I’m Not a Love Poet

 

I want you to bite my lip until I can no longer speak

And then suck my ex-girlfriend’s name out of my mouth

Just to make sure that she never comes up in our conversations.

I’m gonna be honest, I am not really a love poet.

 

In fact everytime I try to write about love, my hands cramp

Just to show me how painful love can be.

And sometimes my pencils break

Just to prove to me that every now and then love,

Takes  a little more work than you planned.

See, I heard that love is blind

So I write all my poems in brail.

And my poems never actually finish because true love is endless.

I’ve always believed that real love is kinda like a supermodel

Before she is airbrushed.

It’s pure and imperfect. Just the way that God intended.

I’m gonna be honest though, I’m not a love poet.

 

But if I was to wake up tomorrow morning,

And decide that I really want to write about love

I swear that my first poem would be about you.

About how I love you the same way that I learned how to ride a bike.

Scared. But reckless.

With no training wheels or elbow pads

So my scars can tell the story of how I fell for you.

You see, I’m not really a love poet.

 

But if I was, I’d write about how I see your face

In every cloud, in your reflection, in every window you see

I’ve written like a million poems

Hoping that somehow maybe someway you’ll jump out of the page

And be closer to me.

Because if you were here, right now

I would massage your back until your skin sing songs

That your lips don’t even know the words too.

Until your heartbeat sounds like my last name

And you smile like the pacific ocean.

I want to drink the sunlight in your skin.

 

If I was a love poet, I’d write about how you have the odacity to be beautiful.

Even though in days when everything around you is ugly

You see, I’d write about your eyelashes

And how they’re like violin strings that play symphonies everytime you blink.

If I was a love poet, I’d write about how I’d melt in front of you

Like an ice sculpture

Everytime I hear the vibration in your voice

And whenever I see your name on the caller ID

My heart, it plays hopscotch inside of my chest.

It climbs onto my ribs like monkey bars

And I feel like a child all over again.

I know this sounds strange but every now and then

I pray that God somehow turns you back into one of my ribs

Just so I would never have to spend an entire day without you.

And I swear, I’m not a love poet.

 

But if I was to wake up tomorrow morning,

And decide that I really want to write about love,

My first poem would be about you.

Now after all of that she was like “so how do you feel about me?”

And I said put it like this, I want to be your ex-boyfriend’s stuntman

I want to do everything that he never had the courage to do like –trust you.

I swear that when our lips touch, I can taste the next 60 years of my life.

And some days I want to swallow stacks of your pictures,

Just so you could be apart of me for a little bit longer.

If I could, I would sample your smile.

And then I would let my heartbeat do the bass line.

We would create the greatest love song of all-time

Whenever we stand next to each other.

Love, I was the only one made for you.

And you can be at last by Etta James

I’ll be ooh child when you were in pain

Or you could be candy coated drops of rain

Even though it never rains in Southern California.

And together, we could be music.

 

And when my friends ask if you are my girlfriend

I’ll say no.

She is my musician.

And me, I’m her favorite song.

Seoul Tower- Locks of love.

You write your name and the name of the one you love, put it on the fence and throw away the key.
