A Poem Love

When my eyes first found an empty space
for me to hear myself think
I thought of poetry and confused it with love.
Not one poet who speaks in love boasts his love
he shares it with his voice.
When poets get a poem published they feel the wings in
their hearts keep their leaden stomachs afloat
because the poem is as official as a ring.
A poet tries on her new published poem
and sees how it looks on her.
It feels gorgeous and new.
A poet must be in love to an extent when he writes a poem.

The creation of a poem is the most exciting part.
Because for a moment no one else in the world knows about it.
And we boil with anticipation.
Like love.
