Love Is

Some people forget that love is
tucking you in and kissing you "Good night"
no matter how young or old you are

Some people don't remember that love is
listening and laughing and asking questions
no matter what your age

Few recognize that love is
commitment....responsibiity...no fun at all
unless.....

Love is
You and me

~ Nikki Giovanni

And I Have You

Rain has drops....Sun has shine
Moon has beams......That make you mine

Rivers have banks....Sands for shores
Hearts have heartbeats....That make me yours

Needles have eyes......Though pins may prick
Elmer has glue.....To make things stick

Winter has Spring.....Stockings feet
Pepper has mint.....to make it sweet

Teachers have lesson.....Soup du jour
Lawyers sue bad folks....Doctors cure

All and all this much is true
You have me.....And I have you

~ Nikki Giovanni

The Butterfly

Those things
which you so laughingly call
hands are in fact two
brown butterfies fluttering
across the pleasure
they give
my body

~ Nikki Giovanni
