Notes About The Poem

Language of Love

"We both are fluent in the language of love
And I want to make sweet poetry with you"

I write my words across your chest
My single letters haltingly slow down
Incoherently forming new words
Lining up in sentences withheld
Crying for attention

Your name a foreign sound
A word without meaning
Forming strings of small pearls

And I see a thousand times your name
In a million different colours
Exploding in the air like small poems
Or fireworks
Or stars in the firmament
Of our selves

***
