Never was I called the artistic type;

My talents lay in logical debate;

Creativity served not in my life;

Any expressive works were clearly fake:
________________________________

Then I met you and your many interests;

Poetry, art, the beauty of language,

To master this tongue is now my true wish;

No longer will this side of me languish:
________________________________

Pen to paper, really finger to key,

For the emotions flow onto the screen;

Poems galore, sonnets specifically,

Through these, off your great grace my heart may ween:
________________________________

The cracks in my soul shall last till I'm old,

But through the arts they may be filled with gold.
