Break Every Rule At Least Once

feed me with your kiss


no such thing as modern romance
It is good to know
that the urges
that are stirred
by our attraction
do not die
for our lack of nearness
but only intensify
when we meet
on such nights.


the only reason to learn any rule is to break it.
should i
hide
beneath
words that serve
to obfuscate
the meaning
and message
of that which i wish
to convey
because
it is artistic?
because
it is more indirect?
because
it builds some mystique?
i say
and
i write
that which is honest
from the wreckage
of my being.
this is not
to satisfy
some hack professor
at some hack university
where learning and
true knowledge
are dropped in favor
of making good
businessmen,
good consumers.
fuck you
and
fuck those
rules they taught you
in those creative writing
workshops.
be the artist
you wish to be
by your own standards
and by your own
expectations.
Emulate your idols,
then strike them from your mind
and then
become
that which you need to be.
