What Good Is a Love Poem

I could draw out and measure my words
Paint them a colorful hue
Capture a couple love birds
Have them whistle a tune

Open and invite into mind
The beautiful essence of spring 
But what good is a love poem
If it does not fill a need
What good is a love poem
If it doesn't come free

I could hold and rhyme with a rose
Remove all the pain of its thorn 
Speak out loud in a crowd of love's hope
In a world that is lost and forlorn

State all of the facts
Of exactly what love can do
But what good is a love poem
If it doesn't ring ture
What good is a love poem
If it's not inspired by you
