Makeup and Melancholy: A Collection of Poems

You and I

Your nimble fingers wrap around my waist

Your docile eyes covet my curious face.

You are my first love, and I aspire to be your last.

We love without hesitation, regardless of our past.

My soul is illuminated by visions of you,

The only one who could nurture my heart to make it seem so new.

My mind was fragile, my ego so weak...

My body littered with scars, my life looked so bleak...

Then I saw you, walking with that brazen stride...

You embraced me in your arms, and taught me how to have pride!

I know what it feels like to exist now,

Living life to the finest capacity that God allows!

I want to scream it to the world, I love you, I do!

Our lust is adventurous and limitless, our love never falls through.

There is no better substitute, everything is so right when we're together.

Like two turtle doves, it's you and I forever.
