The Elephant in the Room











Love
This is a post about Love
It's how I imagine Love
It's what I remember about Love
Or wondering if I actually know about Love
It's me second guessing 
And me shouting at the world 
Love 


Love
This is a post about Love
It's how you look at me Love
It's what I hear in his voice Love 
Or wondering if anything will ever be as good Love
It's me counting the years 
And me losing too much sleep 
Love 


Love
This is a post about Love 
It's how many times my heart beat too fast Love
It's what I can't forget Love
Or wondering if I read that too many times Love
It's me thinking about you 
And all-consuming 
Love

  1. I really liked this. I liked the format. For some reason, I act like free-verse is the only kind of poetry/blogging/whatever. But sometimes following a format can be liberating, if that makes sense. Good stuff.

    LOVE. All-consuming. Well said.

  3. Same with Nelson. Everything flowed and this would sound so good read out loud.
