minor details

I can’t explain you.
& if asked to recap your details
You might find my description lacking
key elements of your make up.
But my heart, would know clearly
What I mean.
& though I fidget when you sit down
Next to me, I could just as easily
Loosen your fly
With my teeth
So you might feel the way a man should
When in the presence of unyielding
Devotion- selfless care,
Like parent to child;
Seeking no gain other than your
Well being
&maybe you have noticed
Some of these
POEMS
Must be about
YOU
&yeah I would confess
If you ever asked what it is
That gets my pen moving…
& you said next time
You will try falling in love
With a friend
First.
&being who I am
I couldn’t just sit there,
Next to you &nod my head
&I couldn’t leave
because we were at my place
So I picked up around the house
To break the tension of a moment
Only I could feel.
& I couldn’t tell you about your effect
On poets like me just using subtext
Since I see you as an embodiment
Of beauty in motion…
Wait- this sounds contrived
I should let it flow; don’t try so hard
Don’t try:
To love,
To be happy
Just be
here, next to you .
&I can dig it, that you can’t
Love me the way my
father loves my
mother but I must admit
I understand my
Father’s motivations
Better now, since I met you.
