i hope the following doesn't come off as cheezy or overly sappy. it's not meant to be either. it's meant to be... cute, i guess. i've tried writing in free verse and i've discovered that i suck at it, with very few exceptions. i think my structured poems are better. this one (a different, more fragmented form than usual...) is today's major project for me. ;-) so here goes...

"every"

every freckle
every smile
and i forget
myself awhile
i'm lost in you
the way you are
within my heart
a shooting star

every moment
every gaze
into your eyes
leaves me amazed
that this hypnotic
power occurs
when my eyes fall
square into yours

every heartbeat
every touch
could i yet love
a man this much?
one whose mind thinks
so differently
and yet he's just
the same as me

every moment
every word
that's spoken by
the voice unheard
enshrined forever
in my heart
for this is love:
our work of art.
