You make me want to write poetry Not the sappy sentimental type Dripping with cliche metaphors Oozing with prefabricated references of love No, your presence is much more subtle Your influence upon my words is obscure Yet it lingers in the empty spaces Dancing between the lines Which separate my tangled thoughts The poems which you inspire Have no periods For to associate you with an ending point Would be as if telling a circle where to stop For this reason, the poems you inspire Have yet to be transcribed onto paper Endlessly flowing throughout the canals of my mind Yearning to be unleashed to the world I selfishly hold back Unable to attach a significant ending To the overpowering significance of your presence
