Between the Lines

Like puzzle pieces that will never fit.
You knew it’s not in charm, or words, or wit.
True poetry won’t dwell in poet's minds.
You find the poet's heart between the lines.

Sometimes I’ve struggled with the written word.
You smile at me and say "that is absurd.
Emotions deep inside is where you start."
Between the lines you find the poet's heart.

You can’t write poetry by being smart.
You use the words that burn within your heart.
You’ve shown me where to look to see the signs.
You find the poet's heart between the lines.

I find my inspiration when I see
the love within your eyes is there for me.
You told me we would never be apart.
Between the lines you find the poet's heart.
