Hearts and Paper Aeroplane

Collaboration with Jonathan Swift Pines

No, I’m not claiming that I always write.
When I do, my heart’s like a jar -sealed tight.
And when it pops ajar, you hear it “thump.”

No, I don’t think I always love you right.
When I do, my soul swells like puppy eyes.
When I write, I snort happily for you.

When I’m bad, I’m bad. When I’m good, I’m good.
I’d love to love you right now, if I could.
But if I’m astray, please try tomorrow.

When I’m sad, I write. When I’m loved, I write.
I’d love to store you in my sealed tight jar.
Only let out happiness than sorrow.

Sorry, love, but this is our last “goodnight.”
I’m not always honest in all I write.
So keep your happy times safe and sealed tight.
Don’t let a dreamer like me steal your heart. . .

  2. Do we get to guess who wrote what? I guess the italic words were written by an Italian romantic, and the straight words are from a straight shooter.

      1. I didn’t realize that syllables were important in this poem, but now I see that the lines have 10 syllables each.
