Nikki Giovanni

It’s easy to see

The delight I am taking

In this life

I am always smiling

I am in love

If I had never held your hand

Never been so close

To the most kissable lips in the universe

Never wanted ever so much

To rest my tongue in your dimple

Maybe I could sleep at night

If this question I ache to ask

could be answered

If only I could stop dreaming

of you

Maybe I could sleep

at night

I do not know

Where I am

Or how I got here

I am lost

I want to find myself

In your arms

I look at the full moon

And bay

Come

Come

Come to me

Let’s explore

A new world

In order to properly care for things

They must be loved

And touched

Yet there is something

Evergreen

About this love

That I

Offer you

This night is made

For walking

Holding your hand

Having a crescent moon

Laugh down on us
