As the pencil is being sharpened
And the ink is being refilled
The pieces are coming together
As the memories are being emphasized
And the truth is being revisited
The picture is showing itself
What a poem?,
It is man
Who had capabilities
A life full of possibilities
It is a father
Who had dreams
A life full of accomplishments
The seed,
As the writing becomes writable
And the writer acknowledges her writings
The pieces are showing an individual
As the recollection of events are coming under the surface
And the thoughts are being revisited
The picture is showing the owner
What a poem?
Your heart and mine totally ensnared
As if by design they were perfectly paired
You are my paper that perfect writable blend
I am your words always lovingly penned
Our eyes always locked in an unbreakable stair
Like a perfect invisible bridge that's intuitively there
Our souls locked together like DNA
A perfect double helix in every way
Our fingers interlocked like bricks in a wall
Perfect from the ground up and infinitely tall
Our happiness like a chain built of perfect link
A ship of perfect design that life's weapons could never sink
Our love is like a perfect line with no beginning and no end
Which my each and every cell has come to commend
MY WORDS TO YOU
Tend the farm for the adaptable
Of the smiling priceless Vegetable
Teeth your heart in understandable
For my emotional feeling is uncountable
Here in my dying heart would I table
The price which is not affordable
My spirit man's work is unimaginable
But I loose to make it available
Move it to the spirit and be lightable
Body which is not Re-writable.
The gift can not be awardable
Yet, it could be seen in a movable
Road where the gospel is not preachable.
I will make thee Queen-able
Whom mote will be unable
To be heavenly dictable.
Make it an honest unquestionable
Act which is eviable not eatable
For my words to you are hear- able
