It has been happening
more often
than the usual
lately,
I’ve been meaning
to write
but erase
and erase
then press backspace,
I twiddle with the words
and the lines
and the sentences
as a nervous juggler -
but find none
adequate enough for my message
so I try and enter your mind
to take out a word or two
and insert them here
in a passage
or a poem
but who am I to fool?
All I know,
all I am certain of,
all I can find myself
able to say
with some eloquence or proper phrasing
is that I love you
and perhaps
it is all I need to know.
