home with you

by Emily Davidson

i don't love you in a will-you-take-me-out-for-dinner way;
the way i love you is more than all of that.
it's more like love in a will-you-take-me-home-with-you sort of way
it's an i-want-to-hold-you-until-your-bones-break kinda love,
i-could-take-your-arm-and-show-you-the-world love,
i-want-to-be-your's-forever-and-never-see-another-male love,
i-want-to-marry-you-and-carry-your-children love,
let's-buy-a-house-with-a-white-picket-fence love.

and the way i love you is in an i'll-take-off-all-your-clothes-and-touch-you-everywhere way,
it's an i'll-make-you-more-man-than-you'd-ever-wished-to-be love,
your-mouth-could-be-my-tongue's-new-home kind of love,
my-heartbeat-sounds-like-your-name love,
i-could-tattoo-your-name-on-my-face love.

it's the kind of love that is priceless
and immortal
it's the kind of love i feel for you

Author's Note: i think this poem would sound better aloud.

Not just aloud, but at a Poetry Slam competition. This has a fantastic rhythm and I love the way the pace quickens like a racing heartbeat. Thank you for sharing this.
