This one is about

This one is about

No this poem will
Be a vast emptiness
No convolutions,
No iterations,
No slimy words,
Or equations to show
How smart i think i am

No this poem will
Not be an expensive car,
Just a bicycle
Grey and simple,
Not red

No this poem is
Not about formulas or anger,
Not about erotism and darkness
Or politics and death

It is about simple lines
Like, "hmm..I don`t know"…
The meaning of this coming or going..
The va et vient of lives…..I don`t know

This poem is about this lost line
No this poem is not about
Qasidas, ghazals and metered lines,
Confusion, mazes, triangles

This poem is about this very one old line,
That I whisper in your ears:
"I love you".
I love you, here you go
I said it.
Although I know in
The Grand scheme of things
It is not worth very much.

I love you.
