My Poem: Anthology Love Poem Poet to Poet

I wrote this poem when I was taking a poetry class and had become attracted to a fellow student. I imagined our poems published in an anthology on facing pages.

Love Poem

Poet to Poet

Our two poems lie

Face to face

Between

Crisp white sheets of paper

Pressed title to title,

Signiture to signiture.

More than reflections,

They are ourselves,

Stripped naked

And unmasked,

Beautiful and unashamed.

We meet each other

Within a dimension

Where we can't make excuses,

And are unable to lie.

Strangers,

Like old lovers reunited:

Speaking without words,

Touching without hands,

Sharing secrets in silence,

Embracing each other

Beoynd the barriers of "self."
