Love Poem: I Can Speak

I Can Speak

And now I can speak
With words unwritten
Because you listened
Word by word

Yesterday I spoke
With written words
Because you watched 
Me Step by step

And I mimed to me
If I should or not
Swear my spirit 
But how by now 

Tomorrow when I storm
My love from the struts 
Let loose your words
Spoken or written

Mingle our breaths
And single our tongues
Come to me and rest
Side by side
