Poem 148- Nights of Poems

Nights of Poems

I have been busy and happy I say.
When school dies down or
You know, we have a fight or something.
Happiness is not the best inspiration for poetry, that
Requires deeper feeling and sentiment that others can
Feel.

When I get a chance I say, when I don’t have
A headache, when the root canal is done,
When my brake pads are fixed, when my heart 
Feels cracked I’ll get a chance to write something down.
Go on a bus like I used to
For an idea at prose, a chance to think quietly in the
Noise of others.

How is it then that with a heart full of love and week of work ahead,
I can be so fixated on the joy we share and the serenity in my soul and
Yet able to articulate my fully formed, healthy heart to say thank you for
Giving me a moment and an invitation to be myself and the nights to write

As you breathe next to me providing the peaceful noise of others I always needed to compose.
