Verse On Love

Love is like poetry,
It’s mysterious and beautiful 
And you never know 
Whats going on in the 
Piece unless you are 
The author. 
Unless you’re the one 
In love 
Crystal-eyed and young
Unless you’re the one
That hears trumpets 
And symphonies every time 
She walks through the
 Front door 
And whenever she talks about 
Her day, you’re more 
Interested then she is
And before you go to bed 
After you’ve written her 
A soppy long-handed love letter 
About how you couldn’t
Fathom imagining a world 
Without her, you ask to hear 
About her day one more time. 
Then you fall asleep to the 
Sound of her breath. 
Love is poetry. It’s full of 
Metaphors and misunderstandings 
And long-handed love letters
But you listen to it anyway 
Because it sounds nice.
