Saying it With Music: A New Poem That Captures Love’s Deepest Longing!

Saying it With Music

It’s not that I’m too shy
To say it to you.
It’s not that too chicken 
To approach you.

It’s just that I can’t find
The right words,
So I turn to music 
To say it for me.

I sent you 
Maxi Priest and Shabby Ranks
“House Call” to let you know
I can see through your façade.

I played Tuff Gong’s 
“Turn your Lights Down Low”
Because I want you to know
That I have those slow and 
Romantic ways.

I’m sending you Beres Hammond’s
“Angel Eyes”
Because I want you to know
I am listening to your
Nonverbal communication.

You see, I’m not too shy
To say how I feel about you.

It’s not that I’m not man enough
To approach you,

I just don’t possess the ideal
Word combinations

To say exactly how I feel about you
So I have to use music 
To say it clear.

So when you listen to Dennis Brown’s
“Love Has Found Its Way”
Know it's me speaking to you.

And

When I send you Boris Gardiner’s
“I Want To Wake Up With You”
He is speaking of my wishful thoughts
As I fall asleep with you 
On my mind.

So when you receive
These musical selections
From me, they are my surrogates,
Saying exactly 
What I want to say to you.

This is my curated musical playlist
Just for you.
