Not a love poet | Rudy Francisco 

See I’m going to be honest, I’m not a love poet
But if I was to wake up tomorrow morning

and decide that I really wanted to write about love

I swear that my first poem…
It would be about 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 and 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

If I was a love poet
I’d write about how you have the audacity to be beautiful
Even on days when everything around you is ugly

You see I’d write about your eyelashes

and how they are like violin strings

that play symphonies every time you blink

I know this sounds strange

but every now and then

I pray that God somehow turns you back in to one of my ribs...

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