Standing on the balcony ledge,
You surprise me with a kiss.
This is where we begin to dance on the edge
Because if you leave, everything about you I will miss.
Like the way you catch my eye
And tell me you love me
In such ways that make me sigh
And hope forever yours I’ll be.
Or the way you laugh at things I say
And how you make sure I’m comfortable when we lie
Side by side while our elbows touch.
The only thing I need to know
Is exactly how much
You love me and when it will show.
But all we have is now-
As the curtains are closing, we take our bow.
I like this poem for so many reasons. Really nice.
“The only thing I need to know
Is exactly how much
You love me and when it will show.”
I love those lines… I have been in that place before.
I love it. Beautifully simple.
You’re yet young right? You’re a good poet. don’t waste it. I waited till I was 55. of course it’s never too late to have a happy childhood. I like the capitalizing the first lines like poets used to. the others don’t give me confidence they are poems. Thanks for following my blog (rumi-nations.com). i’d follow yours but saw no follow button. I’ll just post this here but add i liked them all. and some were very impressive.

Thank you for following my blog … Hopefully we will have an opportunity to discuss the poetry we write. I enjoyed this poem.
Lovely poem! The line about asking how much he loved her and when it would show says so much about the state of mind and state of the relationship.
