PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In a world like this

it’s a feat to say

things that haven’t been said.

So instead we’ll try to say

things that have been said

in different, prettier ways.

We build apologies

like marble staircases,

weave love

like fishing nets,

I’ll give you more

as long as you don’t mind

In a world like this

it’s a feat to climb

mountains that haven’t been touched.

So instead we’ll try to

climb the old mountains

and plant roses at the peaks

so we fall in love whenever we can.

We glint our heartbeats

off rocking chairs

and dusty old hardwood floors

so we can mix antique with

the love that’s too new to fix

In a world like this

it’s a feat to create

colors that haven’t been seen

So instead we’ll try to

combine everything we know

and make a new kaleidoscope

so we don’t have to call this love

something that already exists.
