Literature Text

To make a mark of my emotions
Throw them down upon a page for
Reading, hoping that somebody else can
Make more sense of them than I.
It sounds easy, just to erupt
Into a tirade of expression
Yet it isn’t, is it?

My pen kisses paper and their romance
Seems all of a sudden us unlikely as mine.
No matter how hard the puppet master
Pulls their strings, they will not dance.
If I could, I would try to
Adequately describe the maze, whirlpool,
Swirling tundra in my head when we speak.
The way her hair cascades like a blood-gold fountain
Or how her eyes sparkle with the moon
The way that she smiles, a perfect gift
Of happiness, made just for those who receive.

Perhaps I could write of the fear she creates
What if I speak out of place, out of line?
Too much, too little, I dare not ask.
She terrifies me as at any point
I could lose her and know it was all my fault.
God’s cruel, bittersweet joke
That I may lose what I don’t even have
Yet still lake the courage to try and take it.

Break me from this purgatory, let it be her
That says with her dancing lips
The word that heals all, saves all souls.
A more beautiful and dreadful word than any.

I could write all this, relieve myself
Of its incredible burden, ease my mind.
I may be so selfish, but then I would miss
Some of the purity of though, of love
For this girl. This angel? She could be both.

She is pure, that is certain, more so
Than any girl has the right of being.
As close to perfection as there can be
Why should I sully her by exploring
Her image in ink, and tarnishing it?

I could write a poem, and hope she reads.
Or hope that she doesn’t.
Or else I could write the words that ink has
Failed to spoil over a human history of trying.

I love you.

I hope that is enough.
Finally some more poetry! My word it feels good.
Do you feel good? You do? Smashing!
Have a nice day :)

Usually, I don't like when poetry has an obvious voice of the author, but in this it really adds to the smitten tone. Well done, this poem is very charming.
