I like words and the challenge of using them to capture ideas in clear sentences and elegant phrases. This poem is about words and love.
Let us talk
Let us talk, then.
Talk of our love
in words clear,
sure, and true.
Let our words
touch our hearts,
pluck our souls,
give wing to our dreams.
Let our words
glow with light
strong and pure
to show us the way.
Let our words
cast out fear and doubt
so that we do not
lose the path.
Let our words
flow from my heart
and from yours
to meet and twine.
Let our words
lace together
in verses of love
metered by our hearts’ pulse.
Here, now, you, me.
Us.
