Poem for Whoever
A love letter to every Muse
I love you from the depths of my laptop case
I love you in the poems I write and dream
I love that you fill me with poetic grace
though you still bring me no revenue stream
Dream, oh you can never dream
of what I write when you’re in bed
when you’re asleep around I sneak
write all the poems dancing in my head
Oh Anna, oh Vicky, oh Angela, oh Debby
I wrote so many poems about you
I forget your names
I forget your names…
Barbara, Martha, Alice, Yuki and Susan too
are these really your names?
I love you from the depths of my laptop case
I love your faces, hair and scents
Which, alas, I’ve also started to forget
I love to write about your strengths and flaws
I’ll love you till my laptop has no keys
Deep, so deep; the No1 poem I hope this will be
that depends on how much you weep,
so cry my love cry, cry some more still
