This poem is the first poem that I ever wrote about 11 or 12 years ago when I was 14 or 15. I dated a girl for 2 years. Almost every day I would call and talk to her, and when ready to get off the phone she wanted me to reciet this poem to her.


I will start at the top of the highest mountain
And begin to write my way down
I will blanket that mountain with words of about you until I cover the entire ground

I will take a pieace of notebook paper and extend it across the ocean
I will write and write for days and nights just expressing my emotions.

I will steal a plane that writes with smoke and pretend I know how to fly
I will write I love you a million times in every corner of the sky

I will reasure You this is only a fraction of thing I will truly do because as in many ways as in many days to show it's all for you.

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~
