Another...love poem

I write 
a lot of love poems

sometimes I think 
all of them are 

Just love letters
love letters to each other 

I'm going to 
keep writing them 

I'm going to 
serenade the air with them

I'm going to 
fill my life with them

We get to 
love a few other souls

In this time that we are here

Before we 
move on to the unknown

We get to 
learn how to love each other
through learning how to love ourselves

We get to 
learn how to love ourselves
through learning how to love each other

Love lifts us
even if just for a moment
so we 
stand up straight and tall 

and see
what 

magnificently 

beautiful 

creatures

that we 
truly are

And that is something 

that should not be left 

to sit in silence

All we 
really want to do is talk to each other

listen to each other

in as many different languages 

as we 
can learn
and my goal is to be 
multilingual
a shameless polyglot

So I will not be 
sheepish

about how many napkin verses I jot

about the singsong flowers I brought
about the jade polishing 
forked tongued stitching
velvet forging 
verbal battles I have fought

I will 
write them everyday 

Different ones

The same ones
rearranged ones
unchained and untamed ones
out-loud and with-out 
even one ounce of shame ones
secret and only floating on the wind ones
unhinged, 
uncensored,
blushing and shaking
Anais Nin
insanely inflamed ones

Again and again

I will 
not end 
my time here

without making sure

that those whom I love

can be 
sure to 
hear me

I will 
repeat myself
abundantly
redundantly

Without tire 

Without regret

Lest they forget

I will 
endure the eye rolling 
the sarcastic smiles

the self conscious discomfort 

I will 
always remind them

by writing poems

Love poems

Love letters to each other

That will 
eventually  

without doubt

effortlessly

pass through my lips

and my eyes

and my fingertips

All we 
have to do 

to love each other

is talk to each other

Completely

No detail spared

Thoroughly 

As long as it takes

As gently 
as you can imagine

For we 
are only here for a little while

We get to 
love a few other souls

In this time that we are here

For just a little while

So here is 
another poem

Another love poem 

Just another love letter

That I 
wrote for you
