Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
I've been wanting to do this for a while, I love discovering new poems and thought we could post our favorite ones here.
Comfort
By Rod McKuen
If we could do it all again
motor bike though roman cities
in the rain
watch the cats chase lizards in the forum
and drink bad wine from mouth to mouth
I probably would try
to love you harder than I did
I probably would smile a smile
much better than the ones you knew
for I was just rehearsing then
imagining what easily might happen
in years to come.
It is not just you I love
(or even Roman rain)
or all the times you rattled on my window
after twelve o'clock.
I love the smell of rooms -
where you have been
the foreign touch of things I never knew
until you came along.
I even love your enemies
because they drive you to my arms
for comfort.
