Valentine's Day Poem

The Poem Unwritten

I want to write that poem for you,

That poem of such magnificence

It would be called a masterpiece.

 

I want to write that poem that says

What poets have tried to convey

Since the beginning of time

On stone aged walls.

 

I want to write that poem for you

That would turn you inside out

With my perfect scheme

And metaphorical genius.

 

A poem that would bring

Eliot and Frost, Dickinson, Walt,

And even sonneteer Will

Down to their knees.

 

I want to write that poem

That pronounces all my feelings

That are never spoken

When I am with you.

 

But we are that poem

That cannot be written,

Cannot be held

In my fountain of pens.

 

So this is my poem

Of that poem

That cannot be written.
