I have reluctantly realized
thinking of you
and writing your name
in midnight blue ink
on parchment paper
over and over
and over and over
while I whisper
each syllable
does not count
as poetry
though it feels like it
to me.

Actually typed, but where is the romance in that? Smiles.

Smiling. I hope so. If only for the shape of the words on paper.
