Love Poem: Bricks With No Straw

Bricks With No Straw

Does love need an
audience
Or are such things
rehearses 
for future
 engagements
One would mention
a fear of abandment
so latching on to another
ensures at least marginal
assurance
which God do you
worship
The one who makes
betterminds smarter
or weaker minds more
tolerant
Which tomorrow's
comforts the lonely
that the nights before
If love is clever
are lovers unloved
that such endearment
might mean allowing
Oneself to be fooled
deceived or even
undermined
are lonely too
