Love Poem: Love

Love

To convict a man
you first must break his spine.  
He will stand again, 
like a budding flower, 
ever knowing the 
tears that crawled 
and wavered 
in his hands.  

He will only speak
your name, 
my love, 
and the pulses of 
each finger, 
wrapping around yours, 
will vibrate the world.
