Love Poems Quotes

“we used to talk all night
and do things alone together

and i’ve begun
(as a reaction to a feeling)
to balance
the pleasure of loneliness
against the pain
of loving you”
― Nikki Giovanni, Love Poems

“If were a shower
I could saturate your hair
Work my way over your lips
Across your shoulders
Around your waist
Through your knees
To the tips of your toes
And back again
Warm wet salty
Sweet”
― Nikki Giovanni, Love Poems

“english isn't a good language
to express emotion through
mostly i imagine because people
try to speak english instead
of trying to speak through it”
― Nikki Giovanni, Love Poems

“if it's a trail we can hike it
if it has two wheels we can bike it

if it's an allergy we can sneeze it
if it's a pimple we can squeeze it

if it's dew it 'covers Dixie'
if it's Tinker Bell it's a pixie

if it's a breeze it can blow us
if it's the sun it can know us

if it's a song we can sing it
if it flies we can wing it

if it's soda pop then it's drinkable
it might be X-Rated but that's unthinkable

if it's a boat we can sail it
if it's a letter we can mail it

if it's a star we can let it shine
if it's the moon it can make you mine

if it's grass we can rake it
if it's free why not take it

if it's a tide it can ebb
if it's a spider it can web

if it's chocolate we can dip it
if it's golf ball we can chip it

if it's gum we can chew it
I hope it's love so we can do it”
― Nikki Giovanni, Love Poems
