Can you share a poem about love?

I’m thinking of you
Under the coconut tree
When we whispered words
I glided through like a chameleon
From word traps
And verbal images
You were tired
Trying to lean on me
From the edge of an existence
I apologized
I was not interested
I made a good long sentence
Firm and full of common sense
Love visited me like a specter
Your fresh image lay buried in the old album
It was to be
We sat under the coconut tree
Summoning prolix arguments
I sought the security of long distance
Coiling my emotion into an earphone
