you speak to me and i am all ears,
but your words are meaningless
you move
poetry in motion
the way i can only speak
to your deafness.
stand-
stand me up
in your stance of
confusion.
i am all ears.
move to me the way you love me
and i'll recite for you my feelings.
do you savor my words,
so sweet and poetic
the way i savor your touch
these words
in your skin
poetry in motion
and i am left still
only these words
too poetic
i hear your movements
with all my ears.
what do you say
how do you move
when my ears are not upon you?
do you dance to the beat of a different drum
and
shall i give you an ear to keep?
walk me a paragraphic essay
on the way you feel for me
for her
stand me up
stand your stance
and i will watch with
all my ears
poetry in motion
and i am almost
speechless.
