What Kind of Words Should I Write to Get Through To Your Heart?

What kind of words should I write

To get through to your heart?

Should I make some honey words

And throw them like a dart?

That wouldn’t do, I think, you see

Such words they have no weight.

But other words though lightly spoke

Cause worlds to gravitate.

When my world spins around your world

A constellation we become

Spinning around each other

From setting moon to rising sun.

The other stars give us applause

Though we think somewhat jealously

But they can go to hell because

This poem is only you and me.

No, that’s not the way it goes

That other ending was too silly.

I want to write a poem somehow

That really tells you how I’m feeling.

It needs to speak to you of me

And how my heart It thunders so

About vast and grassy plains

And smelly herds of buffalo.

That’s not what I had in mind

I didn’t think I put it there

I want to say the sun don’t rise

Just tags behind you everywhere.

I want to say the stars will fade

Before my gaze will leave your face.

I want to hold you by the hand

And start another human race.

No, that’s not what I, yes it is

I can’t explain, it goes like this:

What kind of words could I write

To get through to your heart tonight?
