Songbird, With Love

I kissed your skin

And heard something crawl

From your lips, down the wall

Between every crevice in my cheek

Giving my ears a playful peak

Of what I’d been waiting on whim

To hear. Your voice becomes a song

I’d like to hum, six-something A.M.,

 

As the sun spoons the world’s ledge:

“I’ve loved you all along”.

Author's Note

Been sick, and I've got little to do but read and write poems. I apologize if the title and/or poem doesn't make too much sense. When I get sick, I find my brain becomes a bit wishy-washy.

Hope you enjoy, anyhow!

xoxo

you are quite the poet...abstract to a degree, but some mighty good lines to chew on, to digest...always such a good ending with you.

"as the sun spoons the world's ledge" love that.

sounds like "i kissed you and then you told me you loved me...and i felt that within every crevasse of my body"

like columbus discovering the world...and that it wasn't flat...but there is much more to it...just like there is much more to us now that we feel such love...it's more than physical.

nice work

This was beautiful! I loved it! I feel like I read this at like the perfect time. Because I just finished one of the best series ever! Definitley on my all time favorite list! But It was so good, it made me cry towards the end, and then it put me in a lovey dovey mood, which is why I think this was the perfect timing.

A spoonful of sun, the imagery combines with surreal emotion, I like this!

[Aly Jones]

This was amazing, Devon! I love it, as always with you. :)

Also, sorry to hear that you're sick!

[devon]

Thank you so much! :)

And I'm hoping to be better soon!

[Aly Jones]

What's wrong? :(

[devon]

Probably the beginnings of the flu.

[Aly Jones]

Aw. That sucks. :( I hope you get better soon, Devvie.

[devon]

Thank you! I hope so, too! :/

[Aly Jones]

I caught Mono. We thought it was the flu, but it turned out so much worse. :( Plus, my boyfriend broke up with me just before I found out. D:

[devon]

Aw, why'd be break up with you?? :(

[Aly Jones]

He said he's got stuff going on. Then, when I called him the next day to ask if it was anything I did, he said, "It wasn't you. I just didn't feel a spark."

[devon]

That's awful, Aly! Well, at least now you are free to find someone who will feel that spark!

[Aly Jones]

Yeah, I guess. And at least we're friends now. :)

[devon]

That's good! I'm glad you're staying friends. :)

[Aly Jones]

Me, too. :) It would've been too hard on me if we weren't.

[devon]

Understandable. :) I wish you the best!

[Aly Jones]

Same to you! :D

[devon]

Thank you!

[Aly Jones]

You're welcome, Devvie. :)
