An Unfinished Poem

I am an unfinished poem A Shakespearen sonnet without a couplet A six-word haiku A narrative sans resolution I am the disconnect between the thoughts you want to convey and vessel that transports them The vessel that transports them and the mind that receives them The difference between intent and understanding I’m an ellipsis living within the space between your most profound thought And the blank page Waking in the union between your happiest illusion and harshest reality Breathing in the pause between I love And you I am the unfinished poem And yet I am so much more
