Love Poem #1
The sunshine was as
thick as fog
and all I could see
was your face
with your lips
Lips that gave kisses
that melted the ice
that covered my body.
Kisses that
were sweeter than strawberries in June
Kisses that sent sparks
from my lips to
my fingertips.
This isn’t the kind of love
that I can depend
on the petals of a flower
to give me the truth
I can only
believe you when
words more precious than
gold or silver or rubies or pearls
spill out of your mouth
and into my endless ear
your words turn to actions
to my reactions and my words.
Your arms protect me better
than any blanket
or nightlight
or dream catcher
or innocence.
In your arms
the rest of the world can wait
because right now
my favorite song is your heartbeat
and my favorite smell is your t-shirt
and my favorite feeling is this love
