Now, I don’t write love poems,
Because they’re too easy,
I write about
Emotions that bring
Pain and sadness,
Quick and to the point,
Emotions that have
Instant gratification, and
Love is an emotion
That brews slowly
Under the skin,
Simmering to perfection,
It takes time
To write about love
I have never
Been able to articulate
The findings of love
Into just a few words
On a page,
How loving you makes me feel
How I see it in sunsets
And breakfast for dinner,
But it’s hard to find it
On a page of black ink
But when
I think about you,
Emotion boils over
Pouring love notes
Out of my fingertips,
Your bright smile
And contagious laugh
Turn up the heat
On a burner
I didn’t think
Could get hotter
Loving you
Makes the steam
Press against my chest,
My heart pounding
My thoughts racing,
Loving someone is scary
Letting someone in
Trusting them
It seems
To only lead to my demise
But isnt that
Where the best poetry comes from?
I’m not very good
At keeping secrets,
My lips curl at the edges
And I chuckle like a child
When I tell a lie
So when I look you in the eye
Know that is true
When I say
I’m in love with you
