I write about love and life
so that I may
taste them twice
in the moment and in retrospect.
As poets we live and breathe words
when my love reads my words
she knows I am lonely
I'm dreaming, thinking and feeling with her.
That I dream what she dreamed
wanted what she wanted
finally realizing
I want only her.
I write to give myself strength
to explore the things I'm afraid of
Maybe to be the character I sometimes am not
but with her I write about love.
Sometimes words are like tears
needing to be written down
maybe I write what I cannot say
I write differently than I speak.
Maybe all I wish to say
is that I seek true love
therefore I write
what should not be forgotten..
