my next poetry project is called "all my love." this one was a "mini-album" that would hold over until my next full-length "album." with this one, after "freedom of the verse" was more moody and sad, i wanted to see if i could write an album entirely about love. i wanted it to be a bit happier than the last, and love seemed like the perfect topic to talk about. here's what each poem is like:
1. five different ways - here, i address the question of "is it possible to say 'i love you' across multiple poems without feeling like you're treading the exact same ground?" this was one of the last ones i wrote for the "mini-album," and i knew from the jump i wanted it to be the starter.
2. birds - a story about an onlooker observing others being in love, told through "birds." it plays on the term "lovebirds," and our onlooker watches the "birds" and yearns for the same amount of love.
3. lips are saved - this poem discusses the stigma of having a first kiss. a 19-year old has kissed less people than a 14-year old, but he's not bothered by it because he's abstaining until he finds the right person to kiss.
4. you - another poem written about the person i had a crush on. it talks about being shamelessly in love and being able to fully acknowledge that love.
5. if you're reading this, i love you - i dropped this phrase across my social medias, and this poem doesn't discuss "love" in regards to relationships: it discusses love in regards to genuinely caring for others. it talks about loving the people in your life that are genuinely good, kind-hearted people.
