To Be That Poem

A Poem for Keepsake

I loved many before you and I will see many after you and I met many when I was with you but you are outside of the geometry of repetition.

— Nizar Qabbani

To find a poem which speaks to you and helps you write that poem which you have been carrying with you. To find someone who is looking back from the poem. To know someone who can become a poem for me. To write a poem for that person knowing he won’t read that poem. To be that poem.

The many joys of being a poet and the one sadness which can’t be written on the page. To be that poem which can be kept somewhere in the pages. To find that one poem. To be that poem soemwhere..
