Weird Wednesday Love Poem No. 9

August 16, 2023 prompt - ‘geometry’

I had no interest in geometry

until I had the opportunity to study

the complex shapes of your form

the golden ratio of your features

the undulating waves of

concave to convex

the places in you that were hollow

and those thrusting forward to claim space

decare yourself

trumpet your coming

warn me away.

I ignored the warnings.

I whispered into the hollow places.

I filled them with words of admiration.

How beautiful, I would coo, how lovely this shape

and how lovely this other!

I filled you all up

until you were a perfect sphere

and had no need of further sweet words

and none of your pieces reached for me

or warned me

before you rolled down the street

like a stone

scared

so scared

I might stain you green

with the growth of moss.

I want to write full time. I think good books can make the world a better place and that’s how I want to contribute.
