i want to write joyful words -
a poem full of silver-lined imagery
and tales with happy endings,
sweet inclinations of the mind
and hyperboles of love and lust
all to cover up the thoughts of
you
because beautiful words never did suit us
so if i choice to write them
then you can’t be there, can you?
(you’re always there, but please, let me pretend?)
i’d try to write a story of falling in love,
of classic romeo and juliet
and a nonsensical feeling in ones stomach,
but i promised you i’d never lie
(and i never break my promises)
i’d write of something plain but provocative
like the weather, but i live in England -
i cant write of sweltering warmth or the
memories of snow.
not from an honest perspective
except perhaps
of not knowing it in truth
(just like i knew you, i guess)
i could write of grey grey skies
and wind whispering its wishes
to unsuspecting listeners
but i cant
(because i listen and it’s your voice i hear)
i can’t find the words to hide
the way my heart beats
(morse code songs of what was,
and what was not all at the same time)
and perhaps i shouldn’t even try
because every sentence, every syllable transforms into you
and i’m helpless to stop myself
(shhhhhh.......
you don’t need to know....)
