This was my longest poem EVER. I didn't mean for it to be almost epic.
I have written you countless poems all on EMBROIDERED napkins, by cascading
Moonlight at this lonely hour (unmailed).I have sifted through an assortment of mail
Hungrily tearing at envelope after envelope wanting your distant reply.
This is the ninety-ninth LETTER I've written you to be exact. Why haven't you
Written me back. Don't give me EXCUSES, only facts. This obsession has become
A question with no actual answers.
Tell me, why this festers in me GROWING as a cancer. I see you
Maybe you think this is intriguing, cool or are YOU being PLAYFUL and ALL THE WHILE
Leaving you still so HANDSOME. Please tell me you're holding your self on
Some EXOTIC island for RANSOM.
YOU must KNOW by now I AM frantically frustrated. You're able to read it in my face
In that photograph I sent along with that last LETTER of factual dismay. I hung
Your coat up YESTERDAY enveloping MYSELF inside.
Haven't seen you in 3 YEARS and 5 months now. It gets lonelier every moment
I think I pass you along the crowded BOULEVARD. I turn and see a stranger...
The MOMENT fades just as silent whispers on SUMMER OCEAN waves.
Tell me where to search. How many tears SHOULD I shed. How loud should I
Scream. How low must I hang my HEAD. Mournfully I calculate the minutes that
Have passed since the last time I tasted your tender RASPBERRY kisses. How
Many more days must I continue COUNTING imaginary BLISSES. I WONDER
What tales will you unravel once you return home. This will be my last LETTER for
Fear of the same reprehensible shame. I have been overexposed to missing you
I should say good bye then. I have exhausted all of my memories. now my obsessed HEART has become my enemy. This lonely party has dragged on much to long
Somber song, somber song, somber song.
FOREVER two hearts
Always two LOVERS entwined
