They say actions speak louder than words
but I’ve never been one for shouting
so here’s my quiet confession
only for you; my sole obsession
My mounting
feelings soar
on this paper
My words may not roar
But rest assured
They are true.
I need no hyped up hyperbole
No profound, mind-boggling simile
no hiding
behind complex imagery
all I have are my naked words
bare, exposed emotion
unbuttoned passion
white expression
embrace this page
clinging tight.
Still
nothing I write
can ever capture this feeling
no epic, no odyssey
can chart this journey of
flying
with you
I am not Shakespeare
Dickenson
Frost
I’m just a fool; lost
Without you
I am not trying to compose a classic
not trying to re-write the Romantics
these are my words
from heart to hart
I love you
