I would write you a PoemI would write you a poemBut the words wriggle around in my mindMaking my eyes acheSquirming from my grasp, and on this damn pageBecoming ugly in my frustrationWhen I want to make something beautiful Pulling faces at my many failingsI would write you a poemBut I can't force your beauty into ink And onto paperI can't express your smile into Sapphic Your generosity into GhazalYour eyes' gleam into EncomiasticYour faces poetry in... PoetryI would write you a poemBut saying I love you in iambic Just doesn't compareDoesn't burn with the passion I intendDoesn't touch how I shiver from your touch Doesn't describe
