I Want To Write You, A Poem.✍️

I want to write you, a poem.
A poem that hold the essence of life.
Watching you fade out of the dim light.
That glows of sun-bright
There, it's a transparent ocean inside your eyes.

I want to write you, a poem.
Like songs on tongue in candle nectar.
Sending colours to your eyes like sweet flower petal.
Staining the kiss of hue on your lips.
Going in tune with lines and weaves.

I want to write a poem.
That makes sense to you.
Giving me the privileges that nobody had.
Even though it's senseless, I know it's my bad.
I write it down, understandable or not,
My writing pad in my hand.

I want to write you, a poem,
The fountain to my memory.
The Genesis of every story.
That flickers light in the thickness of the night.
A poem that you can hum to in the brightness of sight.

I want to write you, a poem.
That sends you lyrics of smile.
That leaves you in thoughts for a while.
Sparks like burning dry wood with match sticks.
Breaking down in chemical ashes.

I want to write you a poem as my anxiety sits in a corner.
Leaving me in endless wonders.
In between my hunting fears and joys.
Today, I still want you to somehow, sing, dance and rejoice.
