i can write

lovers and tides by anelephantcant

I can write a poem
to describe the starlit skies
and to tell you how the moon affects
the lovers and the tides

I can write a love song
to describe a summer day
full of bright hued flowers and butterflies
and parks where children play

I can write a story
to describe a sweet romance
how we first kissed beneath a lamppost
and walked on golden sands

I can write a story
to describe how we found love
but comedy turns to tragedy
my words are not enough

I can write a love song
to describe your smiling eyes
how your hair blows wild in western winds
you think my words are lies

I can write a poem
to describe in rhyming verse
how you make me feel when you are near
but you don’t read my words
