To Make a Poem

patiently browse a dictionary

so you could whisper it to your lover’s ear forever.

To make a poem you should
learn to observe your surroundings keenly
hear, see, touch and smell like you’ve never had before
so if you find the love you’re searching for patiently
you will appreciate the littlest things more.

To make a poem you should
have feelings you hold so dear
let them out in words, voice it out if you could,
because everything disappears when hidden in fear
just as anything would.

To make a poem you should
just let it all flow
the words, the phrases and silly punctuation
because you’ll honestly never know
when life will give you ultimate exaltation.
