San Francisco by anelephantcant
Click here to hear the poet read his words:
San Francisco
I met her
once upon a time
in San Francisco
the city
of love and peace
and for the time
that we spent
together
my heart
to my surprise
filled
with love
and my soul
at long last
was at ease
I felt
that I’d known her
forever
since dinosaurs
wandered the earth
her eyes
held the mysteries
of all time
I believed
she was there
at the birth
she was
a flower
that blossomed
in sunshine
while I’m
a creature
of winter
and rain
so
I wept
when
she told me
I must go
but
I promised
I’d come back
again
I wept
when
she told me
I must go
and
I never
went back there
again
