Yellow

How do I love you?
Like sweet memories of hip-hop
and penny candies
Or do I love you like stars,
Filling every crevice of eternity?

Do I love you like green, or like red,
Or royal blues?
Like love that is new
Or like pain?

Maybe like hop- scotch and vanilla
ice cream
Like tennis shoes
Or do I love you like Christmas
morning and summer time?

Do I love you like us and we
Like certainty
Like simplicity
Like art and spirituality

How do I love you?

I love you like poetry
Like singing my favorite song in
the shower
Like clear skies, 83 degrees
Like yellow.
