uncertain

love:
the uncertain word
to which you have no say
your heart beating for one
but bleeding for another

confusion:
quite certain
of nothing at all
a train seaming towards you
no movement becomes you

fear:
certain
ly unkind
pouring tears from your kettle
to careful for preservation alone
and movement could cause a quake beneath my feet
you scram

hate:
certain
of this
fire burning inside
no passion left in those brown eyes
broken pieces of glass spew from you tongue
cutting my face
bleeding

from which word am i referring?
a question uncertain.

Hey someone once told me this is what love is and it helpped a lot. love is that which assists, acts, builds,bestows, cares, calms, donates, expresses, feeds, fulfills, grows, gives, heals, honors, instills, illuminates, justifies, knows, kneels, lives, lends, mends, makes, notes, nurtures, offers, organizes, protects, prepares, quotes, questions, recognizes, remembers, seeks, saves, teaches, travels, urges, utilizes, volunteers, vouches, washes, waits, yields. Love is patient, kind, gentle, generous, forgiving. Love endures forever.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
