The Poet Is Right Poem by Suki Nakamura

the poet who says
that love is better not told
is right. i think i know that
love is only felt

words have nothing to say
letters have nothing to mean
it is just this strong feeling
to be with my beloved

who thinks
that i am beside
a wall to lean on
in the name of
friendship

such a feeling
beyond the grasp of symbols

keeps me
singing throughout the
darkness of my life

in the middle of the ocean of
confusion

such love such faith
though unrequited
has kept me going...
