Word For Love – Pamela Sackett

What to say, how to say
I’m looking for precision in another word for love

I could cry—shield your eyes
my feelings are heading toward collision
quick! another word for love
now’s the time to stretch my mind, flex it to find another word for love

don’t want it to be sentimental
just because he’s sincere, dear and gentle
don’t want it to be jejune or sappy, just because he makes me so simply silly and happy

what to say, how to say
to share this exuberant vision with another word for love
I could gush and turn to mush
help! I need some supervision to find another word for love

now’s the time, the moon’s aligned
I pray it shines on another word for love

don’t want an abbreviation for a mystery too mysterious for summation
can’t bear a word that’s static—every letter must be actively dramatic

I want a word to describe those rapturous waves he causes me inside
I want a word to reflect his miraculously calming profound effect
what if this word needs to be so immense the pronouncing of it
makes no sense?

perhaps I need another language to spare me this communication anguish
perhaps it’s a fruitless endeavor or can one word be that intelligibly tasteful and clever?

what to say, how to say
I give myself permission to make a delicious word for love
when I do, I’ll notify you
I’ll make it a new tradition to use this amazing word for love
and in time this word of mine will symbolize and be my perfect word for love

it’s gonna be so splendid, I’ll bet you my doctor recommends it
every time it’s uttered, the complexity of my endless adoration will be covered!
