The Prophet Addresses Bagoas
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
Your heart will be volcano-like with force
And lava. You will be the lightning bolt
That he has always wanted, you the horse
And he your Alexander. You will jolt
Him forward, you with him in conquest of
The magisterial horizons you
Would surge toward, imperial your love
That you and he will win. Bring on that coup
That he has always wanted. Bring it on
Across the realms that both of you desire.
Charge on across life’s steppes and find wild dawn
Together. Find the morning forged from fire.
..Let quakes, calderas, zigzag lightnings, peals
….Of thunder flash from passion’s phaeton wheels.
