I know you seek for who
To love you like a brother
Protect you like a father
Treat you like no other
And never dare give his heart to another.
My love poems are a fairytale in stanzas
Kisses that light up hearts
And feelings twinkling like stars.
Smiles, laughter, wine
I wish reality was no different
From the imaginations on those pages.
Castles, kings, queens, kingdoms
There's more to royalty than the crown on heads
Dates, kisses, gifts, cuddles
There's more to a love story than the words on my diary
Hold my hand and say prayer
Kiss me after and hope the answers come.
Save a date and don't worry about the wine
You're always elegant enough to make everything fine.
Say what you feel and listen too
We should be sure we're on the same page too
For it takes two to do whatever that cliche says.
I sent myself to you in a poem
I asked you to return the Favour, lover.
Seal a letter and send a mail.
In it, a piece of your heart
Flesh of your flesh made into scribbles and sent to a distant land
At the coast of my mailbox, I waited.
It never came.
