POET

She said

you sound like a poet

and I said

for you, I always do.

You make my soul sing

my heart fly

my lips utter the most beautiful sounds they can.

The simple vision of you

multiplies my capabilities

making me much more of the man I wish to be

and less of the loser I am.

If this makes me a poet in yours

so be it.

She said

I just meant you rhymed a lot

and I said

oh.
