The Perfect Poem

If the perfect poem was a perfect song
Then they both would be about the rain
The kind of rain that cleans your soul
And washes away your pain
The kind of rain that soaks your skin
And makes everything brand new
That is the type of song and poem
That I would write for you
Like the fool who waits in the rain for hours
Made famous in a Led Zeppelin song
Or the type of rain New Edition sang about
That makes your love grow strong
Because rain and poems and songs go together
In a way that is tried and true
The perfect poem is the perfect song
Is what I would write for you
