how I have loved what I have never known
these names that glisten like stars on a blanket of night
it is silly, I know, to swim in such matters
my mind a blizzard of moments splintering
in a million intricate ways impossible to explain
my heart is heavy and my throat clear of all words
and I think of your faces like a blue sky at sunrise
so unblemished so untarnished by my hapless errors
I couldn’t explain with the right expulsion of words
but know I knew how I felt
how right here in a place I am still trying to understand
you were present known and, yes, loved
these names that glisten like stars on a blanket of night
it is silly, I know, to swim in such matters
my mind a blizzard of moments splintering
in a million intricate ways impossible to explain
my heart is heavy and my throat clear of all words
and I think of your faces like a blue sky at sunrise
so unblemished so untarnished by my hapless errors
I couldn’t explain with the right expulsion of words
but know I knew how I felt
how right here in a place I am still trying to understand
you were present known and, yes, loved

Explanation: A simple poem written in my own time, having watched the first few episodes of the mini-series adaptation of John Green's 'Looking for Alaska.' There may be a few poems inspired by the series and book, especially as the latter means a great deal to me. This follows the poem immediately before this.
As I am working ******* my university manuscript, there will be few poems until the start of next year. Nevertheless, feedback is welcome. A link to my Facebook writing page can be found on my HP home page.
