Love Songs

I want to buy a
guitar and manipulate
the strings so as to
create beautiful songs
of how it feels to lie
on my side with
you behind
and feel your
hands on my heart.
I want to make you
songs of how you
look in the mornings -my favorite-
with green green green eyes,
crushed-up lips red and nimble.
I'd sing out at bars
or on the suburban sidewalk,
tell the tree how every time we kiss,
I feel the elation of
every moment we've spent together.
I want to strum along
humming your laugh
into the night.
I'd write lonesome songs:
"You're so far away
across roads without end.
The hours seem long away
until I see you,
but I will kiss you then,
make happy my heart.
make copletely glad my
whole self to see you."
If I could buy a guitar...
