I will write you

Ленка Кроупова
I will write you a poem
for change

about how I look forward to seeing you, wherever
that not a day goes by without me wanting to touch you
about holding back tears of desire when it rains
about the fact that before you go to sleep it is you
and the first memory in the morning is you
about the summer heat, which is your passion
and the kindness of the waves of the sea, in which you find satisfaction
and about the nocturnal chill of your falling asleep, like a plaster for a scratch
when it doesn't want to sleep yet

I will write you a poem
of how your body dances and mine is born again
today is the day of new birth, celebrate with me please
that nothing in this world is more beautiful
prettier, sweeter, more wonderful than you
that your tenderness breaks my neck on the way to midnight and dawn
that I need you, I need you and you're the only one I told
that everything I am is here for you
and I will do my best to bring it to you

I will write you a poem
real like the house by the sea that you made, my home
but it will be quite short
actually I could just write: I love you
but there are so many words that I would feel like I'm cheating you
if I didn't line them all up

when i finish this poem
I will whisper it to you in the silence of the night
to fly around the world to her darling's ear
before waking up

I'll say it anyway: I love you the most I know
more and more with love every day I grow
