if you want to be a poet, love a woman

if you want to be a poet, then love,

love a women,

like nothing else,

dive into her,

from her eyes to her soul,

touch her like your touching yourself, in a different form,

kiss her like you’re kissing god,

fear with love,

if you want to be a poet,

kill yourself while loving

and live in a details of life,

small parts,

be aware of her,

everything she says and does,

put her actions in your brain,

observe her while sleeping,

cook for her, and watch her eating,

cry with her while watching a movie,

jump in a shower with her,

and kiss her body,

wake up before her, just to watch her sleeping,

then fall back to sleep,

try opening your eyes at the same time with her,

just for that moment,

for that second,

then close again at the same time with her,

cuddle her,

when you argue,

go to her house, and wait in front of her door,

or go to her work place and wait for her,

at least 2 hours,

let her see you, and be shocked,

let her friends see you,

waiting outside,

be an idiot,

why are you scared ?

if you want to be a poet,

create experiences,

and write about them at nights,

alone

while drinking

and smoking,

while she sleeps in your heart,

be a poet.
