Now why can't i write sweet love poems like this?


Refusal



Beloved,
In what other lives or lands
Have I known your lips
Your Hands
Your Laughter brave
Irreverent.
Those sweet excesses that
I do adore.
What surety is there
That we will meet again,
On other worlds some
Future time undated.
I defy my body's haste.
Without the promise
Of one more sweet encounter
I will not deign to die.

i teared! Its good. You write beautiful love poems, how can you say you dont? Silly man!
I remember and prefer the one you wrote of reincarnation more, however. That one just resonates pure feeling.

Aiyo, u make me jealous. I'm still waiting for the husband to write me a love poem. The man has many strengths but poetry ain't one of them, unfortunately :(
