A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Love Poem


a beautiful accident occurred 
the day we met,
your beauty ran into my eyes

and then your voice scraped
the fender of my heart
and we laughed and exchanged
assurances of love

later exchanging vows
and living under one policy
some beautiful cumulus 

and accident forgiveness
neither of us 
felt we needed.

This is lovely-
For Freeform poetry I think the “ands” are not necessary

When your voice bumped
the fender - my heart
we laughed and exchanged
Promises of love

an accident -
forgiveness
neither of us
felt we needed.

You create the mood do easy then severe the connection.
Your wit is sharper than ever. However we do need to discuss the gap in your coverage.

Beautifully written. Jacob!
Accidents happened… Unconscious by design - maybe, totally unexpected unlikely. That how love begins!

From the sound of things, you got totaled. I hope your premiums didn't go up.

hard to get after so many accidents.<.. read more
sounds like you had roadside assistance and a low deductible.

Clever, Clever....
This is beautiful, Jacob, in so many ways. I love "your beauty ran into my eyes" and "then your voice scraped the fender of my heart."

Serendipity brings people together....but sometimes it turns out to be an accident. But I think that you tell the tale of people who met and married and were actually happy. No forgiveness necessary. Lydi**
