Love in Paragraphs

In the distance I stand, in your peripheral vision

With my paper in hand, I recite this emission

Of words that describe the way you move me

The way you soothe me

The way no one else sees you, and I,

I will love you in paragraphs

From the corner of my eye, I see you watch me

I could probably try to look smooth, but you see

I’m not, I’m just a mumbling fool

Who can’t get words out

Unless they’re written down

I’ve loved you in outlines and drafts

Each story that I tell, each poem that completes itself

Is a rendition of how I almost said ā€˜I love you’

The other day

My heart gets worse for the spoken word, but I

Will still be inspired, my pen in hand

I'll be loving you with words I cannot say!

You are welcomed, an accidental meeting thatĀ never fulfilled the dreams of the dreamer, unspoken words heard only throughĀ the vision of the wantress maiden, yet felt deep within the heart of the cinderallicĀ dreams of her desires to be noticed, yet best left in the secrecy of herĀ heart.......Ā Words softly spokenĀ but never to be heard beyond her laden ears and heart……. The dwelling place of all of her wants and desires, held and monitored until the right moments in time...Again very pretty poem...A promise kept by she, yet never heard by her other.......

This was written to a woman, actually. Growing up, I've always seen girl and boys professing their love to each other. I understood that equation. But when I started realizing my attraction toward women, I didn't see any same sex coupling around me, so it was completely new. I wrote love poems instead of telling her how I loved her. :)Ā
