beautiful
is not a word I would use to describe
someone like you
glass shards in my mother's house
tender toes
tired eyes
happy eulogies in bitter smiles
you have the heart of a poet
the mind of a poet
the fingers of a poet
but in truth
glass shards reflecting ceiling light
dancing
the strain of the tv
i don't call you beautiful
you might be a poet
i see in you
the poem.
-//a little letter to someone who writes poetry so wonderfully :))//
then
i cannot call this poem beautiful
a poem such as this
breathless and wonderful
must be called instead
by its name
so tell me, Anon,
who writes so well of me
as if you knew me in my mother’s house
you have the soul of a poet,
the tongue of a poet,
the eyes of a poet-
vision kaleidoscopic, and true
i don’t call this poem beautiful
rather this
i see as you
-//a thankful reply to someone who writes poetry wonderfully and thought to write of me, gifting me great joy :’))//
