Poem #1 name of poem: do I love you because
Do I love you because?
Do I still love you because I am lonely?
Drowning in doubt, hoping you will somehow save me
Will my life magically transform in your presence?
A wave of your hand sweeps away nay Sayers?
Do I love you because I am afraid to love myself?
Poem #2 name of poem: do you love?
Do you love?
Do you love the way she smiles at u?
Capturing your heart
Holding her hand
The way she smells
Do you love?
The silence between u
Long walks going nowhere
Her presence in your mind
Do you love her warmth, kindness, and generosity?
Love flowing abundantly
Her smile caressing your soul
Do you love?
Her everything
As she loves yours
All accepting
Your faults, habits
Idiosyncratic things
Therein lies the key
If you say you love
