From The Bottom Of My Heart Poem by Lorenzo Costigliolo

From The Bottom Of My Heart

Rating: 5.0


... or thereabouts,
somewhere above the diaphragm

I ask, “Why do I write? ”

A word leaks from the cerebellum
NW of the medulla oblongata,

“Hope! ” It whispered almost inaudibly -

“Hope you find what yer lookin’ fer...”
(sound drifts off into oblivion)

jumbled letters
hhjkljh
trying to spell ujpnire
find some anagramous meaning

existence

in metaphysical universe
of complications

trophy as reward?

her heart my trophy?
my words her reward?

Let one syllable
reach her soul...
I shall be silent
say no more to anyone
if her smile
can be etched
on the stone
of my existence.

You should only ever write love poems as this otherwise you are wasting great talent, lol.
