The Food of

Love

Poetry exploring and questioning the universe, the self and love

Mihael A. G. de la Montagnes is a lyrical poet from New England who has been writing poetry for over three decades. Subject matter centers mainly on the disposition of love and its effect on the human heart – whether bitter, passionate or somewhere in between. His desire is to breathe new life into the older structured forms of poetry with relevant tellings in a modern voice.

entered the darkness of the night.
No where was there ever to be
so radiant a light as she.
Upon the floor her dress did fall,
her shoulders bare; naked to all.
I lay enchanted by the sight;
finding myself in such delight

at such perfection burning there.
And at that moment in the room,
a breeze blew in uncertain doom.
Her neck and hair did slightly sway.
My hopes and dreams melted away.
Her memory, like wax remains.
