i left a poem on your doorstep
wrapped in newspaper and tied with rough string
hoping you would read between the thoughts and see into my soul before throwing it away
or perhaps recycling the thoughts
mixed with compost and old coffee grounds to make the flowers grow.
i left a poem on your doorstep
filled with honesty about the joys of love that could never be
only imaginary fantasies between you and me
from my heart into your hands
created by my ink on colored paper
rainbow wishes floating above the clouds
freely giving and receiving
until forever
i left a poem on your doorstep
and waited
silently wondering what you would do
if you knew it was from me
just for you…
just a poem...
on your doorstep
