People say that the best poems don't need to rhyme
And every time I write about you I lose track of time
Staring at an empty page, wondering how I could possibly do your beauty justice in words
People say that the best poems sound like music, words flowing through one another
Like your smile, your laugh is the music in my ears
I wish I could play it on repeat, circling through my head like the static of a broken record player
So my thoughts are drowned out by the sound of your joyous, musical laughter
People say the best poems are simple, short and sweet
Like your eyes and your voice
Sweet like cinnamon and bright like the sun
Infecting everyone with a warm feeling of comfort
The feeling of a forever home
People say the best poems are made of stars
Small words lighting up everyone's thoughts like a bright nebula in a dark night sky
Because no matter how dark the night is you can always see the stars
Just like no matter how bad my day is you can always make me laugh
Effortlessly, infinitely, I always smile when I'm around you
People say the best poems don't need to rhyme
Maybe because the right people are like poems
When I'm with you the words seem to slip effortlessly into place, the syllables finding perfect spots in a beautiful mix of words
People say the best poems sound like music
Your laughter is my music
The sound of ineffable joy
Ineffable, the way I describe the comfort I feel when I'm with you
People say the best poems are short, simple and sweet
But I wish every time I am with you that the moments don't end
Freezing the moment and framing it in a wooden picture frame
Keeping that feeling of joy bottled up forever in little capsules that I can take when I need a reason to smile, the best kind of reason to keep breathing
People say the best poems are made of stars
The stars that write your name in the darkness
The light I will forever keep if I'm ever lost in the darkness, too lost to find a smile
People say the best poems don't need rhyme
The soul of the poet will make it sound right
smooth like silk and warm like a campfire
The smoothness of your voice and the warmth of your eyes
The depth of an ocean somehow captured into your irises
Your beauty in beyond compare
it's infinite, like my feeling of love for you
Ineffable love, such that can't be described in words nor justified by actions, not even felt in one lifetime
Each night when I see the first star in the infinitely stretching sky I always make my final wish for the wishing star asking after my deepest desires
I always wish to find you in another life, an alternate universe
Where I can love you more, to show my ineffable feeling of love for you
