I waited awhile for your smile,
perhaps too long.
It never came until too late.
I shall never know
why you made me wait
until I said, “I’ll
be going now.”
Your face lit up in joyful prose
and told me all I needed to know.

I WOULD LOVE YOU
I would love you if I could
not with tender looks,
nor delicate feelings
encased in soft touches.
I would love you with harsh words,
and bold shoves
until you fell before your foolish pride
and caught my heart in your hard fist.
I would hold that fist closed about my heart,
feel it pulled from my tight chest
in heavy pants of longing,
making it difficult to breathe.
I would love you.I would love you.
I would If I could.
I would if you allowed.
