I Want To Be a Poem

I want to be a poem
written on a blank paper
put in with a wine bottle
folded into an aeroplane
to be made a wish upon

I want to be trapped in a glass bottle
traversing thousands of miles of the vast sea 

To be opened up with a prying hand
curious eyes and a wandering mind
To be shook off the sand from
to be blessed in a lover’s embrace

I, want to be a poem

Free, bound, engraved, forgotten
Lost, found, taken and given

I want to be a poem..
