Stop your stuttering heart
And attempts to explain how this is complicated
Let me lap the language from your mouth
Until the words become sound
There is nothing complicated about a moan
Or trying to catch your breath
Let me love you primal
Let me rewind your dizzy gut
So I can love you backwards
So we can start at the end
And you can see that we both die happy
There are no words to explain your presence
How I know that at least
One of those hits on my poetry page is you
Even then
You’d need a stethoscope to hear the subtle changes in my heartsong
So don’t give me reasons why this won’t work
You should know by now
That I was born to surprise people
I’m an underachiever
You can let slide by this time
We both know how this ends
Let’s get past this and
Go straight to the good part
Where I turn your doubts into sounds
Even a baby can understand
Adults coo sometimes
Let me be a quiet sigh of relief
In order to mask the mumbles
Of your fear
Let me turn you into a sound
A moan
A sigh
A quiet breath
And then
Let me love you
