the 10 years i have been attracted to you is so small in time

i was just reading a poem of mine about the most wonderful moment



it became the most wonderful moment when i wrote the poem

i wonder how many of those i have left



i float around wondering about the few wonderful moments

i have created for you



and where those moments, we never had together, will go



i'm sorry

i am writing a play this weekend and i don't know where it is going, but i am half done and i think it will be better than it should be



it is not as good as i could be



at first i wrote and thought about finishing or i would die without anyone knowing my grandeur



now i write more and more

i have more plays than fingers, more poems than bones and enough wonderful moments to feel alone



i am confident, if i am not the most talented person to write you a poem...that i am not far behind

maybe i have made 100 people happy, if only for a moment



maybe a tribe of space gypsies will find my poems and they will make me a legend, a million years from now

such a wonderful thought that is balanced with the thought everything will be lost and decomposing

all my struggles at the keyboard



just like this is balanced with the possibility of your kiss and your smile that may walk away

i hope you are one of the 100 and

i hope you live in wonderful moments

A lovely idea that is beautifully expressed and captured within the essence of the words.
However, if i had to pick a favorite part it would be this one: "i'm sorry i am writing a play this weekend and i don't know where it is going, but i am half done and i think it will be better than it should be."
Better than it should be...simply beautiful!
