Come For Me

A poem for poets.

Come For Me

Come for me

In darkness

Like all cowards

Come for me 

When I am starved

And deprived of

Comfort

Come for me when

I am crazed

For want

Of a woman's lips

Come for me 

When my days

Have outlasted

The portion in my

Beggar's bowl

Come for me 

When I have 

Watched the mongrel

Suffer in the ditch

Come for me on

Lorcas's birthday

And Akhmatova's 

Wedding night

Or Bastille Day

Come for me

In my darkness

And I will show

You how

I write poetry.

What a great ending! I wasn't expecting it to end that way, but it's creative. :) There's a lot of talent in this piece and I have absolutely nothing to criticize. Excellent work.
