I want

I want

I see you in a way you could never see yourself

I wish my eyes were your morning mirrors

I wish my words were your thoughts

I wish my mind were your mind

I want to know every aching pain you’ve ever felt

I want to be familiar with every fault on your skin

I want to love all of you

But most of all, I want you to love you too.

You've ended with a winner of a line. It shows the heart inside you that beats for that special someone. Nice job here.

Lovely piece! The imagery is great, especially "I wish my eyes were your morning mirrors". It's good to see you posting poetry again, wonderful job! :)

[Einstein Noodle]

what a way to say i love you ... we suffer ourselves so much repetitive, negative brain talk ... so blessed to see oneself through the one that loves us ...

This s a beauty Lauren.If only those we love would see themselves through out eyes yes ?

[Frontier]

Wow, what a fresh and almost untouched perspective on love!
usually its about how the other didn't do this, or that. It seems so pure, spotless. My favorite line is "I wish my eyes were your morning mirrors" Impeccable job.

"I wish my eyes were your morning mirrors

I wish my words were your thoughts

I wish my mind were your mind"

Your well is full of wishes and your dell is full of love. A wonderful poem...:)...............

I really liked the concept of this piece. It's also good to see you back and writing again! I know what it's like when life gets hectic and takes you away from writing. Wonderful poem my friend. :)
