Verbose I Suppose

A verbose set of words

thoughtful for sure,

but in other words

who needs all this?

My book of poems

lying open 

on the floor. 

I never claimed

I was above it all,

after all 

you’re the one

that wanted to become

My forever girl. 

Maybe I want you

to write something 

that makes me feel beautiful. 

Tonight,

when I pick you up

walk up to me

in one of your outfits

whisper the forbidden words. 

Maybe then

my verbose mood

won’t be too much

I guess I’m stuck here

under this winter sun

I’m begging you

for an hour more

just eyes

up into eyes

this time

I swear. 

I’m bursting now

because 

I really want to know

just how far 

your love 

would go?

Come,

say you love me 

because 

only then

 will you ever see

 my true reaction. 

I understand and know

you’d never think

my language here

is obscure

or verbose

would you?
