you

who writes such beautiful tales

what do you know

about love?

what do you know

about soft lips

and quiet whispers

and calm nights with them?

how do you tell

such beautiful lies

about things you have not

ever experienced?


you spoke of lying under the peach trees

and you conjured images of quiet happiness

you gave no specifics

yet i understood everything.

you made me want to fly to LA

to live with the stars

to feel the ocean breeze

to travel the world.


you are a wizard

with your words

a poet

with your thoughts.

the world will deal

bad hands to you

and you will take them

like the king you are.


i hope you continue to travel

dole out your tales

leave audiences filled with wonder

dance among the gods.

have the sky paint a picture

describe bird song

give life to dead trees

because you are a poet.
