Poem inspired by the poetic masterpiece by E.E.Cummings “Love is thicker than forget.”
And I am deliberately yours;
in breath of eventide, rich dark skies
until every sigh,
every waking moment bears taste of
your name—romance blooms,
urging us descend into shivers unknown;
I’m breathless, fragrance
reverberating
in corners
of
my heart,
my heart, my heart.

Okay, you KNOW when you begin with E.E. Cummings you’ve already got my heart. Yep. And then this gorgeousness:
“rich dark skies
until every sigh,”
And that repeating heart(beat) at the end. So good.
Thanks for pointing out that the repetition at the end is like a heartbeat. I didn’t catch that, but now I realize it’s amazing! 🙂
