new poem

Confusion grows like the grass in spring whenever
You ask me what I feel about our relationship
And what I mean is that the swaying weeds in the river
Entangle the propellers of our vessel and grip
Us to the shore but your intentions are quite other:
You want me to confess my wish to slip away
Unperceived, out of the night—don’t ask me why.
It’s like a piece of poetry that tries to smother
All its ideas under the weight of rhyme,
And its metre procrastinates, skips a beat,
And all the while, I hope my best endeavour
Will please you at least, darling, this one last time,
Since all the passions in my heart are incomplete
And yet are all I have to offer in this debate

Is something all too prosaic, with leaden feet.
