Desperately
I seek
the words
of love
I feel for
you
I need you
to know
I love
you

I found
love words
in others'
poetry
but the words
don't
touch me
and I
seek more-
there must
be more

Words of
depth
are not
deep enough
and words of
love filled
souls
are not
loved
enough

Words of
longing
hearts
do not reach
my heart
and words of
lips
to kiss
cannot know
my
longing

Words of
touching
cannot
explain
the ache
I have
to touch
you

And words
of lovemaking
are devoid
of feeling
after knowing
you

How will
you know
I love
you?
The words
of love,
my love
do not
exist
