World Poetry Day: For..

Today is World Poetry Day.

I've never paid attention to or observed this Day... not to my memory but it's funny because just last week I promised myself I'd attach to a new poet every week. In fact I just put together a poetry for beginners pack because a friend said she wants to get into poetry.

(comment below or tweet at me @ToniVerseif you're interested in this 'pack')

Anyways... here's a piece that's been in the drafts for a minute...


For…

For now,

I just want to kiss you.

I just want to enjoy the moments we share.

I want to put up your picture and tag you as him

I want to laugh at your jokes and know you even better

I guess this is what it means to like

I guess this is the part we fuck

For a while,

I want to text you all day long.

I want our convos to go on for ages and days.

I want skype dates and real ones

I want to get comfortable too

I want to hug you when things are wrong and right

I want to spend with you the odd couple nights.

I guess this is what it is to be in love

I guess this is the part we have sex.

Forever,

I want you to be mine

I want to daily hear the sound of your voice

I want our families to be one and our own to become

me you and a couple of kids.

I want to accustom to all your imperfections

And reach compromise when we don’t agree

I guess this is what it means to actually love

I guess this is where we make love.

Happy World Poetry Day. x
