Love Like This

I have so much love for  
this pen and paper.

My love grew from a tadpole 
and went through a huge metamorphosis

Now I can't dream of anything else.
I Scheme to get my poetry felt 
I must have swallowed these instruments 
whole because inside I feel swollen
I can't even close my belt. 

I've never known a love like this. 
I'd buy my pen and paper dinner 
and some roses if I could.
I'll bow down and give respect 
just like I should.  

with my pen and paper I will 
decipher the code to get me 
out of the hood. 

My pen and paper will help me
make the transition from unknown
to globally known. 

There is no limits I set 
once my pen and paper take control.

In my imagination my pen and paper
are my magic carpet and saber. 
My pen and paper helps me better
understand thy neighbor.   
 
This love I've learned to savor 
because I am eternally grateful
for the favor and with 
each word I write
I will always owe my life
to a love like this
