Let Us Be One (a love poem)

By: Richard Lynch

o o o o o

Let’s be together now, dear
For the night has just begun
I am quite hungry for you
So why not let us be one?

Your taste would be complete, love
But I’ve cooked you far too long
You loved the wine I’m drinking
So why don’t you go along?

I can’t handle all your love
And swallow it while it’s whole
Instead I shall substitute
All your entrails in a bowl

You have never seemed your best
You’ve never looked so great
I’ll read The Joy of Cooking
While your head is on my plate

I’m sorry now you’re gone, dear
I would think we are quite through
Something I’ll never make, though
Are reservations… for two
