Yours, Truly.

Howdy howdy. Back again with another poem. Everything I write means quite a bit to me and it means even more that you would read my words and enjoy them. I sincerely hope you enjoy this one. Tell me what you’d write if you had the words in the comments! Without further ado…

---

Yours, Truly.

Would it be that I could write something so beautiful,

I think it ought to shine,

to light like a thousand stars in a dark night sky,

to burn like a lamp so flush with oil

that you fear for the cedar posts 

that stand so tall at your sides.

I think it ought to be a thing.

Something you can touch and feel,

something real.

I think it ought to be yours,

and mine,

and everyone’s. 

Something special,

and unique,

yet ubiquitous and clean.

Would it be that I could write something so beautiful

as to set that vile loneliness ablaze

and make love in your heart

that I could sign with a pen.
