Off the Cuff (First Published March 21, 2009)

Off the cuff
I am writing this poem
That I hope will be enough
Enough to say thank you
Enough to say I love you
Enough to say I need you

Off the fly
I am writing this poem
That hopefully will symbolize how I
Can't see my life without you
Can't feel close enough to you
Can't catch my breath at sight of you

Extemporaneously
I am writing this poem
That I hope you will see
As my ode to the love of you
As my tribute to the God in you
As my last hoorah to win the heart of you

Improvising
I am writing this poem
That I know won't be surprising
About all the things I've said to you
About all the things I know of you
About all the things I'd be to you

Unrehearsed
I am writing this poem
That is more than frivolous verse
Saying that life is dull without you
Saying that love means nothing without you
Saying that lost is what I am without you

Ad-libbing
I am writing this poem
That I reckon is conveying that I am digging
Every little thing about you
Every movement made around you
Every thought I ever had about you

Off the cuff
I am writing this poem
That I hope is enough
To show you everything I see
To give you some small key
To the joy in life of loving me
