Poetry / Honest

I do not love you like the wind loves the trees.

Or the way the moon loves the sky.

I love you like a person can only love.

With gestures and words.

Silence and tears.

Anger and gratitude.

I do not love you with my heart,

but with my soul.

Letting you touch the one thing

that only belong to me.

I do not love your tangible body.

Or the nights we spend entangled in pulses.

I find myself loving the space we give each other,

Far enough to separate our dreaming,

close enough to coalesce our breathing.

I do not love you because you love me.

Your emotions do not justify mine.

Your actions do not create

walls or bridges that connect us.

I love you as if you were a speck in the distance

with the chance that you might not be real.

The only grammar issue i found was this, “that only belong to me” perhaps should be “that only belongs to me.”

Other than that i loved the way the poem sort of stapled my mind. It sort of pierced my own ideals of the love fantastic.  When you are young you tend to see love so differently, its uncomplicated. When you get older you begin to see your definitions of love shift a bit. And no matter how much you have been hurt, or trampled on, no matter how much of you wants to “love in a distance” i say jump.  Because i have found that loving at a distance can hender a relationship more so than it can help it.  All in all i loved your words, and i loved your visualization. I think this was a great piece. Keep up the good work.

Nice, but more like a song. I think you should have used more subtle stuff, like where you say “walls or bridges that connect us,” but c’m on, this isn’t even nice enough. Well, this is very subjective you know; your poem touched me though.

This is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Truly heartfelt. Just one thing:

“but with my soul.” I feel this is very important, but also common. Is there another way to phrase this so that you don’t use the idea of loving a soul? It reminds me slightly of that boys song, “Beautiful Soul”. I think you could do better.

Other than that, just beautiful. Your words are a lovely read.
