I Wish Shakespeare Were Here
I Wish Shakespeare Were Here
Try as I may at writing appropriate and momentous words of love,
I more often dream of enlightenment from true greats of romantic exposition.
The maker of "a summer's day" and "number all your graces",
Used all the perfect words and left me - wee, minor me -- with only my inexpressable feelings.
True sonnets are no more and we poetic mortals flail simple thoughts to page,
Inspired by a genius' words: "Live with me and be my love" and more.
Yet, somehow, someway, in some everyday words and everyday signals,
And mostly, I find and you find, a way to say one cliched expression:
"I love you". And maybe that's enough.
