I Never Knew I Was a Love Poem
I never knew I was a love poem
until he read between my lines
Intertwined he defined
my meaning by reading
the inner mystery inside
His penmanship casted spells
as he scribed strawberry letters
across my quintessence
his language was dipped in elegance
as his pen
gave life to my eloquence
To me he be relevant
and poetic as Langston Hughes
I was his Dark Girl Magic
and he made me a verse
inside his Dark Man Blues
We were colorful hues
of love songs and symphonies
and once I became his epiphany
he was able to baptize
my wrongs in every vow
that he would write about me
Provocative he found me
and named me insatiable
pulled out my chair
sitting me down to feast
from the contents
of his poetic table
As we sampled
the love he made
with the main ingredient being me
he opened up the pages
of his composition book
and laid me down between those sheets
He wrote me down
and it was then that I found
I was a love poem
but I never knew
until he read between my lines
telling me LaLa the words
I transgress and confess
are all about you
