Poetic Confession

I can not dance
Nor can I sing
I can not paint
Not even by numbers

So here I sit
I write line after line
Of heartache and love
Of loss and pain

I am not an artist
I must be a fool
For all of my writings
Profess my love to you


Notes: Inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper

To paint is a gift, to write poetry also, the ability to give love is more than that ........Seren
