sweeping long whips for eyelashes
curling up, reaching toward heaven
where you're from...

i can see them black and beautiful
laying
leaning
on your peach sweet skin

such quiet pieces of you speak so loudly to me behind my eyes

soft palms of pink tender skin and lines
that grip my heart with the most saccharine tenderness

you're next to me
an angel's breath is on my shoulder
you're the loudest quiet i've ever felt

the sweetest chaos lies within your touch

and the sky is jealous that your eyes aren't stars among their own

they're mine.
my stars.

    git a room!!!!!

    <3 the other Pat but not patrick :)
    The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.

    I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.

    it think jessie is describing an infant.. perhaps a nephew.. much too sweet to be a man, or even a young man.. beautiful poem, even if i am wrong..

    :)
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Just a suggestion...

    don't use "saccharine" (I forgot how to spell it, so that's my best guess).

    This poem is a genuine display of affection, and, at least to me, saccharine implies artificiality... until now, I've always heard it used to imply too much sweetness... in a bad way.

    Also, I hate peaches with the fire of a thousand suns. Peach is the most vile substance on Earth, handed down to mankind by the gods to punish us for something vulgar eons ago. But that's just my opinion. You can keep it in the poem. I just wanted to take the opportunity to sing of the foulness of peach.

    I think it is another excellent piece of work from the wonder that is Jessie. That Patrick is one very lucky guy.

    LMAO! Good call on saccharine. But the peaches thing just made me laugh. I didn't know someone could hate a color or a fruit so much. :P

    And guess what? I hate Nicholas Cage with the fire of a thousand suns. :P

    And Mr. Kwygibo (goddamnit that isn't easy to spell) I must say that I'm pleased to see your comments on my poetry. It has been too long!

    And olderman, it's about a young man. But you're right, the poem sounds very very very innocent and stuff... or something. :P haha
