If I Were To Write A Poem For You

if i were to write a poem for you
i would rather be direct
and candid, my metaphors
are obvious and concrete
and the allusions
need not be hazy
as to confuse you

from my heart
write it: i love you.

it is you that i love
there is no other

every night i whisper
this to the moon and all the stars
giggle as they listen
