MIYM #21

You go around looking for similes that may spell your name.

You look to see if i've hidden your eyes within

Metaphoric meanings.

But my dear, stop searching.

For if it is about love, it is about you.

And that is how it has always been.

Love, Tianamonique.

Beautiful Feat. Jill Scott.

You love me especially different.

Every time you keep me on my feet

Happily excited bout..

It was your voice that I fell in love with.

That first phone call made me sing notes that I didn't know I could reach.

It was like heaven saying hello.

It was like my body completely filled with your harmonic tongue

And I hung onto every word.

Swinging like church bells.

Yes, there was something biblical about

The way you pronounced my name.

As if it was made for your mouth.

As if it was a perfect fit.

As if it had never been said before.

I closed my eyes and pictured myself

Dancing alone with your voice,

Opened them and saw you..

And your cologne, your hands, your smile, your intelligence

Caught me off guard

Completely losing my balance

Falling into your smile

Amazed by how well your hands fit into mine

Getting lost in what blue and yellow had birthed in your eyes

It was lovely.

Your stole away every ex boyfriends name from my vocabulary

Just so I wouldn't compare them to you

Built bridges across your tongue

So every time we kissed it was like walking towards the sun

Bee's could not have stung me harder than your love did.

My love.

You woo me, Your court me, You tease me, You please me

You school me, Give me things to think about..

You were a compilation of composition books.

Rhymes entangled in a genius mind.

Musically inclined to the beat your heart chimed.

Perfectly undefined.

I had gotten to used to found, that I had forgotten what it felt like to find.

You were present tense

First person

Opening sentence

Thesis statement

Parentheses Love close parentheses

Quote I love you end quote

Citation you

Page us

Period.

Myriad times infinity could not equal my love for you.

Cruelly head over heels.

Madly infatuated

Intoxicatingly in love with every part of you

And everything I do not know I swear I will learn to love too..

Cuz you invite me, you cowrite me, you love me, you like me

For everything that I was and wasn't.

Flawlessly loved my flaws because you understood me.

Recognized my lyrics because they fit perfectly with your melody

We sang in perfect tune; harmonious kisses in June; in tune with your soul

I had no control over these feelings.

You filled me like a poem full of similes.

Silly of me to try to compare you because

You're such an incomparable thing.

Incite me to chorus...

Sing away my past because you are now.

And you are beautiful.

Like afros

Like hip hop

Like Billie Holiday

Like the middle of spring

Like Lauryn Hill

Like green eyes

Like palms

Like melancholy love songs

Like photography

Like poetry

Like art

You are beautiful like beauty never existed until you created it.

You are beautiful.

Love, Tianamonique
