For S., With Love Poem by Gainor Ventresco

I wanted to write for you
about you
A poem to show my love
as conventional ways have become obselete now
and songs die on the muted tongue
I wanted to move your heart
to change something
Not you, perfect in your imperfection
I wanted to plant myself inside you
so you could feel my need and echo it
through the sunrise
to want me as your own
to bind me here with silken dreams
that only we could share
I wanted to write for you
a poem to show my love
