Contagious Like Swine (H1N1)

she falls asleep on nietzsche;
her hand rested on the shoulder of dove wings

she tells me she loves me with 3am whispers
and always wakes with a contagious smile

 

I'm smiling


and now even my poems are smiling.

    Wow. Sounds like somebody's in love.

    This is wonderful Matt. It's great how you can go from bleak commentaries on society to completely innovative love poems. I've never seen anyone write love poems that so thoroughly avoid cliche and still really work!

    You are incredibly talented.

    a genuine keeper...this poem feels soft, intimate, and surprisingly tender. And yes, like everyone else below me, I'm smiling.

    Well this just makes me smile, plain and simple. You're spreading around the best flu I've ever caught. The simpleness of it all and its brevity make this very appealing. Plus, it seems you've got just the type a girl I'd like to have around.
    I really liked the second stanza, I can just imagine a smile creeping on the girl's face when she comes to terms with her surroundings and it gives her that simply content feeling. Which, in turn, clearly would make you feel on top of the world.

    I love it.

    Your first line rocks the shit out of first lines.

    "and now even my poems are smiling."
    You're disgusting.
    It's such a good, good line though.

    this is one of your best romantic writes. i knew there was someone who was making you smile... i just know those things as you well know i do. i can see her smiling, too. well, not physically on her face, but i can. it is so nice to see that on you and in your words, too. you deserve that and i see that she thinks that too. adding to my keepers list.

    I loved it... And it made me smile... And my insides went "awwwww"... And my fingers started searching the empty side of my bed for a hand to hold...

    (As much as I loved it, a tiny part of me hates you right now...)

    Aww, I’m meltingggggg. I love that you’re smiling and that your poems are smiling – it makes me smile too

    Haha, I usually fall asleep on my phone but Nietzsche sounds much more appealing

    Can’t say I blame the girl Beautifulllll poem. It's getting "bookmarked" inside my ribs
