Beneath the pine's
crowning height
and gracious sunlight,
on leaves, needles
and nervous sides,
I stole a kiss.

To keep and answer
future whys,
I remember love.

Be and I'll be smitten
'til a day after death,
when I find reason to discard
first moments best filed as,
what I'd like all my days to be.

I will remember,
hands kept warm in hands,
more fitting than a glove
and never lose that
which was worth stealing.


I dunno, perhaps I should let this poem rest a bit so I can get a fresh perspective on it.

I like the second version, still. This poem kind of wilts with all the line breaks- it's a flowing sort of poem... and you (IMO)  already had too much punctuation to cause halts... now you're adding the line breaks on top of it? I say go back to version 2- sometimes, the more we work with something, the more jumbled it gets, and the harder it is to see it in perspective... or maybe I'm just saying that because I liked the earlier version more... lol... hope I've helped.

Who is John Galt?

Is this to be my White Whale?

Big Blue Lu,
definetly, without any gloves too.

Thank you both for your input.
