The dim light hits
so I can see your nose
twitch with the beginnings of a cold.

The gore of the screen
is a contrast to the definition
of perfection sitting to my right.

Kiss me.

Lean over the uncomfortable arm
rest and let my lips feel a different
set then they are used to.

Challenge me.

To think on the out
side of my realm of comfort.

You may be different, you may
be the same, but how?
Give me something to go
on even if I can't.

Your eyes are his,
his nose twitches with the cold
he will give to me in a week.

He is mine.

You are another first
date - broken heart.

Aw... the ending is sweet...

If you want a critique, I have something to mention... the flow is hard to keep up with if you do a line break in the middle of a sentence.  I like line breaks best when each individual line makes sense as a statement itself, as well as together with the earlier one.  

quote:
Give me something to go
on even if I can't.


That's what made me think of what I just mentioned.  

Just a little critical point, hope you don't mind.  Nice to see you posting again, Angel.  

Hope to see more of you,
Allan

Allan,

Sure, I'm always up for any constructive comments and you brought up a really good point that I probably should have mentioned in the original post. I've been playing with my line breaks, trying to find my voice. The line breaks you see here weren't the original breaks intended for this poem. I think the originals were more effective and will keep that in mind in my rewrite.

Ahhh...good to be back !
