How Do I Love You?
How do I love you?
Let me count your toes.
And kiss them
even before you have had a shower
after a long day.
I will cut your toenails
but please don't ask me to paint them
for I would want to paint
the sunrise and the sunset
and the suns golden rays
as it moves through the day.
I would want to record its dazzling journey
through your soul.
I would even try
to paint the sun as it shines in the night.
I would consider each toe nail
my canvas
to paint your beauty upon.
I would get lost
in the painting of your toenails
and we would have no time
to be ordinary lovers
who occasionally
massaged each others feet
just to relax and unwind
at the end of the day.
