I Want To Write

These words, they say

Will be the end of me

I want to write and write

And write again and again

Yet every word I write

Takes the very life I owe

Every second does count,

‘Tis the tief man of my hour

So let me write a little more

Till I breathe my very last

These words, I say to you

Have a soul of their own

I breathe my soulful life

Into each and every word

Creating a whole new being

With every new sentence

Like babies, killing mothers

Every word kills me a little

I die that these words may live

Speaking to every one of you

Even long after I am gone

I want to write, I tell you

A poem without any words

You will sense it and feel it

But you’ll not read it out aloud

I want to write a love letter too

To the one woman I really love

It will be engraved in the stars

She wont read it out aloud either,

But she’ll get my message clearly

With every beat of her pulsing heart
