Because I am so in Love with you I have a rhythm in my head
constantly bouncing round and round, round and round,
round and round again.
Because I am so in Love with you words begin to flow
in synchrometric meterstick thoughts I think
I forgot how to know.
Because I am so in Love with you their collision begins to melt the page.
Soon page after page after page after page
after page are all up
in flame.
Because I am so in Love with you I take time to say the right things.
Love is the pursuit of perfection. Poetry
is a conversation
that sings. Because I am so in Love with you
I might not sleep tonight. In fact, I may not sleep this week--
if it means to you I write. Because I am so in Love
with you I feel like new cliches, which
you and I will defy together
forever, until we exit left stage. Because I am so in Love
with you I am not afraid to reframe the refrain. Change
is a good thing--even a great thing--
so long as at least one thing
stays the same: Because I am so in Love with you
we lay in my bed till late evening.
