five seven five

is it possible
to fall in love with someone
from their poetry

to peer inside them
their words carved onto your soul
pulsing through your heart

infatuation
from cleverly worded prose
it seems so crazy

but could it happen
this meeting of mind and heart
i wonder at times

when the words pierce deep awaken something primal resonate with truth

it drives me insane
this yearning to dive deeper
and swallow you whole

fucking haikus man
really burrow under skin
with five seven five

trapping the rhythm
forcing the beat to follow
needing to know more

wanting the answer
the inescapable need
for more of your words

  1. Poetry is honesty. Honesty can be heroin to some. I believe it’s totally possible. And it means you love someone for their mind and heart, the important things, not the trivial, fading ones.
