on writing a love letter

Peter Gates

a word picked unused

thrown away

bucket of tears full

words jumbled

choose one then other

shuffle them

mouth caress

spit into

sound no

not that one

pick caress another

spit again

bucket fuller

pick and taste

and spit til

hearing best

flow words

wonderous cacophony

rightness of being

words tasted

taken used

for love

    I tried to read this but words are missing so I gave up.

    When the love is genuine within your heart, the words just come out from your inner muse. 😉
