the straight line feels spicy
the string of words feels brash
the choice of concentrated terms feels sticky
a row of spooky expressions feels cruel
the line of sweet poems feels cynical
serene poems feel ache

I can't always write beautifully
I can't always be charming
I don't always reflect diligently
I'm not always fluent in love
I am not always great to flatter
I can't always understand you

I want you to be happy
even though I only have love
through words full of meaning
although sometimes different taste

my heart is simple
your smile
your laughter
your cherry
your life
my happiness

my true sincerity
your anxiety
your disappointed
your sadness
your grief
my pain

I asked softly, lovingly
should I write a love poem?
