write me a poem
let me read each breath between the lines
your pulse the rhythm followed
as your words twist around my heart
and wow
this is different
poets don’t often get poetry
lovers too intimidated to try sharing in the opening up
the baring of bones too intimate
but you
brave soul
you scribble your soul in permanent ink
and dare me to decipher the marks
to read the fine print
unintelligible I love yous and forget-me-nots
and your heart keeps beating
poetry
