1 min readA series of descriptive comparisons reflecting on how the presence and absence of a loved one profoundly influence the speaker's world.
Your hair is short As is my breath When I see you.
Your curves are steep As is the ride Of loving you.
Your words are deep As is the hole Of missing you.
Your lips are soft As are my knees When I want you.
Your colors dark As my desire Longing for you.
Your skin is smooth As are my days When you’re in them.
Your style is cool As are my nights When you’re not there.
Your bra has holes As does my heart When you’re away.
Your top is gone As is my mind When you’re in sight.
Your bum is round As is my world When you’re around.
Your mind is rich As is my life When you’re in it.
