Writing a Love Poem

dreams alight on wings of eraser crumbs and dull pencils
as memories appear on wrinkled paper.

hopes fly from my mind 
while my untidy scrawl fills the page

wishes take flight in a airplane of stanzas 
zooming past at the speed of light times two 

secrets brood in the corner
hiding their meaning from nosey parents, with a mask of false smiles and fancy words.

while I sit here, and grin 
thinking of you.
