Poem without title
By Kenneth Weene
The most touching word in Japanese?
“Aishiteru”
Do you know what it means?
Only between two lovers
whispered in the night
can one truly say
“aishiteru.”
I say it now to you.
“Aishiteru”
Do you know what it means?
Only between two lovers
whispered in the night
can one truly say
“aishiteru.”
I say it now to you.
Lovely!
Should I blush?
