A Poem Without P

There is a beautiful poem
I hid it in the best place 
I could find
Above the sea
Below the sky
Above your nose 
Embedded within your eyes
 
I look to you
Looking at me
I hid it hoping 
Someday you'd see
There is a poem
A poem of mine
Hidden in the last place
You'd think to find
 
Between the kisses
Behind the guilt
Within the tears 
Right before they leap
Within the blessings 
That we have miscounted
Under these miracles 
That we have missed
 
Its in the way I stare, 
When I stare at you
Its in your confusion
As you stare too
I know it
My heart is in it
I know it
I know your heartache
 
I look to you, looking at me
Hoping someday you'd see
There is a poem
A poem of mine
Hidden in the last place
You'd think to find
 
Above your stomach
Below your neck
Within your chest
And between your breasts
Within your insecurities
Right behind your strength
Within those tears
That you almost wept
 
So I look to you, looking at me
Knowing that someday
You'd see

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
