I kissed your lips and felt a bird
Soaring through my chest, not my mind
The sunlight on the dampened stone:
That is my hope and faith in you
I walk a block to the music
Store but I’m always so landlocked
It doesn’t work; it rarely does
I’m trying out this meter to
Find the harmony I had with
You, but it won’t work now, either
I bought a cheap guitar to write
And learn; and sing to keep the hope
I ran five miles today and
It’s not enough; I’ll run some more
Take my poem and know I’m here
Waiting like a lost bloomed rose in
A desert of the deepest sand
Hold me sweet beauty forever
