Little Reasons Why

I love all the little things.

I love the way you eat your pizza,

and the way you tie your shoes.

All of the little things that make you special,

are the reasons why you're my muse.

The way your eyes light up when you laugh,

mirrors the sunshine of your smile.

The blue of your irises draw me into you.

I love your hair, free and wild.

The sound of your laughter joyfully fills my ears,

like the echoing of a bell.

Even the thought of your voice breaking with tears...

Your sadness is my personal hell.

How you hold my face and guide my lips in for kisses,

Is as close to heaven as I've ever been.

You pretend you can dance when you know that you can't.

You are such an angel. I doubt you know sin.

The nicknames you save just for me,

are almost as loved as your hands.

I love how instantly you drink your cream and coffee,

and your mumbling I still can't understand.

I love the way you flip your hair

and your face when you get confused.

All of the little things that make you special

are the reasons why you're my muse.

You notice the simple things in life that most don't. I know as I do the same thing all the time. This is a very descriptive poem and you expressed your true love for this person. It was a very lovely read and you did so well writing it and giving the reader your heart for a moment.

I absolutely love this. It has depth and meaning to it that makes the reader get a sense of the compatibility between the muse and yourself.

This is so sweet! I love how you recognize the little things, the things that people often overlook and take for granted. I know that people who notice those things about a person is truly in love. What a beautiful poem!
