I've spent
the past week
trying to muster up
a piece of writing
that could even
come close
to expressing
my love for
you.
In those seven days,
I took a different approach.
I wrote
2 haikus
with my hands
3 ballads
with my lips
and
4 sonnets
with my heart.
No,
my love may not
be poured into
a poem --
typed up
and posted here --
but
it's there and
it's real and
it breathes.
For R, who's been begging me to write for her...
And hasn't realized that I have been.
