I know my heart
cannot be opened
to confirm
if the words
that flow out of my mouth
are genuine
but the look in my eyes
would bear me witness
when I say
I love you!
For you bring out
the sweetness in me
like how the juice maker
squeezes out the juice
from oranges.
…and this sweetness
instigates my heart
to make my mouth
flow those words
I say
like, I love you!
Submitted for Thursday Poets’ Rally, week 35

Romantic yet there is a certain earthiness in the metaphor of the juice. Nice twist (pun accidental).

!! Happy Rally !!
You’re words of Love clearly state your heart’s intent α¦ You’ve reminded us all… that Love is “magic” so no walls can contain it, and no doors can keep it… from finding a home with another heart α¦
@ny_heidi xo
the eyes tell the truth, and the words have to follow on…
I love you, can sound so sweet, but the eyes must concur…

Eyes carry the heart’s message, especially when in love.
Nice…… π
Well done and very romantic … and Happy Birthday! According to Ji you are celebrating. Hooray! π
Very romantic, yes the eyes cannot lie about what one really feels. Great poem!
Enjoyable. I like this:
For you bring out
the sweetness in me

squeezes out the juice
from oranges.
