music is poetry with a beat,

a rhythm and instrumental

without these things

lyrics are simply poetry.

poetry to my ears.

your words, miles away

through my phone

are like poetry,

poetry to my ears.

your words, they’re as gorgeous

as your eyes, your face

everything about you is poetry.

poetry to my eyes, my soul

poetry through my pencil onto this paper

in light gray curves.

and when we cook together

well, the food we make

the smells make poetry, poetry in the air

poetry to my nose.

and when you kiss me

your lips and mine

they make poetry

poetry to my mouth, into yours

poetry to my body, a rhythm

like the beat of poetry in music form

playing soft while we lay in each other’s arms.

poetry from my soul to yours

we are poetry, together.

and poetry is music.

babe, we make music together.
