Let me Learn

Talk to me about romance;
make me think, between
the drinks you pour
with your generous hand,
that you are not so drained of love.

Speak, with that heavy accent
and give me the courage
of an outspoken goddess.

Make me trust not only you,
but the hope that you cause
to rise up in my pulse.

Witness the miracles,with me,
of our crashing into
the hundreds of poems
that we drain from one another.

Teach me that not everyone has a goodbye
everything doesn't always end sour
and full of nothing
but questions of why and why not.
