ADVICE TO A YOUNG LOVER

Darling, if you love me
Never tell me so
Words of love are tedious
They lost their meaning a while ago
As I woke from my noontime siesta

No better than caterwauls
Or screeching chalks on blackboards,
Declarations of love are annoying

Grapes are not sour;
Post-glut, I am hyperglycaemic

Doesn't naivety deserve an advice? A warning? A sign? This relevation goes hard on us fools... distance begets desire and expression is limited... words.... felled by words... truly in an unsuitable profession... this relevation goes hard... as does this month of june

they are but perhaps they feed on our paranoia of silence? words of love...blend of ironic, comic, tragic or outright absurd?
