Women Poems/Love Poems

POEM TO A WORD UNSPOKEN
You pull me toward you
You fill me My body reaching
toward yours
So full of you
l cannot breathe
lt is the best part of us that loves Yet we love with
our whole selves The night filled with sleep
Only once l touched my fear Named it To this I dedicate
my poem To this And to you Remarkable to me as my own
hands As I touch them Recognize them as mine
Would l destroy my tongue Pull the lips from my mouth
This presence once existing ordering the rest
My world
The answer is here It comes
silently Like a word never
spoken
Hanging suspended
A small green thing
