You with your secrets locked up inside
Miniscule forests carved out of throbbing pines
Page by page, word by word, answers by answers
Intelligence is your menu, your digestion
I move toward you with salivating lips
My worldly hunger, my escalating dreams
Our intimate times, my endearing moments
Not enough days to know all about you
Yet you sit on my shelf and play with me
My tears, my mumblings, my futilities
Your sovereignty, so overbearing, so intimidating
For I, the forsaken, in search of some of you
Your words upon each other, one vast ocean
And I, an enchanted sailor, ask of your mercy
Lead me to your shores, hidden by the mist
All I need of you is one love poem
Please, please, please

over 4 yearsReading the dictionary is perhaps one of the most illuminating reads I can recommend. I would consider it a sacrosanct intention of the true poet to understand his or her language with the utmost dedication, to understand its ironies and weaknesses as well as its strengths and beauty. The dictionary is a very helpful tool in this pursuit

over 4 yearsMy English, my second language, needs all the words stacked between your covers - mortar to the brick and block of my thoughts - indeed you are a cherished friend Mr. Merriam-Webster (and company).
Loved this one Robert. That love poem? I just read it!
