No one reads the long poems..but I think this is worth it...then again I'm the (biased) poet


I've never been in love
uhh so what?

A Poet
whose never actually said
"I love you"

Ok..No..
I've done that
but its closely chased by
"But I'm not IN love with you"

Fear

With rejection likely imminent  
I shy away from such overt acts

I'd rather have you
and pretend not to love you
then lose you in honesty

So...yea
I'm a poet that's never
been *"IN" love

We're always
"not there yet"
or..
"just friends"
who do all the things that lovers do

No...not just "benefits"
That...
I don't allow
you gutter minds

Gray area *******
where we

Care deeply?
deeper than most

Support?
anything the other needs

commitment?
check
never wavering

and trust?
uh huh
a given

my being..yours
you being...yours

re-read that if you missed it

I'd rather have you
in my presence and pretend
then lose you in honesty
b/c without you it feels like..
my being is gone

To you..
I've NEVER considered
such ridiculous ideas of
Love

But to my pages..
you're My Mornings

I've always loved me
But funny thing...
I began to value  me

I realized
maybe I didn't love me?
And then I started
you know...
really loving myself

honesty took you
and our love was like mourning

I'm just a Poet that's never been in love
but a believer in it
and my love poems have not a bit of reality
Untarnished by experience
I imagine it
beautiful
like Morning
