i wish i could
write you poetry
not the meandering desire
that filters through
weather and flowers
but the words that
change thoughts
to roll you into my arms
like the stuff that cabbage
is made of
in lieu of poetry
here is a poem
a simple string
of words
that might not lasso
your thoughts
or twist your tongue into
balloon shaped kiss
but it is a poem
that lets you know how
i think of you
