Poetry

_______________

You are my poetry

and every word I know.

I can write sonnets

about how your lips

speak to my soul,

and I always seem to

carry you inside me

wherever I go.

--

You are my poetry

lyrical caresses

in my mind.

word spoken

and unspoken,

both horrible

and kind.

--

You are my poetry

hearts and stars

behind my eyes.

loving you so deeply

took me by surprise.

--

You are my poetry

silent though you be,

sometimes saying nothing

speaks volume

to me.

--

You are my poetry

because words mean

everything.

you warm me

in the summer,

and renew me

in the spring.

--

You are my poetry.

loose leaf pages

in the wind.

our beginning,

and alas,

until our bitter end.
