The look of you
could part my sentences
bound in marriage
to tripping blasts
of caught breath

you say
no one has studied your face
like I.


But how
could I avert eyes
to lesser things
when I know the grasp of thick lash
to blue vein map of eyelid

the sweeping stare
like a rush of multiple bodies to mine.


The look of you
with colours like these
that scar deeper
than your white
and my black
is a nervous shiver of skin

I am magnetic to your blue
a fever of iris.

One word

and I can't find it.

Excellent doesn't do this justice.

I'm going to rummage.

I WILL be back!

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

You write about such wondrous things.
This is a beautiful poem,
very deep and meaningful.
You obviously love this person so much.
We've all been there where
you can't get enough of someone!!

^*Wonderful write*^

WOW. what do I say to all these beautiful things you've said? I'm so grateful for them, and totally shocked. I'm in awe of you all as writers, so I can't see how mine deserves such praise. But, Thankyou so much.

Love n hugs to you all. xxx
