SNEAKY

I am not sneaky with my love
I love openly, out loud
prayerfully
full of joy
with intent
when it hurts
especially when it hurts
I love like the world
needs love to make it
go around; I love
like my skin is
brown and warm
and full of wonder
like tongues can tell
truth if they dare 
like everyone is watching
not at all sneaky
with my love
I believe it ought
to be like this
