My lady writes her lover love poetry,

in between two slices of plain white bread,

and carves out every word with a silver knife,

then longingly outlines them in peanut butter.

Love, a question, she wonders.

I ponder at the flavor,

so salty.

Salty peanut butter,

salty tears.

She’s missing something sweet.

My lady is incomplete.

Love, a question,

I write it in between two slices of plain white bread.

Carving out every word with my sliver knife,

I outline,

my love longingly with something sweet.

With no idea my poetry is incomplete.
