Not a Love Poem
if I wrote love poems
I would write of your eyes
how they spark a warmth
and draw me into your soul
or how they crinkle with kindness
and speak of the wise man within
if I wrote love poems
I would write of your quiet
way of being
how comfortably you fit
or how you move me
to move myself
and rub words together
until they catch
but I don't
(for Alex with love)
