These poems all have to do with different parts of a person's body that you love. It's not sick or anything. I worked hard on these and so far the people who have read them have enjoyed them.
Your Lips
I see your lips, moving all the time
Your words wash over me
I'm not quite sure what you're saying
Listening moves aside for staring.
I could stare at your lips for hours
Perhaps I have before.
They are the perfect shape for me
I can imagine my lips on yours
When we kiss our two worlds collide.
When your lips curve into a frown, I frown
Smiling only heightens their perfection
Nothing could make me love them less.
Your Eyes
Your eyes shine bright
Light reflects off them
As they sparkle like diamonds in the sky.
Their depths are unimaginable
They seem to stare right through me
Looking into them is like looking into a bottomless pit.
Their color is undescribable to my own eyes.
Emotions move across your eyes
Like ripples in the water.
You try to mask your feelings
But I can see them clearly
Through your beautiful eyes.
Nothing could make me love them less.
Your Hands
Your hands brush over my brow
Like the sands of time.
I can feel the heat of your body through them
As they caress my cheek.
As you take my hands in yours,
Your strength passes over to me.
When I hold your hand in mine,
I can feel the hardness of the years.
Your hands hold me up so that I won't fall.
They help to carry me through the years
And I owe everything to them.
Over time they will grow old and withered
Like the rest of your body,
But nothing could ever make me love them less.
Your Voice
Your voice is like a caress
A brush across my face.
It brings to mind
Things lost in time.
Your voice invokes feelings
Locked deep inside.
When I hear you speak
Everything but your voice remains
As the world disappears.
Words turn into images and memories
As your voice weaves a web of thoughts.
The beauty of your voice is bright and
Nothing could make me love it less.
Your Heart
Your heart is a big as an ocean
Filled to the depths with emotion.
You hold the whole world inside
And I am the only one who can get by.
The closer someone gets to you
The more of your heart you expose.
Devoted to me, love pours out
And nothing could make me love it less.
Your Mind
Your mind is a collision of thoughts
Dreams and feelings.
Bursts of inspiration erupt at
The most inopportune times.
Intellectual moments abound in an ocean
Filled with phrases, equations, summarizations.
The beauty that is your mind, makes me
Shake and quiver in fear of all the things it could dream up.
Images swirl and twirl, while words overflow them all
As they break into moments of your past.
You have one of the greatest minds of our time
And nothing could make me love it less.
Your Face
Your face is like the perfect painting
Each stroke of the brush better then the last.
By themselves the components look odd
But put them all together and you have the perfect match.
When your face turns to mine
I can see all your emotions on display.
You hide nothing
Everything is left open to the elements.
Your feelings flirt across your face
Like leaves in the wind.
No scars or marks will ever dull its perfection
It's my example of beauty
And nothing could make me love it less.
