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
