You Know Why?
The
roses were angry,
Other
flowers were angry too.
The
garden was fuming—
You
know why:
The
beauty took the garden by storm.
That
beauty is mine,
The
one for whom my eyes stay wide open.
The
curved, large statues were angry,
Other
statues were angry too.
The
museum was firing—
You
know why:
The
beauty burned the museum with her hips.
That
curvy beauty is mine,
The
one for whom my hands wait.
The
ace poets were angry,
And so
were the newbies.
The
hall was filled with silence—
You
know why:
The
beauty blew through the hall with a smile,
More
than a poem,
She
was a poem for me,
The
one for whom my ears are waiting.
The
beauty pageants stopped walking the ramp,
So did
the first-time ramp walkers.
The
judges were confused—
You
know why:
The
beauty just walked a few steps,
She is
the role model for models.
That
walk was a dance for me,
The
one for whom my legs wait to dance.
The
celestial bodies disappeared from the sky,
Including
the stars.
The
moon and stars called an emergency meeting—
You
know why:
The
beauty just showed up on Earth.
That
was a sign of good times for me,
The
one for whom I don’t mind waiting a long time.
The
gardens,
The
museums,
The
poets,
The
beauty pageants,
The
sky—
They
all worry when we show up, move, smile, walk,
And
come around the Earth.
She is
the woman I admire, love, and will live to die for.
She is
my beauty; in her absence, the beast appears in me.
