I'm writing you back

 
To say I don't
love you as if
hands glide
smooth over
crushed velvet

or something
perfectly tidied
into little boxes
with neat labels,

I love you like
all creatures
deserve to
be loved

be it working
or going against
a humble grain

I love you in light
and darkness, be
it standing or sitting
without agenda
or trivial issues.


I love you this way
because this is
the only way I
wish to know

because your smile
and laughter is rain
my blue raincoat  
always desires to
be soaked in

I love you;

knowing when
I close my eyes

my dreams
turn into your
dreams in the
early hours,

long after
every ache
echoes out
from every
window.
