Description
Of the Nights When I Cannot Write a Love Poem
There are nights when I want to write a love poem,
but I cannot. I am too heavy inside
My tongue becomes leather
unable to bend.
Those feather light kisses
and tickle tender touch
are sensations consumed
by a deep dark hole full of hunger.
Instead I watch a raindrop
falling on an unopened flower,
because she never blossomed.
That is my song of lost dreams.
The tear that falls
from such a lost flower
is never heard.
It plummets into the grass
or is swallowed by the sand.
I know what it is
to chase a mirage
and watch her fade
before the touch.
I know what it is
to be an unsung raindrop
sliding off the petals
of its chosen flower
before the poetry
can be written.
