Read me

read me
the way a poem is written
without hurry
without trying to force beauty
where it already exists

learn the pauses
as carefully as the words
let silence have its own language
and let every touch arrive
like a line that knows
exactly where it belongs
leave pieces of yourself
between the verses
and I’ll leave pieces of myself
between the spaces

and when morning finds us
there will be no final stanza
only two hearts
still reading each other
as though love
was never meant to end
only to be written
again and again

  1. It’s actually what you wrote. In once word Awesome. Every sentence become silent live need to imagination. Although I am not so a good commentary may be I didn’t or haven’t perfect language of description about your writing so asking my apologies if you find me Idiot type.Thanks with best regards.

  2. Wow! What an Awesome Love poem!!!! So Beautifully Penned Jennifer!!!
    After you read this slowly out loud you might want to consider this as a candidate for an Audio recording???? Hmm? Maybe???
