Some poetry for a Saturday night

From The Selected Poems of Nikki Giovanni: 1968–1995  Enjoy

LOVE IS 
Some people forget that love is
tucking you in and kissing you
"Good night"

No matter how young or old you are
Some people don't remember that
love is
listening and laughing and asking
questions
no matter what your age

Few recognize that love is
commitment, responsibility
no fun at all
unless

Love is
You and me


A POEM OF FRIENDSHIP
We are not lovers
because of the love
we make
but the love
we have

We are not friends
because of the laughs
we spend
but the tears
we save

I don't want to be near you
for the thoughts we share
but the words we never have
to speak

I will never miss you
because of what we do
but what we are

together
