When Charles Bukowski said "I Love You" ― Confession | HappinessDhaba

I often say that if writing is art then Bukowski is one of the best artists the world has seen.  I say so because I’m yet to find a better craftsman of sentences than Bukowski. The depth he was able to convey in 2 sentences is often far more than what you can get from reading an entire book. 

Here is Bukowski’s poem Confession which is a testimonial to his flawlessness as a writer. 

Confession by Charles Bukowski:―

Waiting for death
like a cat
that will jump on the
bed
I am so very sorry for
my wife
She will see this
stiff
white
body
shake it once, then
maybe
again
“Hank!”
Hank won’t
answer.
It’s not my death that
worries me, it’s my wife
left with this
pile of
nothing.
I want to
let her know
though
that all the nights
sleeping
beside her
Even the useless
arguments
were things
ever splendid
And the hard
words
I ever feared to
say
can now be
said:
I love
you.
“I Love You”
