Poet John Yamrus Explains: Love is THIS!

by John Yamrus

you

are
a bowl of popcorn,

a slim volume of poems

and laughter
during a moment of silence.

you are
pink bubble gum,

a damn fool

and the only
person in the world
i care about.

you are
a clock with no hands,

a blue bedroom

and a
twenty-dollar bill.

you
refuse to
accept the inevitable.

you own
way too many dresses
and you don’t
shoot pool.

you are
as uncomplaining
as the sea.

ultimately,

no one
can put you
into words...

not

even

me.
