I Never Write Love Poems

I NEVER WRITE LOVE POEMS

You say I never write love poems.
It doesn't mean I don't feel that way.
With all the love you've shown me darlin'. 
You are my reason to live every day. 
When we're lying holdin' each other 
We feel the moment 
We don't need the words.

You say I never write love poems. 
I know you've given me reason to. 
It's not that I'm uninspired 
There's just no poem that comes close to you. 
When you kiss me it's such a feeling, 
Words can't express 
What you do to me.

You say I never write love poems, 
Declaring my desire for you . 
You are my living poem 
A breathing Sonnet
I'm just a sentence lost within a verse. 
My pen is idle while my heart beats in rhythm
To the sound of your voice 
Like the melody of a song

You say I never write love poems 
I plead you forgive my indigent hand 
Empty of words to create a love poem 
Filled with the emotion of a Cupid's scribe. 
After all the love we've shared together 
You can read the story 
Written in my smile.

Some day the words, 
They may come easy. 
In the whisper of a gentle breeze. 
Until then I live with the sin 
Of the love poem my soul has kept hidden 
Your love poem 
The one, 
That was never written.

FJ Thomas February 3, 2018 at 1:56 PM Re: "not prolific" ...well I can't tell. Your poetic expression here is filled with "experience" so to speak. Add to that it's uniqueness and you have a perfectly wrapped gift ;)
