If you were to wake next to me,
you would find that I am waking with a smile
though the amount of breaths that have passed
through me since then are innumerable much to my
chagrin.
all I have are parasympathetic expressions that
lead me to a beach with miles
of sand like talc.
I am on your shirtless back speaking freely into your ear.
38 miles and mouths that press together
and I still taste YOU on my breath now
The sea is on both sides of us
one side is silent while the other is spectacular
and symphonic.
Each ripple of your musculature matches the sand as if both can
only be arranged be arranged so perfectly by nature.
And though envy pours out of me
in the form of her and him,
I walk away with you
and you hold my hand.
hey Corey, wherever you are, i think this is your best poem yet (not to mention that picture is amazing). you really ought to try published (and take me with you along for that ride, ha) check out the new diary link on my site if you ever have time. keep up the great work

Which is more intense: The love for someone, or the hatred of those times when that person is absent from your life?

I wish you could hear me snap, or better yet, clap and cheer. Never mind that it isn't what you do for Poetry.It's what I feel like doing.
