Never Been In Love



I’ve never been in love before.
I can only imagine.
Heard someone say once it’s synonymous with magic.
Something like static,
But without the noise.
Sneaking in silently with such poise.
Balancing like new salvage.
I watch lovers and think I want it.
To share the unknown.
People appear so close they could be clones.
They touch the same.
They breathe the same.
Hearts melted together.
I assume it feels like the sex in jazz.
Becoming one with the sound.
Feeling it deep.
Lovers make the best music.
A sound that ignites a fire within so wild the earth’s core is envious.
This love is pressed.
Urgent like a mutha fucker
I can relate to Darius...
Cause when that Love Jones comes down you better know how to handle it.
A connection close knit.
My walking CPR kit.
My air is your air.
A love that’s not fair.
Run your fingers through my hair.
Bare it all for this love.
The glove fits still acquits this love.
Free.
To be.
Whoever I want to be this love.
Thanking the most high above.
He knew what I wanted.
Sometimes you gotta stop frontin’.
Accept your blessing.
Cause this love is one of a kind.
A rarity at its finest.
I mean sublime it is.
I’m in awe when in the presence of this love.
It feels like I’m flying.
Good thing I love heights.
Let’s take flights.
Here, there, let’s make love everywhere.
Make love to me anywhere.
I love the places love takes me.
Don’t even know all the places yet but I know it can still take me.
Anyway.
Far away.
Long as my love comes.
And just for riding, I promise to be your Bonnie back.
All facts, no cap.
All gas, no breaks.
Love keeps me safe even when I crash.
I died in love and now I’m alive forever.
Thriving forever.
Light as a feather.
I float.
I can picture our love on a boat,
And we sail,
And get lost at sea.
With God as the lighthouse,
orchestrating the divine.
It’s a special light that shines.
That’s what Common said and we ain’t common.
We’re like a commit.
Did you just see my heart racing through the sky?
This love is up high.
No competition with the birds,
Or the planes,
Or the clouds.
Maybe a little run for its money when it comes to the sun, though.
Yea, I know.
I sound so sure,
But I‘ve never been in love before.
I can only imagine.

About this poem

I wrote this poem over the course of two-three years. I added to it whenever I felt emotional about not sharing real love with a partner. Legend has it that love is still searching for me but self love has been abundant. Please enjoy! Started ~ summer 2020 — finalized 7/27/23

Writing is my love’s language…get it. Lol. ;-) I have been writing since I was 5 years old. I love words and putting them together to create a beauty full story no matter how melancholy that beauty may be. I have won numerous awards and trips for my writing over the years and even best public speaker in high school for original pieces written throughout my time there. Writing makes me happy. It makes me feel free. It’s where I lose myself and then find myself at the end of every period. more…
