xxv. in poetry /February 27, 2014/

We speak

In poems

If we're angry

It's poetic

If I'm drowning

And gasping for air

I let you know through the beauty

Of poetry

If we don't know how to

Tell each other

What was meant to be said

As tender,

Loving,

And gentle caresses of

Speech,

We write it.

They text,

We poem.

In poetry

Is the way we bless each other

With the truth of our love

In poetry

Is the way we curse each other

With the sting and hurt of our anger

In poetry

Is the way I know

You're standing right next to me

Smiling in that way

That you always do

At me

When I need you most

In poetry

Is who we are

Galaxy

And

Shay

Shay

And

Galaxy

In poetry
