I have such
Hopes for you
Not for me
But for another
You will fall
In love surely
With him but
For me I’m
Simply the one
That fanned the
Fire you are
Igniting an ember
Causing a flame
So that he
Might find you
I have such
Hopes for you
Not for me
But for another
You will fall
In love surely
With him but
For me I’m
Simply the one
That fanned the
Fire you are
Igniting an ember
Causing a flame
So that he
Might find you
There are some
Things that can’t
Be kept apart
Summer and fall
Storms and rain
Lattes and foamy
Mustaches and you
And I there
Are some things
That fight to
Stay apart oil
And vinegar gas
And oil fire
And water but
When mixed create
Something completely different
We’re like that
We’re like both
Of those things
I never knew
Just how far
Away two hundred
Eighty miles was
I’ll tell you
It’s the same
Exact distance as
The moon far
For me to
Get to you
I might as
Well be going
To the moon
That’s how far
Far away now
Is to me
He told me
To write a
Poem so here
Goes
I’m like a
Pasture that’s been
Scarred by the
Heavy wheeled machinery
Meant to plant
Grow and harvest
But that have
Additionally turned me
From pristinely pastoral
Into just another
Few acres of
Raped pillaged profit
A long time
Ago in a
Faraway land called
Romance you showed
Your interest in
Another with conversation
An evening walk
Or sometimes even
Flowers and candy
But today in
The land called
Apps it’s performed
By a tap
Or a wink
Or a woof
Or a smile
Or even I
