The sooner we have a published SPT poetry collection
Is the sooner I have more faith in this world
It's getting darker and darker
But I will not resort to being reticent
The best people don't hold back
SPT is one of the hardest working poets on this site and I think her work needs more attention. There's never a stale poem written by her. Never.
If the only sound we had to hear at night
Was the sprinklers
Wouldn't things be so easy?
No, we just have to have those pesky kids playing Josie at 3 AM
Her Father will ask you

"What are your intentions with my Daughter?"

Your one and only answer should be:

Marriage.
Most guys gawk over models and ignore their girlfriends by playing video games

I'd gawk over my wife and turn the video games off for her; giving her the attention she needs.
I'd get the rarest rose

If it meant making you happy

That smile is life changing

Please, keep smiling

You're the most beautiful thing here

The rest of the women don't hold a candle.

You can definitely blow out my candles

On my birthday

Because every day I'm with you

Feels like my birthday
I sent in a poem to the Poetry Foundation
And they rejected it
Calling it vague
But little do they know
That I am the Poetry Foundation!
I like to be my own artist.
I don't want many ties that unwind

I don't want to feel the omnivorous shade of blue over and over again

I want to be your Save By The Bell

That doesn't stop after four seasons

Giving you a million reasons

To love life more than before

I found you perched up in my heart

Don't squander the beauty

You have a deep ingenuity

That entices me like the victim I am

So helpless yet so assertive

You're too grand and I'm unsure if I deserve it

I aspire to be one and done

To the honeymoon

To the gravestones

Be the whiteness that's in our transient bones

When the doubt creeps in

Remember I pray to God every day that you'd be mine

And that you're always feeling jolly and fine

It's for real this time

It always has been.
