As soon as I heard

As soon as I heard
    about love
I started looking for you
I set my longing
    loose in the world
    so it could search
relentlessly until it found you
    & drew us together
    & it has

I heard the wind whistling
    a song that blew me away
I learned the words of that song
    go like barbed wire
    They rip me
a new heart every time
    I listen
    to the dark hole of my soul

Now when I lose myself in a poem
    that poem can lose itself in you
I've become a mirror that lets go
    of every face but yours
Take a good look
These words don't say something
    They are something

When I have nothing to say
    it's a good time
to listen & let a poem be
    who I am
This poem was sent to see
    if you're here now
    You are
