the lover

your mouth is a cathedral -
i want to pray in you forever!

she looked at him
carefully
from the eiderdown,
and wondered why
the biggest bastards
had
the best lines.

Oh to write half as lovely as you! My heart grew quick reading the Scene. So good. I love the way you break your lines and your simplistic yet original images that bring a sense of organic beauty to the poem.
Fuck that sound so pretentious, but I really mean it.
Keep writing
