Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse

My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray

The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can

The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose

How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong

I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes

You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top

Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up

Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly

I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones

When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery

Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple

A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
