After every time you say to me
It was good to see you
But you know it was more than that.
You’ve also said we have the same eyes
but we don’t see things the same.
If only my hand could craft words to be
the source of us instead of us being the
source for my words.
Using my hands to paint
the reality I want instead
of what I see. Giving life
to us instead of a life being
taken from us.
If you can’t read me
at least you can read
what I create after
you’ve touched me.
This poem was inspired by my British Literature class, after learning about emission theory and reading some of Edmund Spenser's Amoretti sonnet sequence
