How Do I?




How do I begin this poem?
How do I explain this in words?
How do I describe my love, my darling?
How do I tell the story of bees and birds?

How do express what I feel?
How do I ensure I tell it all?
How do I say your smile is my high?
How do I say your tears are my fall?

How do I promise uninterrupted happiness?
How do I convince you that I share your pain?
How do I manage all, or any of it?
How do I get you back in my arms again?

How do I sleep at night?
How do I wake up every morning next to you?
How do I remove the miles that separate us today?
How do I fly across the seven seas to be with you?

How do I change our situation?
How do I tell you, how I miss your touch?
How do I make things better?
How do I make this poem convey so much?

How do I?
