Please Steal These Words Poem by Patti Masterman

Please Steal These Words



Please steal these words
Elevate them, with barely disguised coveting
Caress and claim and court them
As if they always were your own.

No maestro created them,
Or orchestrated a symphony of smooth syllables
To petrify the worlds attention with meaning
To stab its globular eye, with unusual beauty.

Take as many words as you wish
From the wishing fountain,
For there will always be more,
And leave instead only a sigh, a smile, or a tear
To tell the world
That you've been here
