Love Poem: Why You

Why You

Why you? 
Why particularly you? 
From all women
You changed my days’ rhythm 
My life engineering, 
My physics, 
And my chemistry
And I did not oppose.
Why I love you particularly
And desire you particularly
And let you 
Slid between the blue papers
Of my journal
To sleep with my poems.

Why you particularly
I let you sing on my cheeks
And dance on my eyebrow
And I did not oppose

Why you particularly
I let you
Kill all the beautiful women
Inside me
And I did not oppose
Why I favored you 
From all women
And I gave you
My town, 
My closet
My secret box
And the keys to my secret gardens
Secret gods
And to my secret water falls
No woman got
This high rank before.
