I came looking for a place to write upon your skin,
But it was far too gentle.
To hold the weight of my words.
I bought a sheet instead.
I went hunting for words in your precious smile,
But it hid pain far too vicious.
For me to even tame.
I bought a dictionary instead.
When I finally came looking for poetry in those lucid eyes,
Even the calm of your hazel dreams.
Jolted wide awake.
I could not buy a poem,
So I became one instead…
Sui Generis 
Beautiful

Ohhhhh…. this is really lovely. We idolize a poem or a person and then become what we idolize, in a poetic sense. That’s how I read it anyway. Very cleverly done 💖🙌🙏

You don’t need a dictionary I am pretty sure all the words are out/up there. 🙂 Pain is healable, and tameable. Methinks. 🙂 Poem for poem, smile for smile, truthful words for truthful words, insightful thoughts for insightful thoughts. Mirrored growth. Just my caffeine two cents this morning.
…and beautifully written, as usual!
