CALAMUS SCRIBAE VELOCITER SCRIBENTIS (ode of Forgotten Tears)

This is poetry.

Asking what love is, wait a beat

How it feels, in this moment sweet

I love you, and then...

The truth of breath and body, the rush and the wait

A face-tilt to feel the softest embrace, like ocean life on my lungs I ache

Stay here, let your heart hum, over and over

A dream of sun-filled blooms, never fully uncovered

But come each day, to touch my eyes

Each time they close, to wishful sleep they rise

What sweet life, my soul can dream

Earth's soil so wet, like dew it seems

Tears and feelings, my mind does doubt

But release the budding light, let love sprout

Skip the treacle, the grail, let passion fuel your vessel

A tickle within, let truth in heart bleed red, this moment is special

Now, breathe and push, you rhythmic lover

You gave me the reason, this moment, in Spring's cover

Lips ask what's love, wait a beat

Love is here, now and complete

I love you.
