The One True Poem

for Beth

Love was not meaningless ...
nor your embrace, nor your kiss.

And though every god proved a phantom,
still you were divine to your last dying atom ...

So that when you are gone
and, yea, not a word remains of this poem,

even so,
We were One.

The Poem of Poems

for Beth

This is my Poem of Poems, for you.
Every word ineluctably true:
I love you.
