Here's my attempt at a Love and/or Anti-Love poem:
"poem"
every word & image has a target
audience & every line break
is meant to entice & move you
to reach out for the next phrase
how i love you & ache for your
return that moment when you
lift me up & read yourself
into me what i beg you to do
when you find yourself
completely alone with me
