How do people fall in love?
Do they tremble like a leaf
In the breeze… like I do? (#182)
*
When you pass by,
I quiver like a simple flower
In a gentle rain. (#183)
*
When you are coming,
I dust, and rearrange,
The coffee table twice. (#184)
*
The hour before your visit —
I turn my house upside down
Trying to make it pretty. (#185)
*
Love’s possibilities —
I see you, and I see what we
May become. (#186)
*
Romance on film —
I see you, and I have visions
Like a movie. (#187)
*
Pizza delivery —
If I were sure you’d come,
I certainly would’ve cooked. (#188)
*
Love notes —
Do lovers still write them,
Or is this all new to you? (#189)
*
Text poems —
Why not? Sometimes, love can be
Couched in twelve words. (#190)
*
Tonight, I just want
To be drunk, and kiss you; and
Maybe blame the alcohol. (#191)
*
Tonight, I just want to be drunk
And kiss you, and smother you
With passionate kisses. (#192)
*
Do you also tremble inside
Like a flower in the breeze
When I whisper in your ear? (#193)
*
Looking so perfect —
How much time did it take
For you to perfect that look? (#194)
*
Running late —
Are you building excitement, or
Do you just want me to wait? (#195)
*
Disheveled hairdo —
How much time was spent
Styling that hair? (#196)
*
Love songs —
Do people in love really think
In terms of song lyrics? (#197)
*
When people think of you,
What tunes do they hum
To themselves? (#198)
*
Restless fingers —
Do I panic more before,
Or after, you’ve arrived? (#199)
*
Ding! Dong!
And I forgot to breathe
Before getting the door. (#200)
*
Your visit —
Always the best reason
To tidy up the house. (#201)
*
Your visit —
Reason enough to marry
Spaghetti and red wine. (#202)
*
Dining in —
We light the candles,
We uncork the wine. (#203)
*
You are here —
And still, I am anxious;
And hopelessly in love. (#204)
*
Believe it or not,
I hear you; I’m just
Too in love to understand. (#205)
