pages

12/8/2010

i sit alone, surrounded my pages
pages of works i have to read
that i'll never read
ideas of book i should read
that i'll never read
desires to know more, be more
desires to speak more, laugh more
desires to dance more, smile more
desires to kiss more, more than kiss more
i sit alone surrounded my pages
a million works about a million things
a million critically acclaimed pages
on everything i should know
everything smart people should know
everything i should want to know
but the desires piled on the pages
yearn for the one subject not listed
you.

i wrote you a page
i wrote me a page
one to stand out among the millions
one to fulfill all the desires
you.
i sit alone, surrounded by pages
with you
and your page.
