Title: poem for my platonic soulmate

Length: 109 words
Genre: Original poetry

Rating: Gen

 

Notes: For a dear friend, who requested simply that I write 'a song or a poem' for her. I am not a poet in any sense of the word and my original music works are travesties - so this is what you're getting. Sorry I can't give you more.

(so)

 

If I were a poem

I suspect I would be

Messy

incomplete

Thoughts trailing off and never reaching their conclus

Fractured

Lines

No internal structure or consistency whatsoever!

incorrect use of; syntax & punctuation & perhaps

words that don't mean what they shouldn't

No real ending

End it before it can get out of hand

please

 

(and)

 

If you were a poem, you'd be perfection,

Every line in perfect point of order,

Questioned phrases end in raised inflection,

Not a hint of malice or disorder.

 

 

(But, um)

 

We fit, you know

Hands that link

Soul to soul

And I think

 

 

I rather like it this way

 

.

 

(stay?)
