Array ( [sid] => 175481 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Would you? [time] => 2013-03-19 20:38:22 [hometext] => one of the few poems i can honestly say i was stone cold sober when i wrote. i was trying to remind myself of what's important. i reminded myself that i'm waiting for my 'soul mate'...and that she would want me clean. got me to thinking. [bodytext] => Would You?

on the only piece of paper in this place,
i'll paint the words i should say to your face.
but you're not even real, so this will surely do,
since i'm fairly sure the future hates me and you.

you should have some Fire. Intensity. Depth.
you should be in love with me until after i die.
you should sigh softly when i kiss you.
you should smile secret smiles that make me blush.
you should cook two things better than anyone.
so should i.
you should want me around you, because I am Good.
you should laugh liquid out of your nose, because of me.
you should find the lighter side of your doom...darker.
you should be okay with owning me.
you should be 'so damn stubborn' occasionally. rarely.
you should have been waiting for me, and know it. and KNOW it.
you should care that...well, just care.
you should expect passion, like a poison that keeps you alive...
and feverish, flush with a light head, quickened breath,
and a need to want my desire.
you should find me soon, because i miss you.
you should be thinking about me...in the back of your mind,
right before you fall asleep,
the moment before you open your eyes,
even while you're with him.

What's funny is that you think I'm not real, but here i am...waiting...
wishing.
wishing you were real, too.

This is really really good! I love how you're looking for you're soul mate but you don't expect someone perfect: just someone perfect for you! My favorite part is when you say she should laugh liquid out her nose bc of you. I hope you find her soon!

"you should expect passion, like a poison that keeps you alive..." Exceptional!

Wow...I am TRULY impressed with your level of embracing. There are alot of really good poets on this site, I will say.

With no diminishing or disrespect to anyone else’s efforts on this site, I have to let you know that, after my own poetry, yours is hands-down my favourite. I don't normally toss praise by the bucket, but man, I'm telling you, you are a hill of a poet, and my hat (if I had one on) would be off to you.

Best,

Invierno
