Love Poem

I've read love poems
in the past
once or twice
against my will.
They seemed cliche.
Overdone
gushy.
Even the phrase, "Love poem,"
Seemed stale.

But then I found love,
(I mean really found it)
And something changed.

And now I know what it feels like to:
a) have a heart so full it could burst
b) feel a strange warmth from within

c) spend hours awaiting my love's return
e) all of the above

I still don't like the name,
"Love poem,"
But I think I can relate
To what they said
about the bubbling over
of love.
