To Love A Poet

To Love A Poet: Once upon a time I fell in love But it was different because I fell for a poet So, the fall was more of a jump out an airplane Scared for my life putting up all my walls as I fall through the air And she would just spray paint my fears into something beautiful To skin your knee for a poet is to bruise your heart But in a good way Because you see poetry different when you love within the poem still being written You notice things you would never open your eyes for You try things not because you want to, but you want to have that moment with her You want to see her smile that smile that is tattooed to your slumber That smile that blooms because you were there And you begin to love something you wouldn't give a second thought to because of her And then it hurts knowing the possibility of it all leaving Pain bruises when she is upset The eyes of my heart are watery because she is a poet Which means she is not ready to settle down Her butterfly wings still have more adventures to write about I know I'm just a poem in her book But it's a damn good poem So, I don't care that the ending was not how I would leave the period Because to love a poet is to live To love a poet is to be able to defy gravity To love a poet is to have a moment you'll never forget p.s. thank you for helping me write my own poems...
