I only had to look at you,
I didn’t need to look very long.
There isn’t much love has to do.
The beginning of a poem is a song.
Make a list of things
A song must do before it sings
If you need to be precise,
Or maybe we could kiss;
That, too, would be nice.
I could write some poems
Astute, verbose and dense,
Or maybe write a song
Because emotion is immense.
Because love is always going
And life isn’t very long,
I’m almost afraid to speak.
The beginning of a poem is a song.
