"impetus"

Lost thoughts in mind
Lifeless, until found
Now words on paper
Sparked by the heart 

Love poems are born
Now, my soul is visual
Revealed only to you
Grasp, hold my feelings 

They were the impetus
To write of undying love
Now my heart's secret
Is open for you to read 

Now exposed, vulnerable
I wonder what you feel
Gone is all my hesitance
And my psyche's mystique
