Poetry - "One Day You'll Understand"


I hope it gives you a buzz
making me as nervous as you do...
When we're on the phone,
every time we're alone
my heart acts like
there's little time left;
gets in as many beats as it can
in the shortest time span,
making me feel quite exhausted
after a lifetime's worth of heartbeats
were crammed into one minute.

That's how you make me feel.
Do you even know it?

Surely you must, and yet
this nervousness I feel
compels me to say none of the things
I have in mind, and
even those things I do espouse
come out completely wrong, as if
my larynx is involved
in some great conspiracy
to keep you from being able to read
the writing lining the walls of my heart.

Oh that I could give you
a Rosetta stone to my
insane ramblings,
that you could see and hear
the pure and eloquent words of love
which formulate in my heart and mind,
only to be denied access
to the outside world!

To let you into my world
is what I desire,
to let you see the fire
that drives me,
the incessant burning
that evaporates life's oceans
of problems, leaving in its wake
a sea-bed full of rare and precious
pearls, beautiful shells
and things no living being
has beheld before.

My heart contains more than you can know,
but one day it will find the courage
to come out
when I want it to most,
when I'm with you.
