love,
I am loving.
and Love,
I am learning.
in these past few months
I have been learning:
I am learning to love.
learning to love, you
(
learning to love you more)
I am learning to love you
much faster
than I have been trying
these past fifteen years
to love myself.
it is not the morning tea- it is not the winter coats-
or the
fireplace crackle-
kind of --warmth.
it is a new kind of radiance
that you give to me,
fill me up with. one with
depth,
and a pair of tangible hands.
learning to love you:
in different tongues, and
underneath your palms.
