You Are Poetry

It’s always been a dream of mine

to fall in love with someone who loves books and poetry

as much as I do

to meet someone in my favourite section of the library

holding my favourite book

so when I met you

and discovered that you couldn’t even read properly

it’s an understatement to say that I was disappointed

but then I got to know you more

and I learnt that you may not understand words like I do

but you have thousands of them inside of you

just bursting to escape.

You grew to trust me

and you told me some of your stories

all the things you wouldn’t dare say to anybody else

and as I sat there and listened to you

talk about everything you had gone through

you made me realise that you don’t love poetry

because you are poetry

yes, I know that it sounds silly

but your voice captivated me

and your words flew into the air

and found their way into my heart

where I shall treasure them forever

along with my favourite works from my favourite writers

and I think that you just became one of them

so please don’t ever stop telling me stories

don’t keep those words hidden inside your chest

and know, that even though you don’t love books and poetry as much as I do

I still fell in love with you.

With the first 5 lines, I felt like I was falling into a dream. I've honestly had dreams of meeting someone that way, I thought I was crazy. I guess not. But it is a very creative and romantic way to find love, to share your shy parts of yourself. I really love this and it inspired me to rivert back to my dreams :)

Wow fantastic! It's been a while since I've been on here, but you just reminded me why I love your poetry so much! Fantastic job!

A beautiful poem for love. Hard to find people with common goals and need. True love accept us for our good and negative strength. A perfect ending to the excellent poetry.

I've been harping on my appreciation of female loyalty these days, that thing which amplifies a woman's beauty by orders of magnitude; and who could be more loyal than one who says, "You may write on my soul"?

so you need to write those stories down

this is absolutely wonderful and so touching... poetry filled with emotions that light up emotions within a reader... that is what real poetry is
