if i was a love poet (rudy francisco)

im gunna be honest,
its not often that i find myself eager, to write about love,
in fact, when i try, my hands cramp, just to show me how painful love can be,
sometimes, my pencils break, jus to prove to me that every now then love, takes a lil more work than u planned,
i heard that love is blind, so, i write all my poems in brail,
and my poems are never actually finished because true love...is endless.
ive always believed...real love... is kind of like a super model,
before shes airbrushed, its pure, and imperfect.
jus the way that god intended.
im gunna be honest, im not much of a love poet,
but if i was to wake up tomorrow morning,and decide that i really wanted to write about love... my first poem...would be about u.
about how i love you the same way that i learned how to ride a bike:
scared, but wreckless.
with no trainin wheels, or elbow pads so my scars can tell the story of how i fell for u...
im not much of a love poet, but if i was...
id write about how i see ur reflection in every cloud,
and and ur face in every window u see,
ive written a million poems hopin that somehow maybe someway ull jump out of the page and be closer to me cuz if u were here, right now,
i would massage ur back until ur skin sing songs that ur lips dont even know the words to...
until ur heart beat... sounds like my last name and u smile like the pacific ocean,
i wanna drink...the sunlight in ur skin...
i swear, if i was a love poet, id write about how u have the audacity to be beautiful,
even on days when everything around u is ugly,
id write about ur eyelashes, and how they are like violin strings that play symphonies everytime u blink, if i was a love poet,
id write about how i melt in front of u like a ice sculpture everytime i hear the vibration in ur voice,
and wenever i see ya name on the caller ID,
my heart plays hop scotch inside of my chest,
it climbs onto my ribs like monkey bars,
and i feel like a child all over again,
and sometimes...sometimes i pray to god, that he turns u bak into one of my ribs jus so i wouldnt have to spend another day without u...
i swear... im not much of a love poet... but if i was to wake up tomorrow mornin...
and decide that i really wanted to write about love...
my first poem...would be about u...
