What love looks like

WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE

***

"If anyone asks you

how the perfect satisfaction

of all our sexual wanting

will look, lift your face

and say, 

Like this."

- Rumi


***

I lift my face to you, my anyone
     my only one, my love,
And see your question
     unspoken but screamed
     all over you
This is what love looks like
What it looks like with
     only that one person
I see you read you
     every line of you
     words without any
     meaning full of meaning
I read you I see your face
I taste the sun and the moon
     and all the stars in all the
     fireworks
