To A Love Poem You Twitch Your Face Poem by RIC BASTASA

This time,
As a critique of a love poem you
Read my lines and twitch your face
You cannot believe
What I write
that I for once was true
That I can now be true to you

For once I make this plea
Dust off the fleas
Of sin and prejudice

It is me, I once loved you,
And you knew
It was true but you never believed it,
it is me now, ready to love you again

My love,
Love changes everything
And that does not exclude me,
Do stamp your feet now
Crush all those fleas
And do not twitch your face,
hear me, strike me, i deserve
the punishment
having left you
long time ago

This is me
Ready to love you again, this is my plea.

please listen, spare, speak to me
