Haikus About My Favorite Poet: Charles Baudelaire

Some of the stuff is assumed. Some is true. Some is half-true.

Charles was not blessed
He lived his life in great debt
Had mother issues

He wrote of women
And the critics accused him
Of lusting for whores

He was God fearing
They misunderstood and said
He loved the devil

Passionate he was
He loved the being in love
But not the lover

Poe: Another life
Was the obsession of his
New life as Charles

Charles connected
With Poe: Connecting the connect
Itself with itself

Orgasmic Marie
Spurned his pseudo love offers
Suspecting as I

Suspecting as I
Of his love; him and his love
Asexual he was

Asexual he was
Probably not though (whatevs…)…
The sensual virgin!

Being the truly
Modern person he was…
Death by STD!

The poet of Light
Who could only write of the
Heaviness and dark
