This Man

"Syntax"

 

I want to call you thou, the sound

of the shape of the start

of a kiss - like this, thou -

and to say, after, I love,

thou, I love, thou I love, not

I love you.

 

Because I so do -

as we say now - I want to say

thee, I adore, I adore thee,

and to know in my lips

the syntax of love resides,

and to gaze in thine eyes.

 

Love's language starts, stops, starts;

the right words flowing or clotting in the heart.
