A classic love poem 

A classic love poem
I think I might have written one
But it's not Shakespeare one...
Might not be a sonnet...

It's old, and ancient
Way before cell phones
And tablets
You know...

You carve your soul on a rock...
You ink your heartbeat on a piece of paper....
And somehow you send it off...

Such a classic love poem
Slaves write poetics to each other secretly
Behind a white man's back
Cos by law at the time
We weren't allowed to write....
So we don't...
