phone calls

if I could come off better -
  with words who's sound
    would explain the peace
  with rhymes who's unity
    would convey the joy
  with similies who's images
    would paint my happiness
I would.

instead my heart is dull
  and my words plain.
and I'm forced to say it
  rather than explain it
    and convey it....

you give me joy.
  your phone calls encourage me
    and fill my heart with happiness.
I wish I could spend
  all of my day with you.
