teeth and throat

looking up into two,
too-water-blue,
reflecting my own

that don't have description,

I begged.


"darling,
      will you tell me please?

what is the saddest color?"
.
.
.

you gathered me close-
all-knowing-you,
then whispered to my teeth and throat.


"it's a secret,"
you said,

"but you're very close to figuring it out."


dumfounded,
confused,
I returned the kiss to this-
or my-
water angel;


and then,
I knew the answer.

    I like this. The first stanza is amazing, and the rest of the poem held my attention right to the last word. Great job! Keep it up. I always love your work.

    Red.

    What is all this about sad and happy colors, eh? I'm lost. Great write....I pictured a tear drop
    "looking up into two,
    too-water-blue,
    reflecting my own"

    Maybe I'm reading wrong, but this part makes me sad, like crying...

      haha, don't know why I was thinking of that really.

      the "looking up into two,
      too-water-blue,
      reflecting my own" part is about both a tear drop, and his eyes. they're really blue and mine don't even have a set color. they change, and it's hard to define. so yeup.
      anyways,
      thanks for reading Luc!

    great poetry. the dialogue style (i love it), pulling the readers into the action and then leaving them with a riddle which they can/should solve – each in their own way as each is a different entity and this is what poetry is all about: satisfying each in their own way without them being even aware of it. this is a beautiful love poem.

    i can't stop staring
    can't stop thinking.

    this = being able to finally sleep after days of heavy eyes and aching bones.
    in other words, it is absolutely.. remarkable.
    i hate how i run out of adjectives like that.

    but a perfect piece and oh, so perfect words

    I agree.

    and I like that you represented the happy color in a kiss from someone you love.
    that was beautiful, clever, and creative.

    you're an amazing writer doll.

    you never cease to blow me away.
