A La Recherche De Paul Verlaine Poem by Anthony Weir

A La Recherche De Paul Verlaine



Miserable wars
if love is not the reason
Miserable wars

Miserable weapons
if they are not kisses
Miserable

Pitiable men
if they don't die of love
Pitiable

Men have killed
more women than men

The most miserable love
is fought for
The most pitiable kisses are weapons
and the most pathetic men
refuse to live for love without motive.

I love the way you reverse the weapon/kiss love/war love/death in the last stanza - this is very fine.indeed.
