Another Cleave poem – two separate poems combined to form a third
Don’t be afraid I want to
Take the risk, be with you
It will work out fine loving you
You loving me unconditionally
I, making you mine for always
How else will we feel in the moment
The magic that holds us captive
In your words, right here, right now
Take the plunge and take me
Dive with me into the depths
In ocean swirls of our dreams.
You came looking, I watched you
Searching in my draws trying to find my truth
Attempting to find my soul which I had hidden
Tucked among my words specially reserved
You wanted to know my secret love affair
Why I smiled –clearly,it wasn’t for you
What made me laugh if not you, then who?
How could you win my heart who was he?
I had left signs and traces that confused you
For you to find, sending you into a spiral
My heart made of my butterfly wings
You failed to discover, you could not see
It had already been taken, it was always you
This is a Cleave poem. In simple terms, a Cleave poem can be read as three separate poems. The first poem is the regular typeface to be read vertically –the second poem is the part in italics and the third is the whole poem read horizontally.

I love the way you feel
You look at me like a dream
A certain softness hypnotizing me
In your eyes, casting a spell
I can’t help myself night and day
When we touch you are the one
I lose control when you claim me completely
In your arms, we become one
I’m caught up in your rapture when I’m with you
This is my second experiment with a Cleave poem. In simple terms, a Cleave poem can be read as three separate poems. The first poem is the regular typeface to be read vertically –the second poem is the part in italics and the third is the whole poem read horizontally.
