Love Language
By: Abiona and Cry






Her eyes
yes, I said her eyes!
another cliche' forget-me-not
to add on stacks of others
written long ago,
but...
never forgotten by lovers.

Anyways, back to love.
where was I?
oh yes -
Her eyes,
they're as popular to me
as that ritual piece of candy
a child gets leaving a check-up.
the day I need a doctor -
is also the day
they are gone when I get up.
I would die to miss a morning
not looking at them.
so lush, elegant,
full of life and sass,
beauty and wrath,
a pulling force I'll never get -
a steady forward motion
assuring I'll never go back,
still, I grab her eyes with mine
placing gentle palm to her cheek,
and in that moment of chi,
of peace and we...
I hold love in my hand.


his hands
yes, i said his hands
form pillows for my face
i place my
smile within his fingers
stretching wide
in his embrace
allow me to explain,
you see, he
molds me into being
until my life, it lines
his palms, he
shapes me into creation
a master sculptor,
i am reborn
in the sanctity of his touch
we blend into the
disappearances of boundaries
that lose sight of
where i end and he begins
my equal and opposite
yet still my reflection
his fingers twist my gravity
into submission
resting gentle on curve of neck
inside of wrist
his hands, oh how they massage my pulse
into beating.


her love,
you bet I said her love,
remaining un-passed
among different captors,
I've a one-fish net
to grasp mine from the sea,
because although many, she
is one I need to keep,
the key to my laughter,
and that day that I'll ask her
I can't wait for
that proposal of devotion,
the giant among combined words,
the start of a different chapter
her touch, her taste,
her smell, her grace,
her gaze in mine,
the feeling of her face,
her mind,
will all be mine;
not just spiritually,
but more along the dotted line,
and I'll love her even more
as I have in often times,
dedicating fingers to be laced,
lips to be locked,
eyes to be combined,
coaxing her love
to come closer,
to jail me deep inside,
so I can whisper my
deepest secrets
involving her body,
my imagination's
sweetest crimes.


his mind
divine center of nervous thoughts
combined with
futures intertwined,
i long to
slip inside his dreams
and weave myself into
his lifeline.
were he
robbed of sight,
he'd still see me
with his touch,
constructing my image
with gentle fingertips.
had i no words,
he would still hear me
calling him forth with my eyes;
the reflection
of my intentions
embedded deep within my gaze.
free of defenses,
our love is senseless,
beyond the limits
of sight and sound.
for it is within our hearts
that the language of love
can be found.


Honestly. I try to avoid nominating Cry because of us knowing each other. But this, IMO, is some of his best poetic work. Abiona, one of if not thee greatest woman writer to grace this site, also did a great job here. Their chemistry together was just stupid dope. Not a fan of love poetry, but this was outstanding.
