A Poem.

I wanna hear a poem,
That has words that rhyme so well, you forget they're there.

I wanna hear a poem,
Where the imagery is so simple, you'd wonder if it's even art.

I wanna hear a poem,
With metaphors that dance so playfully in my ear,
it insights flashbacks of a childhood playground.

I wanna hear a poem,
With similes that make my eyes light up with fulfillment, like they were being struck by lightning.

I just wanna hear a poem.

I want to love a poem, about hate.
I want to die a poem, live a poem, breathe a poem,
Write a poem, sing a poem, and share a poem --
that no one has ever heard of.

I just wanna hear a poem.

I wanna read a poem,
Where the white spaces on the page say more than the words ever could.

I wanna read a poem,
With absolutely no rhetoric devices, to show the skeptics it can be done.

I wanna read a poem,
That beckons me to scream it from the mountain tops, and make the stars envious of the ink.

I wanna read a poem,
That has no reason, progression, or purpose, just the author's random thoughts, about subjects that don't even matter.

I just wanna read a poem.

I want to win a poem, about losing.
I want to earn a poem, award a poem, help a poem,
I want to give a poem wings and a mouth --
and let it swore off its own tongue.

I just wanna read a poem.

I wanna feel a poem,
With the ability to make my fingers tingle, as I hold the page.

I wanna feel a poem,
That breaks down the walls of conventions, and is truly unique.

I wanna feel a poem,
That contains so much passion, the words seep down, -- into my ill-at-ease soul.

I wanna feel a poem,
Whose every word kisses my cheek, holds my hand, and walks by my side,
-- as long forgotten friends once did.

I just want to feel a poem.

Give me a poem, wish me a poem, play me a poem, hum me a poem! Taunt me a poem, haunt me a poem, toss me a poem.

Lend me a poem, I promise, you'll get it back better than new.

Hold on to a poem, save me a poem, mail me a poem, any poem.

Just read me a poem.

(Note: I realize that "wanna" is not really a word, and that the poem falls way out of the walls of convention for normal grammar, this is intentional. The format of the poem did get screwed up, and i can not fix it, but the point is still there. This is best read outloud.)
