One Poem

Five days since the last one.

I just want to write a poem about love,

About one soul in awe

“Life” is “busy,”

Keeps getting in the way of living.

When did I see you, yesterday? 

Man, this heart is crazy

Do whatever it takes to wind me up

So I hold my pencil too tight

And give myself too long of a leash.

At least I can wring out a poem about awe,

About one soul in love.

Please make sure it’s not the last time.
