Words

I pick up this pen
Expecting the words to just flow
Expecting magic just to happen
Like love, this can't be forced
I've gotta let the process take its course
Write and erase
Over and over
Until each word is perfectly placed
Put together in poetry or song
There is no right or wrong
Just what you feel
Music on in the background
Lyrics I wish I could steal
Can't connect to this like that song
All I write seems so wrong yet so right
All these words I link
Leaving out eloquence
Leaving out form
Forgetting the the consequences
Of what I've  written
The messages misconstrued
I sit subdued
Pen in hand
Expecting the words to just flow
Expecting magic to just happen

Can I get just a moment of your time
Can you sit down here just for a bit
I've been around the world
Trying to find the words to say to you
I've left no rock unturned
You made your peace
Now it's my turn
To tell you what is that you do to me
When our eyes meet
To tell you how I've been feeling for so long  
Sit down next to me
Open your mind and
Free your heart
