Crush: Love Poems

I am here for Networking

About Me



Haiku

if i am yr heart
imagine me inside
beating, pumping, loving

or this one

Standing In The Checkout Line, Reading In Touch Magazine, Emily Jackson Has Decided What She Wants

is a kind of real love.
the end-of-a-movie predictable love
the Duracell battery everlasting love
the rock-paper-scissors playful love
the Italian marble unbreakable love
the “made in America” dependable love
the Ancient Egypt sophisticated love.
the Krispy Kreme way too sweet love
And, if you can give her
what she needs,
in return,
she’ll give you some
of that Super Wal-Mart kind of love
(not the everyday low price kind of love)
You know,
That 24/7, Always Open kind of love
