I Don't Understand

A Love Poem I Can't Make Sense of

By Nessy WriterPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I don't understand

how the strand of your hair

keeps me captivated

as it falls by your nose

push it back past your ear,

disarray is always better

I know that,

but still

I don't understand

how the joy in your eyes

and the white of your smile

keeps me lost for a while

Though your words aren't complex

and your body screams sex

Still your soul is complete

and I'm whole

It's the glint in your eye

the nerves in your love

the overconfidence of your unsure hands

as they track the curve

of my back

hesitating

to take what they want

And that's me?

I don't understand
