Love Me

Love Me

A Poem by Alani
"

To love another, is to love self

"

Love me with your words

They colour in my pictures

Created in my head

Moonbeams and fable creatures

 

Love me with your eyes

They pierce the walls of permanence

Created by my fear

Death and silent resonance

 

Love me with your laughter

It breaks down surrounding walls

Created by dismay

Expectations and pedestal falls

 

Love me with your hands

They trace the scars and wounds

Of every time I despised myself

Different from well groomed

 

Love me with your being

It amplifies my consciousness

Because I in me is me in you

The epitome of self awareness

"I in me is me in you... " How true.

Very poetic romance you've written in words that makes some sensible &, of course, pleasurable meaning to love itself. Nice imagery!

Wow what a wonderful way to describe the love!

Love me with your being
It amplifies my consciousness
Because I in me is me in you
The epitome of self awareness

Hats off to you!

Thank you :)
Great concept! I particularly like this line:

'Love me with your hands
They trace the scars and wounds
Of every time I despised myself'

There are many myriad ways to love someone. I thought you did a great job describing that :)

keep writing!
