Love Song Poem by Elsa Bear

compiling a playlist
of love songs so sweet.
ipod shuffle reminds me of you.
floating like a cannonball
down a stream of acoustic melodies.
a violin climax
a chorus of voices
singing a song for me,
for us.

you treat me like a princess,
i'm falling for you
head over a feet.
best friend with benefits,
as alanis once sang
in that dulcet voice
accompanied by lyrical perfection.
listening to the melody,
lost in the music,
a jazz rift,
a piano and a saxophone,
i close my eyes and think of you.

lying next to you,
listening for the sounds of your breath.
our hearts beating together.
