Analysis of something you'd love



I want to write something you’d love me for,
something I could whisper in our secret places.
I want to be why you would read some more,
be what’s spoken when your mouth tastes us.

I need to soak myself in your unbroken shore.
In, around me, out your liquid laces.
I need to drink inside our deep desire’s core,
leaving waves of my unsubtle traces.

I am the woman calmed by your devoted storm,
reaching out for why the wind races.
I am the rip at where your night is torn
and yet the kiss of our connected spaces.

Jana Satterlund

I wrote my first poem at the age of 10. Although I enjoyed reading and writing poetry, I didn't truly appreciate it until a few years ago. At 21 I started really writing for myself as a release. It has surely become my escape, my late night ritual, my confession. I feel honored to be a part of this community where so many talented poets come together. I appreciate any sentiment and am elated at the opportunity to comment on so many beautiful pieces! more…
