Love + War = Patience + Stupidity

Love,

I will wait

be patient 

and watch over

all your stupidity

You've sown on the grounds of my heart

like nature watches over

all human stupidity

spread all over her blue-green earth

with her wise old half-closed eyes

Then, when it starts to hurt your own head

with your own stupidity,

when you finally decide to leave

leaving behind the glorious titanic mansions 

of stupidity, you built,

I will take over

cover every brick of memory

with the mossy messes

and the grasslands

webs of roots 

and vine curtains

I will wash my heart with pouring rains

and secret crystal fountains

ever so slowly,

so the passers-by can witness

your stupidity and my patience

for centuries

and I will move on

as if you never happened.

Until another moron comes along.
