Poems Penned Precisely by Me

I am

I am love
But not the side you seem to see
I am the purple bruise on her cheek
I am the reason she shuts her lips so tight
And I am the reason she seems so meek.

I am love
I am the one you always seek
I am... hand holding in the streets
I'm... subtle and I always creep
And I am the reason he's so at peace

I am love
I am the one so popularized
I am the one that seeks passion in your eyes
I am... late night calls and dirty texts
I'm the reason she's so excited for the day that comes next

I am her snide, her pride; the reason she hides
I am his fear, his cheer the reason he appears
To not be sorry for all the fights
When she's not sorry for these lies

But I am LOVE!
I am caring, I am enough!
I am the wind underneath a bird's wings,
I am the sweet melody to which couples sing!
I am beauty, I am hate,
I am family, I am dates
I am what the world destroys but requires
I am what brings together empires
I am the glimmer in her eyes when he gets on one knees and says "I have a surprise"
I am hopeful, I am jealous
I am violence, I am care.

I am planes in the sky
Writing through the clouds: "will you be mine?"

And I am love,
I am what makes life so divine.
