    Untitled Love Poems

    #1


    Your mail last week has not yet arrived,
    But I have already wallowed in the words
    Only my lips, your tongue can enunciate.

    I have heard them from the loud murmurs
    Of the leaves, of the grasses that embrace
    The sweetest doting of the breezy summer.

    I have seen them in the bosoms of red tulips,
    In the excitement of bees and hummingbirds
    That make waiting bearable without despair.

    My hands have not yet graced your last mail,
    But I have already felt the hug of your words
    On my pillow, on the crumples of my blanket.

    I like that. Finding love in the easily ignorable things in life.

    The vanishing stars woke me up
    From a dream of light and crystals
    To paint the melon face of the moon
    With your eyes that saw me first
    When they slowly opened to see
    The birth of colors in the morning,
    With your angled nose that mistook
    My sweat at noon as scent of jasmine
    Or perfume from ripe citrus blossoms,
    With your lips that only murmured
    The same promise only I could hear
    Even when you were so far or away.

    I somewhat preferred #1 but both of these have grace and fluidity.

    Now, we've crossed
    The bluest of the ocean,
    The struggle of the morning,
    The testing waves of the wind,
    Let's share our wild stories-
    What you've touched,
    What I've let you.

    It's neither bloody nor bitter;
    The citrus is orange.
    You take off its peel
    Like you uncover my skin,
    Garters stretched,
    Buttons loosened,
    Layers of silk pulled.
    You divide it into pieces
    Like you separate my legs,
    Willing Arms raised,
    Belly touched,
    Waiting waist gripped.
    You eat the fruit
    Like you feel my lips,
    Hair pushed,
    Shy cheeks held,
    Side of my chin kissed.
    Don't swallow the seeds;
    You'll have more to peel.

    I can't complain
    When my coffee mug
    Has traces of your lips
    And droplets of your saliva.
    I also can't complain
    when the remote control
    Has your thumbprints
    And stains of your sweat.
    I can't complain too
    When my cotton pillows
    Have your blonde hair
    Uncurling to tickle.
    I really can't complain
    When the bathroom sink
    Has your shaved stubble
    Stubbornly clogging it.
    I can't.
    I just can't.
    Why can't I?
    Isn't your body mine?

    I really liked #1 but couldn't quite connect with the others Miyako.
