i wrote this for someone i'm pretty enamored with at the moment. she seemed pretty moved.......now suddenly she wants to do things with me all the time. i think she's starting to like me as much as i like her :)

(every stanza of this poem is a haiku, literally a poem in its own right. a haiku is a japanese-style poem that has 5 syllables on the first line, 7 on the second, and 5 on the last, but you probably already knew that.)

Elizabeth's Poem

When I'm around you
I think I agree with you
Nature is divine

Wild and untamed
You remind me of myself
A soul undefined

An uncarved beauty
I feel infatuated
With your warm smile

Grab me through the eyes
I can see inside of you
Entrancing darkness

I feel a stirring
It's a flutter in my chest
Anxiety, nerves

It's funny, it's strange
Like you're the first girl I've seen
Everyone else pales

It makes me nervous
Like I don't know what to do
Feeling like a fool

I'm acting stupid
It's a sign that I like you
You're so fucking great

Your real compassion
Touches something inside me
I feel more alive

You're so genuine
I don't feel so cynical
Kindness that heals me

You're my desire
I like you more than a friend
Wide open to you

I've rushed things a bit
I really need your patience
Just feel me out first

Let's see if we fit
Because you'd be my escape
I'm still feeling pain

There's greyness, despair
I can see a vague shadow
Covering me now

Such uncertainty
That it's hard for me to deal
Drugs are no comfort

I just need to feel
For someone to want me back
And I hope it's you

I love your friendship
But I want you to be more
To feel like I feel

It would be so good
To have a partner in crime
We could do so much

Scuba and camping
Sabotage and traveling
Activist artwork

So I'd be damn glad
To shower you with my love
If you would have me
