Light Is More Important Than The Lantern

Light is more important than the lantern,
The poem more important than the notebook,
And the kiss more important than the lips.

My letters to you
Are greater and more important than both of us.
They are the only documents
Where people will discover
Your beauty
And my madness.

    7/10

    I believe there is an error in this line 'The are the only documents' the first 'The' I believe should be 'They'

    Another philosophical piece. To me at least. A good one here.
