I want the one within
Because she's inside such a beautiful shell, and my
"Love" is no more than a stratagem to keep it
At my side?

An enjoyable voice...curt, crisp and ripe with cutting clarity and insight.
your poems are passionate and devastating.
It occurred to me this morning that no matter why I sign onto this site, if there's a Lawrence Beck post, I'm there. I have yet to be disappointed by anything you've written, Monsieur Beck, and that says a lot. Your poems are tight, real, and manage to balance between pure artistry and readability. It is a pleasure to read you here!
Cheers, Lori
