a poem of fire

All words are here 
Lying invisible in a blank page 
And yet 
I struggle to find them 

I would like to make you 
An irresistible offer 
But it is not 

I would like to promise you 
That you would be safe 
But I can not 

I would like to say that 
That would be the best time in your life 
But I'm not so proud 

I would like to say 
That we would last forever 
But I know no one can say that 

What it is then 
What I ask and offer? 
To be completely honest 
I am not sure

I just wish the blank space 
To turn in wonderful words 
That bring you closer to me 
That make you take a deep breath when thinking of me 
As I do when I think of you 
A poem to make you close your eyes 
And kiss me with the same emotion 
Of two kids in their first kiss 
All over again 
And for us to like each other 
With the very same devotion 

That's it 
That's the formula
I want to write you 
A poem to bring back 
That early feeling 
To reaweke the hope in human kind 
To revive hope 
To stop believing that love is lost
To make the flowers bloom 
The sun shine brighter 
To make you explode on a laugh look at me and kiss taking a deep breath and saying: 
I love you

But I can't 

I lack the talent 
To express how beautiful my feelings for you are 
How sweet and tender you look through my eyes 
I can't say it in a fancy manner 
That every move you make catches my eyes 
And that sometimes is hard to talk and even to breathe when you are around 
Because I am not a poet 
And that would be hard to believe 
Since I am not a kid 

Oh how I wish 
I could put all the light and fire in my heart
in a poem 
And give it to you
