Love We

With one voice
speak we.
One home
seek we.
If it could be
sweetly
love we.

Born down the street
was I.
Under the same
blue sky.
Why can’t you
even try
to love me?

I am the same
as you.
My blood is red
not blue.
All that I ask
of you
try me.

If you could love
like me.
And eye to eye
could see.
We could be
you and me
neatly.

We are the same
within.
Forget the shades
of skin.
Go back and start
again.
Meet me.

And let with one voice
speak we.
Let us one home
seek we.
And live together
sweetly
love we.
