I Wish....... Poem by Terry Donovan

I wish that I could whisper in your ear
And you would know exactly what I mean,
My meaning coming over very clear,
No lines for you to look for in between.
My written word I sit and think about,
Erasing words, replacing them with more,
So when you see it there is little doubt
No strings attached, it's you that I adore.
If only I could do that when we speak
And let you know exactly how I feel,
Come out directly with the words I seek
And make my vague endeavours something real.
I write and all the right words just appear -
Why don't they when I whisper in your ear?
