An Appeal To a Simple Poem

To string three words together
And appeal to simple

Align my self with heavenly points of light
To cleanse my words of wrong intention 
Unscrew meaning, untwist perception
Incite delight

Remove pretentions built upon forms 
Neither desired nor pierced
But set in place pleasing combinations

And float you down a river in rapport

To join you no restrain 
Meeting minds on a word
In secret collaboration

This would be my hope
This seems to be my prayer
To a stack of words
And a piece of parchment

For I work not to make you work
But to give repose
In what you may already know
But did not say
