PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I fell in love with couplets and started to wonder when

My blood is sweating sonnets- can I ever sleep again

Love in rhymes is seasick, I can’t tell up from down

I can’t find any of my pens and toss this heart around

Love in rhymes is chaos, I can’t tell down from up

I crumple an empty notebook and hope it is enough

I hate my fingertips they keep writing you down all wrong

I hate my tears my sweat and I can’t find you in a song

Love in rhymes is tired, I can’t tell you what I feel

I can speak in sunshine droplets but it’s not a way to heal

So I fell in love with learning, I keep learning you new

Write down my happy ending and hope it fits with you

The years run past me smiling I don’t say the right words

How you came and how you kept me close and loved me first

I fell in love with you and my heart knew it was the end

I memorize your patterns, we fall together again

If you wonder why this ending is the same thing as our start

I want the symmetry to find us when we’re far apart

I fell in love with couplets and started to wonder when

My blood is sweating sonnets- can I ever sleep again
