I’m sure I’m not a singer

I’m sure I’m not a singer

A Poem by Mark Heathcote


 

I’m a carpenter in my mind

I’m a poet and a painter

But I’m sure I’m not a singer

Like you!

I’m sure I’m a builder living in a shoe

And I’m sure I believe

I’m in love with you

We’ll have 2.3 children

Or as many as we can fit in a shoe

Cause I’m carpenter

I can mend and make do

I’m a poet and a painter

So I can paint a happy scene

And romance the heart of a stone

Until it’s plunged into the sea

But I’m sure I’m not a singer

Like you!

I’m sure I’m a force of nature

And you’re a flower

Like a lion at rest

With a roar to open my breast

Oh I’m a carpenter in my mind

And I want to build you a home

We’ll have our penthouse on the moon

When we’re older because I’m dreamer

And I can see in the dark

As long as I hold you close to my heart

But I’m sure I’m not a singer

Like you!

So although I’m a poet I depend

On you:  for my song

Cause I’m carpenter

Ill depend on you to pull my splinters

And heal my redwood heart.

About
I like all kinds of poems but I tend to gravitate toward eastern spiritual poetry. My muse almost demands it of me. So you may find quite a few being poured out from time to time. I all so write man.. more..
