D1

I found this book
Tattered and torn
Battered and worn
But love
Is in these pages
Love
As my heart wages
Rages
Cages
Anything my heart can do
My brain will get mad about

I need a masterpiece
Magic words
Verses of valor
And great worth
But my mind
Is not birthing
Perfection
This night
Your mom did though
30 some years ago
And here I falter
Again and again
Trying to pull a miracle
From paper and pen

A few good lines
Is all I need
But they elude me
And I must concede
