Let Me Write You Something.

Let me write you a poem. A poem so great Bukowski would give me a hats off- And hand me a beer. A poem so well-written, John Mayer would play me a Tribute song with his guitar. Let me bring Shakespeare to shame- Let me write you sonnets one and two, Three, Four and maybe Five hundred. Let the only alliteration be that of our laughter, As we exchange puns and stories. Let the words “I love you” be an understatement. Let us be the Paradox – and let the popcorn munching crowd watch us with awe. Let the touching of our lips write Concrete poems. Let your embraces warm me with Haikus. Chase me through Couplets where we are the only couple. Let the only Dramatic Monologue be that within my palpitating heart. Wrap me with imagery- Shower me with smiles and similes. Be the Free Verse, Be the Epic poem, Be the Ghazal poetry drunkards wrote to their loved ones… Be the hero in my Heroic couplets, Be the one. Just let me write you a poem- Where your name is the only repeated term. Where the only irony is the twist of fate that brought us together. Where the only onomatopoeia is the ROAR of your rusty car’s engine. Where we stand like Oxymorons- contradictory but side by side. Just let me write you a poem. Or a novel Or a play Or a song- Let me write you something.

My dear Maya, I also enjoyed this beautiful poem, but the style/form is not Ghazal... Poetrysoup has a good explanation of this form of poetry.
