Now let me tell you something 

If you fall in love with a poet,
you're going to go through some things

You are going to be the canvas and the paint with which a poet will provide images of a person to immortalize past space and time
You will be a moment captured to replay and rewind, even after you die you will remain live
Whether it be spoken word or written pages of books describing you, people will know you through the poets eyes
You will be the Pharaoh needed by all man-kind or the dictator, hate mongering,  a beast to despise

And this might be too much for you to handle
You will be both dismantled and held as if fragile
You will find we are the greatest of written down actors
Always reliving our moments with you, enraptured by the mood you've provided, it's true

You may think us to be the most beautiful and eloquent of speakers to grace your ears
But you may also find us to be poetic in our anger and momentary bitterness and feel fear
Because a poets tears staining a page with a pen is where pain can breathe in
And breathe out through word of mouth to clear the soul out

If you fall in love with a poet there are a few things you must know

We are the greatest observers of people or situations or emotions or all the above
We are the Warriors with scars held deep enough to contain a thousand floods
We are the creative and demonstrative Kings and Queens of knowing what's up
We are the undisputed Champs of knowing when to push and how to shove

It's all love

It's just that sometimes thoughts can overflow and spill from the jug hoping to water your gardens or harness the things you hold within and hold back never letting us contact the things so discrete that you never want us to repeat because you're afraid we'll rewrite your story to fill a void but you must realize you are part of our voice and we have no choice but to make right what we write without a disguise we are naked and alone up here in the spotlight be it during the day or the nighttime and I don't know about them but I know about me and I won't change any bodies story I will only explain the parts involving me and our planted seeds but just because I may be venting doesn't mean I don't love you because if you pay close attention you'll see yourself littered in the language I speak

Now let me tell you something

Poets make the best lovers

Why?

Because we've already written a poem about your smile and every corner of your body as we learn about your mind and put the two together to have a good time

We've already built the mountain and erased the ocean and back-flipped into space and unplugged the sun and replaced it with you because you shine

We've already embarked on the quest and saved the princess and digested any illness and are free of ill will and thus embrace you in kind

We won't stop until you feel the imagery coming from the words we speak so that the ****** you reach matches the things we preach as the bed creaks

And this is something I must repeat

If you fall in love with a poet, you're going to go through some things

But let me tell you this

If I write a poem about you

It's going to be you with the title of Pharaoh
And it's going to be you I speak to once I'm finished up here
It's going to be you, my partner on this path so narrow
Girl, it's going to be you that I consider my muse

And I appreciate that so **** much

I just wanted you to know that and hold that thought close

Because I want to fall in love with a poet

A poet like you...

Now wouldn't that be cool?
