"About Love" - Poem by BW Derge from "Manifestations of Consciousness" (Or, (Or, More Fucking Poems) - originally written in 2008
About Love
We can hardly find time these days
To write about love-
Expressing so much with the same intensity
As every other fucking word that exists…
-
I say-
“Baby, I Love You.
I love everything about you.”
-
What is meaning?
She can say-
“I Love You, too.”
-

Is it true?
More words erupt.
Words and more words-
Trying desperately
To explain why once
I put so much fucking faith
Into such a silly word

As Love.
