Your Picture Poem by Harry Bryant

Your Picture



I want a picture of your pretty self,
I want your picture to put on my shelf,
so I can see you daily, even though we're apart,
just looking at your picture will do things to my heart,
like make it start beating out love songs for you,
the kind that lets you know that I love you too,
take it to the mail box, send it first class,
then when it arrives, I'll put it under glass,
I'll go buy a frame just to put you in,
I'll buy you the finest frame, there ever has been,
so hurry, won't you hurry and send your picture to me,
so I can feast on your lovely face, I'm as hungry for you, as I can be,
won't you feed the hunger that I have for you,
nothing can put asunder, the love I have is true,
one day I won't need a picture, to gaze on your face,
you'll be standing right beside me, in your usual place,
when the world is calm again, and tyranny is gone,
when kids can sleep at night, then I will come home,
never more to leave you, with an empty heart,
I know it isn't easy when we are apart.
